"metals" -- commentary (Brad Garton music)

metals

hardware: Apple MacBook M1 Air, various windchimes, bell trees, dinner chimes, temple bells, tongue drum, kalimba
software: Apple Logic Pro X

I have confessed elsewhere that I generally write these "additional commentary" web pages a while after the original web pages for the pieces themselves. I put them together when I finally get around to updating my main music page, which can sometimes be several months after the piece(s) were finished.

For my metals peice, I had scribbled down a few things I wanted to include in this "additional commentary". For example, I wrote "comment on Trump and this piece". The problem is that I have no idea what I meant to say.

I also put in a link to a page in my blog that had this quote:

A friend, commenting on the current world scene, suggested that one thing we artists/composers/poets/writers can do is work to make our little corner of the world nicer.

and I believe I have referenced/mentioned that quote in several other web pages here. It fits with metals.

More cryptically, I stashed this in a text file for inclusion here:

and from my original web page:

Does this help me deal with the visceral awfulness of Trump? Maybe. I hope so. Something has to. See, I'm even bringinng it up here. It's a horrible part of life right now.

and I'll be blamed if I can find that "original web page" I reference. The statement is surely true, though.
