A few thoughts from Stevie Wonder and Take 6. 😎 Alvin Chea & co, FTW!

The 2nd track on their 8th album, Bounce, Released October 8, 2002 YouTube video: https://lnkd.in/eewCnUxw Lyric: Strange, everybody's feeling strange Never gonna be the same Makes you wonder how the world keeps turning Life, learning how to live my life Learning how to pick my fights

This is a new song. It will likely be the title track for the next record. I have decided to experiment with different percussion and guitar styles. I'm introducing a wah pedal into the mix. These are stylistic choices I would have never made a few years ago. There's nothing new here in terms of using 1970s influences in modern music, but everybody's take is going to be different. Lyrics and titles for the songs I write can vary. They can be dense or sparse, depending on what a melody needs. From verbally packed, to a single sentence repeated throughout the whole song. Everything is instinctual. In the old days, I would overthink things to death. Now I trust myself, and try to honor my initial feelings about what I'm doing if they feel correct. This song is one of the sparer ones, but I try to make each phrase mean is much is possible in conjunction with one another. The title phrase probably was me having a moment of reflection on the finite amount of time I have left to accomplish what matters to me. I tried, in the song to look backwards, forwards, and describe the now. For some reason it felt right to let these phrases take up a lot of space in between each other. As you're listening to the music, they have time to drift from one thought to the next. It's not linear, but each of these snippets are about the perception of time. This is stuff that makes sense only after a life of experiences and feelings. It's a shorthand for deep thoughts. THis ENds Whatever happened to the mayor of Dogtown? Let’s look at a clip You hear everything but me This ends This ends This ends I’m 59, but I read it a 65-year-old level Let’s look at a clip You hear everything but me This ends This ends This ends We’re on Twilight zone time now You hear everything but me You hear everything but me https://lnkd.in/dy-6RABS

1:59 By Andy Sankey 1:59 is a piece of work created over 18 months, it is a combination of un-edited soundscape recordings including bird song, water, and wind with ambient sound. The aim of this work is to capture truly random sounds of nature without any other industrial noise or interference and blending electronic randomly generated sounds to harmonically complement the soundscape. The track is 1 hour and 59 minutes long, each audio track has been recorded independently, the levels of each track has been balanced to achieve a calm, tranquil sonic experience. There are no post-production effects added or automation of the mix, the sounds are consistent and as they were recorded. #music #composition #soundscape #creativearts https://lnkd.in/e6ZtUKjs

I am still thinking about her story! Check out the latest episode of "Govs on the Go: Alumni Edition" to hear details.

My latest musical contribution: "Theme for Another Time." I needed to do this for some critical life-related reasons. I thrive on making themes for film and TV sync. Usually, it's just one iteration. Creating a bunch is really another story, and so important with scoring. I do love movie themes more than just about anything. A great theme defines a film and forever creates a time-stamp and ear-worm that is forever locked to the movie. Happy New Year to all! https://lnkd.in/gUmZdDee also: https://lnkd.in/gzG3GZDv

“Slow down, you move too fast”— a summer anthem. ⚫️Why do we grow programming before infrastructure? Or funding? ⚫️How come our big ideas are easier to come by than the culture required to ground it? ⚫️Why do we expand more naturally than we contract? (Boards too!) Spend some time journaling. Listen to music. Get your reflective groove on. Reflection. Intention. Strategy. Action. It’s a cycle. It’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint. Endurance matters. Slow down, you’re moving to fast. No need to bypass the moment. Make it last. https://lnkd.in/g4rR6xbh

Regarding last night's #PresidentialDebate2024, I believe this is an ideal moment to share one of my favourite videos - #LaurieAnderson's 2010 "Another Day in America." Anderson, a pioneer in experimenting with technology, used a vocoder to make her spoken or sung words sound as if they are also being sung by an instrument, creating an eerie 'voice of authority'. The closing question in the clip, "How do we begin again?" resonates with prescience and foreboding, suggesting that the American Dream is swiftly fading for many. It's truly worth a listen. Anderson's #creative work, often described as #avantgarde, represents cerebral rock at its finest. A human kaleidoscope of thought-provoking ideas and concepts. The world desperately needs more artists like Anderson. My favourite quote from her is: Art is about paying attention. And we need to pay extra special attention to events in the months and years ahead. #art #music #usa #concepts #creativity #prescience
