King Crimson: Nuages (That Which Passes, Passes Like Clouds)

Posted on February 4, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

One listen for this one. Just sort of went through it. I was hoping I’d get more imagery out of this, but that didn’t happen. I think this could’ve been better overall as I was thinking too much. Still, I … Continue reading →

Five-Hundred Word Challenge 1447: Specific Kind of Music

Posted on January 23, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

It’s a hot day outside and I was planning on doing some editing on my lunch break but it seems that that ship has sailed. That’s okay, however, because I’m here now. I’m writing something, but I’m thinking about things … Continue reading →

José Ramón “Bibiki” García: Iyo Echoes

Posted on January 18, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

Two listens. Short piece where it felt like I took my time. Not sure as to how well I captured the song here, but I think I captured something in it. José Ramón “Bibiki” García’s Iyo Echoes is from the soundtrack … Continue reading →

Ken Nakagawa: Corridors of the Sky

Posted on January 16, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

Alright so this one was written over one listen, but with a few restarts and some rewinds. I kept on getting interrupted in some manner when I started, mostly because I paid attention to the interruptions. Then I had to … Continue reading →

Pat Metheny Group: Last Train Home

Posted on January 15, 2025 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Queued this one up a few weeks ago, only got around to writing about it now. Laziness, maybe. Anyway, I knew that going into this I wanted to try and touch more on the imagery, and I kind … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Jahara, Land of the Garif

Posted on December 23, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I feel I’m not letting go enough and also not taking advantage of what words I know, and so what I wrote here feels quite limited to me. I think I was trying to get across an idea … Continue reading →

Yasunori Nishiki: The Coastlands

Posted on December 16, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Started this yesterday, had to stop, was going to restart, didn’t, and now I’ve done it, so it’s more like one-and-a-bit listens, but you know. This one I’m uncertain on. I think the writing is okay, but I’m … Continue reading →

Nobuo Uematsu: The Mines of Narshe

Posted on December 14, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. This is a song I’m quite familiar with, and my comfort in that familiarity may have hampered the writing a bit as instead of switching off, I wrote what I already thought, mainly. There are some parts of … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Tomb of Raithwall

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I wanted to try and pull out the “stuffiness” of the song, or rather that’s what was coming to me, but I didn’t feel right putting that forward, so I didn’t, or rather tried not to overtly state … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Abandoning Power

Posted on December 8, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say. It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final … Continue reading →
