King Crimson: Industry

One listen for this one. Tried to switch off whilst I listened. Didn’t quite work, but I feel the rigidity of the writing represents the song quite well. King Crimson’s “Industry” is from Three of a Perfect Pair. I hope … Continue reading →

King Crimson: Requiem

One listen. At some point early on I realised I was writing in a particular way that I’d done before and I’m not happy with it as, whilst I’ve gotten across an idea of the song quite well, what I … Continue reading →

King Crimson: The Howler

One listen. Just went into it and spent most of the time feeling like I was trying to catch up. I like what came forward, however. Not sure how well it captures the song, but it does get across something … Continue reading →

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

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

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 →

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

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

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

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

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 →
