Hiroki Kikuta: Evening Star

Posted on August 10, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This was easy and I think it is due to my approach here which was to sort of kind of go for imagery, but closer to a narrative… sort of. It didn’t quite work but I do like the result … Continue reading →

A Poem About Wind

Posted on August 4, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

There is so much to say about wind and this is what I settled on. I could’ve written about the wind’s motion, or how it feels, or how it can be symbolic, but this is what I settled on. Didn’t … Continue reading →

Yuko Komiya: Everlasting Words

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This is another song I’ve had queued up for a while. It was fairly straightforward to write about and I think that has to do with me being familiar enough to have an idea of how the song goes, but … Continue reading →

Joe Hisaishi: Island Song

Posted on July 24, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

I wrote about this song last night and I found the result to be more lacking than usual so I decided to see if I could do better today. The result is similar but it reads better I feel. There’s … Continue reading →

Envy: Zero

Posted on June 23, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This was written over one listen but there were quite a few restarts early on. I was struggling to get the first few seconds down and that probably would’ve been easier to do had I listened to the song a … Continue reading →

Masashi Hamauzu: The Gapra Whitewood

Posted on June 8, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This ended up being over two listens but I didn’t write much for the second. After the first I felt I could write more but on the second I found myself not adding much. Oh well. I sort of remember … Continue reading →

Mark Morgan: Dream Town

Posted on June 7, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This is another one where I had an idea going. I was hoping for it to be interwoven rather than dominant, but alas. The writing here is pretty lacking I feel. I think there’s something here but I don’t capitalise … Continue reading →

Tadayoshi Makino: Village on the Sea, Moga

Posted on January 21, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

Two listens for this one. I was mostly looking to write about imagery and some of that came through, but I feel as though I forced myself too much. Tadayoshi Makino’s (牧野 忠義) “Village on the Sea, Moga” (“海上の村、モガ”) is … Continue reading →

Bill Laswell: Echo

Posted on December 29, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

This was written over one listen. I’m not sure what I was going for, but I know that I was trying to capture the song in written form. Surprising I know. This is a slow song and as such I … Continue reading →

Nobuo Uematsu: A New World

Posted on July 31, 2021 by Stupidity Hole

This one took five listens. It was a bit of a struggle to write which may have to do with being tired at the moment. Probably should’ve taken to it earlier. Nobuo Uematsu’s (植松 伸夫) “A New World” (“新しき世界”) is … Continue reading →
