Lens-Artists Challenge #356 – Quiet Hours
What are quiet hours? Among many things, this can mean an empty space. It can be a sense of stillness; a lack of action; an absence of presence within a frame. Quiet hours are often associated with the time before … Continue reading

A Poem About Ceilings and the Sky
Not quite sure what this is about, other than on the surface. I wanted to write about the passage of time and that kind of came through, but also not. Anyway, this could be much better if I worked on … Continue reading
These New Puritans: Organ Eternal
One listen. Just threw myself in, got it done. In, out and the below is the result. Not sure what it’s saying. It describes the song well enough. Feels like there’s much room for more. These New Puritans’ “Organ Eternal” … Continue reading

Yoshino Aoki: Bitter Air
One listen for this one. Early on into this I felt unsure as to what I could write. This is a piece of music that effectively creates atmosphere through minimalism and I don’t think I was able to switch off … Continue reading

A Poem About a Regular Evening
This isn’t great. I had an idea but I didn’t go with it for some reason. The idea was mainly trying to present a regular evening as being odd, or at least things becoming odd. Should’ve gone for that instead … Continue reading
Yoshitaka Hirota: Prelude~ ~ Advertise I
This was written over one listen. I wrote quickly and tried to capture a sense of the otherwordliness that the song sort of gets across, but I don’t think I did a good job. Yoshitaka Hirota’s (弘田佳孝) “Prelude~ ~ Advertise … Continue reading
