piano sonata #2

WEDNESDAY 5 DECEMBER 2012

Hello & someone close to home said that my writings on my Bandcamp page are better than my music and I ought to become a writer. Isn't that typical - when I did blogs full of my fascinating ravings no one ever visited them and people would come up to me as I tried to hide at the back of small concerts and they'd say nice things about terrible music I'd made five years ago but never anything nice about something brilliant I'd written 5 hours ago.

But this is maybe the way to do things. You can't charge at the world head-on. You always have to do things a bit sidelong and cunning. Twenty times more people come to these pages than ever play/download anything. This is the biggest audience my rantings have ever had. As for the music - I love this piece lots though I don't envy anyone who will one day hear it. I'd spent an hour trying to make something really pretty on the piano.

And England in winter is not good for inspiring prettiness. So I grabbed a few hard notes and here it is - another of those pieces of music where it is a comfort to know it exists. And maybe no more. I can't stop playing it. It is exactly what the nurse ordered. I've spent a couple of hours on Bandcamp today looking for something like this and I found nothing so again had to DIY.

I also look for the writings of people who are alive and talk like real human beings - not the robotic crap about software and boring theories - believe me, if you want to stay alive in this world longer than a year you have to let go and not care and forget about semi-colons and you have to starkly strike the piano five times and make it resonate for half an hour & that's much better than all the clever guff about why some live droning noise in Indonesia isn't as boring as it sounds.
