Next, if you need to catch up, some quick explanatory flashbacks about my series The Seasons:
- I write one short bit of music for each day in the calendar.
- I try to actually write these on the day itself.
- I separate all the bits of music with long periods of silence.
- I start a new "season" on every solstice or equinox.
- As each season is completed I post it to Mixed Meters
- Links to each season can be found on The Seasons page.
- Many seasons have Garbage Day Periodicity, sometimes audibly, other times not.
- Today, December 21, 2013, is yet another Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
- Later today I will begin composing a new "season", Winter 2013.
- Before that, however, I'm posting the newly completed season Autumn 2013.
- Autumn 2013 is my eighth season, my second Autumn, the end of the second year.
- I will post the short version of Autumn 2013 in a few weeks. That's like real music.
- Autumn 2013 uses piano sounds and hand drumming sounds (both with much stereo antiphony) plus lots of filter sweeping.
- Listen to one season all by itself. I find this good when I need to concentrate on something else.
- Listen more than one season simultaneously. Go here, quickly click on a few different "listen" links.
- Listen to one or more seasons simultaneously with any other music. Expect the unexpected.
- Please leave a message if you know a good program which plays multiple audio streams at the same time.
- There are too many Winter Solstice Holidays. A little consolidation would be nice.
- There is no war on Christmas except the one started by the Christians themselves.
- Sunlight at this time of year is precious for someone like me who stays awake all night.
