Listen to the Layered Textures Around You, Imagine Each Sound As An Instrument
The Gulf of Mexico, Dec 14, 2018, 4:03 pm (in a chaotic environment)
Action notes: Toddler crying; something high pitched and wind — piccolo? Rumble of boat; the speed of cymbals, but much deeper and lower. Radio playing contemporary pop; a choir of strings. Voices of humans negotiating something; horns coming in. Sounds from the weight room; a whoosh-swoosh, like the sound of those old-fashioned blowing devices for the fireplace (what are they called?). I imagine them all together. My very own imaginary band.
Action constraints: Had to focus and carve out private space in the midst of the flurry around me, in a public space on the boat near the gym.
