Well, this song has taken me a LONG time to complete and I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps it's because I had a bunch of BYOV events while working on it or perhaps I have just been focusing on other things. Or maybe this particular song caused some difficulties itself for some musical or lyrical reason. I really don't know, but I do know that I am glad it is done and that you can now listen to it.
These will help you understand the multitudes:
Where did you collect these voices?
Art Interactive in Cambridge, Jim Kempner Fine Art in NYC and on the street in Harvard Square
How many people recited this poem for you?
11 women, 9 men
Can you dance to a song in 11/8?
of course - just try it...
What's your favorite kind of cloud?
cirrus
Who's your favorite dog?
Cirrus
How can the bassoon be so goofy and yet so beautiful all at the same time?
this, I do not know
Are you afraid of clouds?
no
