(16:30) Happy Solstice. When I was getting today's picture from the Internet, it was accompanied by discussions of what it "means", if you see faces or a vase. As a symbol of solstice, the two faces pointed in opposite directions are good enough, but the additional commentary, seeking meaning in the merest accident of light and dark, lends the image a poignancy we find in our questions at this time of year- drawn as we are through the needle's eye of the shortest, darkest day.
This week's piece is an old-fashioned audio collage incorporating Samuel Beckett's "Text For Nothing" with whatever seemed appropriate. It was originally made four years ago, when I was doing podcasts on this site, and has been brought back by popular demand-- mainly, mine!
It's kind of an inconclusive, rambling piece, like the text at its core. The other bit I was looking at for today was a lot shorter and snappier; I'm thinking that might be the general rule here, if we can. But these longer collages are also part of the audio scene, and will be popping up from time to time.
