December 12 - Cold Enough To...

Chill, tule-foggy day, with the sun breaking through near the stand-in for the horizon towards evening. Harriet out and about, relating over dinner that at least the residents in the Bay were getting sunshine -- while earlier on the homefront Psalm 42 ("As the Hart Pants") is finished (16 pages total) and the next of the History Phases is videoized -- i.e.



XV. Giles Binchois (Files a Marier).  Begin the composition of Psalm 43 ("Judge Me") later.

December 11 - Tunnel at the End of the Light

Lucky 13th page of Psalm 42 ("As the Hart Pants") composed before another outing,

now down 680

all the

way to

a reduction of

100,

then west over the

San

Mateo to drop off

Michael Cooke's marvelous GAC score, followed

by

north

to

Erling

Wold's to meet about things SFCCO and Wikipedian,

completing

a

grand

circle

in

the

alternately

and

simultaneously

foggy /

fiery

halflight,

murking

along

37's

panoramas

and

amusements

towards

another



History Phases video -- as XXIV. Charles Ives (Columbia the Gem of the Ocean).

Oh, and happy 102nd birthday, Elliott Carter!

December 10 - Outing and Abouting

An even dozen pages for Psalm 42 ("As the Hart Pants") thus far, and again away to

Diablo to

pick up

the monthly,

depositing

same,

swinging

back

towards the lab to record, discovering that midi files can be turned into audio, simply by dragging into an iTunes playlist and going through the "Create MP3 Version" routine -- a revelation!

Return

in pilars

of

clouds

and

fire,

knifing

through

the

back

roads,

leaping

to

produce

video

for

History Phases: 



XIV. Italian Monophony (Saltarello).
