The piece centers on a single piercing scream and on the extension of this scream by a little girl eleven years old under the engine shed at Union Railroad Station in Los Angeles. This initial cry, which   more...only lasts a few seconds, is prolonged in time and its frequency is profoundly transformed and multiplied by the use of slow motion. This spasm of sound is the invisible container of a stretched-out time and space, a universal breath. Thus, although the picture shows the little girl to be the source of the sound, the shriek extends well beyond the contours established by her body, spreading and flowing like a dark fluid, and mingles with all the sirens in the town, with every shout and with the noises of the rising irrepressibly from below. These are mnesic images, "all centered on the theme of primitive fear of the dark, materialism and the harmful separation of body and mind" (Bill Viola)  less

This video is about violas and viola players. I am learning to play the viola myself, and the soundtrack is me playing. =)

This is the original version from 1983. Phase 1 of this project is to listen and identify what's worth keeping. Phase 2 for this project will be to edit out the male vocals and kids vocals and concentrate   more...just on "Climb Every Mountain." Phase 3 will be to add orhestral stringed instrumentation. Phase 4 will be to add an all-instrumental verse.  less

After identifying and recording the components for the remix (phase 1) editing out the really worthless bits (phase 2) I have come to the third phase where I mash up the edited song with new instrumentals.

The song, "Puff, the Magic Dragon", played by me on viola (with pictures).

a piece from Sebastiao Tapajos.
It sounds like a Paraguayan music. very beautiful.

Answering the question: "Who was your first love?"

I spoke Russian with David Oistrakh when I played with him at the San Francisco Opera House. Gerhard Samuel was the conductor.

If you haven't given much thought to who lives next door, "Disturbia" might make you think again.
