Yes, I'm going to finally update this monster. Two or three years behind. I've been busy. Changing careers, ect. Now looking for gigs, ect. On with the show!
Overall theme is a dinner party with an assortment of characters from literary works.
Arrival. Short piece, (4:31). Distorted guitar. I was going for the feeling Popul Vuh got in "Nosferatu" when the carriage arrives at the castle.
Ayesha. (15:36). Guitar loop, describing the young woman in "The Satanic Verses."
Conger. (7:42). A character from Phillip K. Dick's story "The Skull". I consider this to be the best time travel story ever written. A very laid back piece.
Zira. (23:04). The ape scientist in "The Planet of the Apes." Performed on bass guitar.
Billy Pilgrim. (49:32). The main character in Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five". A lovely theme for a wonderful book.
Rheya. (7:12). More bass guitar. The wife that appears in "Solaris".
Bartleby. (38:17). Herman Melville's short story " Bartleby, the Scrivener". Withdrawn and isolated.
Margaret Walton Saville. (54:11). The sister of Robert Walton, of course. From "Frankenstein". As close to the emotions of the letters I could come.
Moon-Watcher. (42:53). The ape in " 2001: A Space Odyssey". More on the Zira-based bass theme.
The Round Table. (1:20:15). A very long, quite circle of fifths. The dinner music for this precarious group. I hope to redo this theme sometime in the future.
