Sounds of a commute!

[smileytypepers.livejournal.com]

I did my usual routine today of traveling from Davis Square to Kendall via good ole red, when I saw something in this morning's Metro that may be of interest to my fellow Davis Square inhabitants. Apparently, a student from Tufts who has taken the train from Davis to Park Street was inspired and made a musical composition based on sounds of the commute (i.e. the noises that the train makes)  lasting 17 minutes - the exact length of the trip. The piece is called "Inbound" and it's part of program tonight called "Longitude" at Pickman Hall at Longy School of Music. It's at 8pm, and it's free! Maybe I'll see some there!

I can't be there, but that does sound interesting. It reminds me of the kind of thing my favourite band does occasionally with environmental noise. Very awesome.

Oh, that's coooooooool. *incredible music nerd* I may have to go. I just may.

I assume the string section makes all kinds of horrible screeching noises about 7 minutes in?

Oh, and does it stop for no apparent reason at random intervals?

I know! I yoinked it from some random unsuspecting lj-er. I felt bad... but only for a little while. :-P

LOL. You know, I thought of that this morning, and am praying that's not the case.

[smileytypepers.livejournal.com]

I KNOW that's spelled wrong. :(

Fermata. ;-)

DAMN IT!

(I used to get The Music Stand sent to my house, and they had basically your icon as one of the shirts you could buy.)

Ah. Theatre here, but I used to sing in high school and play the flute in junior high.

See, we should all get together and make a performing troupe. :-P

Wow, so I totally don't even remember saying that. No more commenting after 11pm for libberding!

It's okay; I've had those moments as well. ^_^
