I can't believe this is already issue 11! Great work as always, Matt. I love the inclusion of human voice. Looking forward to hearing this volume's denouement. :)

Beautiful orchestration and makes me think of beautiful gardens, changing through the seasons, the passage of time. Very evocative.

Love that imagery - thank you, Nick!

I'm enchanted by the layering....

There's a sense of quiet confidence, exploration, and freedom in the music.

It feels as though you've stepped into a new era in your musical journey.

Am I reading too much into this lovely piece?

Fog Chaser's avatar

Appreciate that hw - I think you're right. And no, you're not reading too much into it :)

Feels like clarity and mid afternoon light and a day/life sauntering on in its own time. Love the track and the poem.

Fog Chaser's avatar

Love that - and love seeing your writing (and performing!) in my notes feed. Appreciate you listening!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WHAT THE HECK. I just listened to the poem version and ommgggg. I cry.

Oh I so love this collaboration. There's something about different art forms working off each other that's always really moved me. Also I *love* that you scored The Elk! I know Erika and am so excited about her doc projects.

Fog Chaser's avatar

Thank you so much, Tove - I agree. I love the interplay between forms. Music and poetry can be such a magical pairing. And that's great that you know Erika! Maybe we'll see you at the premiere on 4/18?

Sadly I work weekends so I can almost never do a Friday/Saturday night event. But I’ll be cheering you on in spirit!

Perfect for this morning’s sunrise over Whychus Creek canyon.

Fog Chaser's avatar

That sounds very idyllic - I love it out that way (Sisters area?) And I'm so glad this song could accompany you!

Leanne Summers's avatar

Yes. And your music is a healing balm over the landscape.
