MOLLY PLANET: November 2012

RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Friday, November 16, 2012. Infusion - songs, sounds and tea. Sound world opened up, the palette of sounds i want to communicate with has expanded, and the format of singing songs one after the other no longer seemed to sit right with me. I also wanted the experience of playing music to be new and different for me, and as fresh for me as it would be for anyone watching. The term i came found that most closely resembles what it means for me at the moment ...

MOLLY PLANET: January 2012

RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Saturday, January 14, 2012. Magnet Bay Farm is about fifteen minutes drive from Little River in Banks Peninsula, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I have stayed there three times in the last nine months and have grown to love the place. My initial two visits were in order to rehearse for a national tour with the show Voices of our Ancestors. The next time we visited, I was able to go for the walk - and certainly wasn't disappointed! Mahina kicking a wee drum. Over ...

RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. WhEn RoSalInd mAde heR sTory intO a hOuSe. I met Rosalind at a songwriting workshop I held at the Paekākāriki Railway Station. She was one of those people who professed to not being particularly musical, but like the other students on the course, she was open to a new experience. Together we supported one another, told stories, laughed, played and created songs. Rosalind had a flair for rhythm and tone. This small poem trans...

MOLLY PLANET: February 2013

RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Water, water, water. Winneman Wintu, North America. I am lucky enough to be involved in a composition project with film-maker/playwright. Marian Evans ( http:/ wellywoodwoman.blogspot.co.nz/. In which the poems of Muriel Rukeyser are. To be set to music. I was struck by the reverse of this more so - hearing the story of how the Ohinemuri was basically a dumping ground for sewerage and toxic waste and needed for a system of reg...

RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Tuesday, April 16, 2013. ScOtt WaLkEr meet MuRieL RukEyseR. This will definitely need to be a series when looking at possible musical influences on the Muriel compositional process, but for now I want to focus on what was simultaneously greeting me at the same time as the Muriel project - and that was Scott Walker's album Bish Bosch. Whilst driving home from teaching, I knew I had to have it. I've never been good at describing music in a critical way - ...

Someone's gotta say it.no that's not the case actually - just I've gotta say it. You can listen to it here. I could relate to a lot in this interview except for the fact that I haven't reached any great pinnacle by the world's standards and certainly not any that resided in the grandeur of my mind. I am, basically a failed musician. I have just finished reading this book - among many...

MOLLY PLANET: March 2012
http://christine-white.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
RAW FOOD - RAW SOUND [discoveries and experiments]. Friday, March 9, 2012. I have recently found and joined the site ImprovFriday. Which sets weekly improvisational tasks - good for me as I love the intuitive aspect of composing so any chance to sharpen this aspect is all good with me. Here is my first entry - the theme was Variations. So i chose the song sketch powderpuff. And set about playing to create a variation sketch. This is what came out:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Beautiful to look at - yummy to eat.raw sushi.the main difference being the rice is parsnip. put it through a food processor and in some instances add some flavouring and then roll away as per usual. The workbench is a homemade instrument work-in-progress based on Eric Leonardson's Springboard. Here is a demo recording of the workbench:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
