Hey there everybody. Firstly, I want to apologize for the extremely long delay. Once I started working again, my previous life ceased to exist, which meant no spare time to blog, or write, or well, do much of anything. So, yeah, sorry guys.
My girlfriend and I attended the opening night performance of Das Rheingold at the LA Opera last weekend, and it reignited the fire within me to get back to work. Just hearing the prelude is enough to stir all sorts of emotions, and this time, it really gave me a kick in the ass. The opera's themes also started to connect with me and with the story I had been working on: myth, exerting control over one's life, etc. It was a rejuvinating experience that will hopefully lead to more writing, and more blog posts.
Shortly after the opera, I sat and made a playlist that sort of laid out the emotional soundtrack that I had in mind for "Chupacabra." Here it is:
Burial- "Arcangel"
Tim Hecker- "Dungeoneering"
The Twilight Singers-"Hyperballad"
Gyorgy Ligeti- "Lux Aeterna"
Fleet Foxes- "Ragged Wood"
Animal Collective- "In The Flowers"
Aidan Baker and Time Hecker- "Dream of the Nightmare"
Roy Orbison- "Crying"
Arvo Part-"Festina lente for String Orchestra"
Sigur Ros-"Untitled 1"
Krzysztof Penderekci- "The Dream of Jacob"
Time Hecker- "Blood Rainbow"
Radiohead- "Arpeggi"
Richard Wagner-"The Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla" from Das Rheingold
I'll see if there's a way I can gather all this goodness onto one playlist. If not, go to Amazon/iTunes/illicit download site of your choice to check out these jams.
