Beautiful Music - from Nerdly Origins
Wow, I came across something today that really surprised me with its unexpected beauty. I’m pretty particular about my musical tastes, and when someone start with a techy-twerpy concept and tries to build from there, I’m generally not too generous with my praise. But this guy, Jim Owen, sent this out to a musicians’ list at work. He called it a "duet for piano and windows." This was enough to make me click on the link and gave it a listen - and I was floored. It starts off in such a geeky place, but then is so thoughtful and contemplative, then spry and full of energy, then… well, I’ll let you listen for yourself: http://www.songfight.org/music/welcome_to/jimofseattle_wt.mp3
If you like it, vote for his song! It’s on a competition site, http://www.songfight.org , and I haven’t heard all of the other pieces but I think his is really the best up there. Wow.
