The Passing Clouds Mock the Sky’s Stasis and Purity

June 26th, 2011 · 1 Comment

This piece is written for the “cloudboard,” a keyboard instrument that generates clouds; naturally, it uses the standard symbols for cloud formations. Since the instrument does not exist, the piece cannot be performed. I regret the inconvenience.

You have the first bit of the piece here.

And now might be a good time to reread Baudelaire’s “L’étranger,” from Le Spleen de Paris.
