Novadic Song in 7+ Parts

Dearly beloved,

Please find attached this novadic song for voice, guitar, subway train, whistle, siren, drunk girls, wind, silence, etc. Free to download here; encouraged to play in any order:

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s223//sh/b15eee1a-521b-4b6c-9490-fd70f4befaf8/08774e0860b39ae6fa9e67adc42f13a8

This was recorded from 2:30-3:40am on a pocket-sized hotness while finding my way from a shabbat dinner in Queens to a hot couch in Harlem, using a borrowed guitar, stealing melodies from singers I love (e.g. Calamity & the Owl) and words from the subway walls (do not pull the emergency cord, Emergency Workers...).

Excerpted Lyrics:
Wacky guitar...wacky guitar...oh no...oh no ooOOooOOooooo...and I wonder why the song is outside...We've got nothing left to do but play music on an empty subway platform...and o wonder why, the rails are electrified, why the floors all have their lights on (2x)...inside our minds, inside the heart, inside the hope of being One...and don't you wonder why the stars all healed inside, its not like were the last ones to consider the rain upon the sun...A Pyramid of muskets; a Teepee of guns...And don't you wonder why the lights are left on all night long...[whistles like clock chimes finding their own time]...and I wonder why, and I wonder why, and I wonder why, this song is outside. Ohhhhhhh ohhhh ooOOOooooooOOoo...

Way to go, Ale! I can't read everything but I do like the idea that the appearance of an analog object in digital time is what people need to awaken their poetic sensibilities.

SITE Santa Fe lies on the edge of town by the railroad tracks, at a welcome distance from the schlock art malls of Canyon Road and the tourist-friendly museums in the town center.  It’s a relief to enter a white box environment and discover some challenging art. As the title of the current exhibition suggests, Time-Lapse showcases pieces that either address the subjective experience of time or rely expressly on the passage of time to achieve full realization. Works accrue gradually, offering visitors a unique viewing experience every day, if not every minute. Despite the variety of media employed and the evolving nature of the work, many of these individual pieces gather in force to represent some of the paradoxical concerns of our collective human existence.   
...
Time-Lapse achieves its goal of deconstructing the notion of artwork as static and immutable. Along the way, it highlights how some thoughtful artists search for an understanding of global forces while others elect to deal with the mundane physical and emotional needs that shape daily life. Still other artists investigate the elastic and subjective nature of time, asking the viewer to participate in the exploration. The work on view here is revealing, both in its methods and in its conclusions about humanity, individual, and universal.

[INSTRUCTIONS]: Over the next few days I'll be correcting/modifying the following field scan, editing for content, grammar, typos, all the usual imperfection crap, and revisioning, continuing the linking process, etc. Initially, a small team of collaborators will be helping, reviewing, critiquing, etc. These include Chris Moylan, Jez Bold, Alex and a few others. The meta--text we're going to think of as a wireframe, an armature, a skeleton, a trunk (as in, of a tree)... that resolves with time. [Stopping here for tonight - PJM/6-27-2012]
