In the evening I stepped outside to view the moon. I thought snow had surprised me, but it was the silvery light of the moon that had made the ground look so light. As I looked up, coyotes were starting a concert nearby, their many voices sounding like processed electronic sounds in an echo chamber. If I had recorded the sound, you might not believe it was created by a group of coyotes.
As suddenly as the concert started, it stopped again, and after a moment of taking it all in, I walked back inside. I’d like to tag the memory: 2009, november, cold, night, moon, silver, concert, coyote, santa fe, processed, electronics,
Beautiful short film about Louis Kahn’s Exeer Academy Library.
Some great insight into the music-biz today: lists, popular music, nothing new in the naughties (21st century), sound itself…. very interesting: Video: Paul Morley talks to Matthew Herbert And more by Paul Morley on the subject here.
On top of Cold Mountain the lone round moon
Lights the whole clear cloudless sky
Honor this priceless national treasure
Concealed in five shadows, sunk deep in the flesh.
– Hanshan
The last moon of the lunar year, the first moon of the western calendar, and the biggest full moon of the year. Are you looking?
SPACE.com — Full Moon Names for 2009 Jan. 10, 10:27 p.m. EST — Full Wolf Moon. Amid the zero cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside Indian villages. It was also known as the Old Moon or the moon after Yule. In some tribes this was the Full Snow Moon; most applied that name to the next moon. The moon will also be at perigee (its closest point to Earth) on this day, at 6:00 a.m. EST, at a distance of 222,138mi. (357,497 km.) from Earth. Very high ocean tides can be expected from the coincidence of perigee with full moon.
How about that moon last night! As I drove home around midnight, I would come around a bend thinking that the moon was a streetlight. It hung so low that I was afraid it might topple down onto Santa Fe.
