First [1988 - 2018 - 2021]

The world sped up, and I grew old. The rapid pace had long since taken hold of me. My increasing slowness made nearly everything more and more tiring. Memories of the "good old days," which, honestly, weren't always so good, resurfaced when I started making music again after 30 years.

Consequently, my first musical ideas were from the past. I wanted to resume where I had left off. Everything my fingers played on the keyboard felt out of place in today's world. Everything the computer produced sounded like it was from that era, but I enjoyed it, and I continued. There was more to explore.

Eventually, 41 minutes of music were completed. Not individual parts or songs, but a continuous sequence of sounds and tones, a complete piece. Initially, I hesitated to introduce my music to the present day, but now I'm curious:

Would anyone still find or make time to listen to music longer than 3 minutes these days? With headphones, rather than through a tinny cell phone speaker? To listen attentively, relax, and be transported? To another world? To my musical world, which transforms when it reaches unfamiliar ears and the minds behind them?

I hope and wish that they would.

I would be delighted to hear what films, emotions, memories, or images my 41 minutes evoked.
