Thank you for this. I saw this on TCM last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Oddly enough while watching I had the feeling that I was watching something magnificent.
"20 years ago my local cinema showed 'The General', it got a much bigger audience than they expected as this is only a small town, people came from 30-40 miles away to see it. It went down wonderfully, but, they never repeated the experience. Silent movies are still incredibly popular and I'm just glad we have the access to them that we have now as it was difficult to see anything other than Charlie Chaplin and oddly, Ben Turpin movies on TV when I was a child.
Your exploration of sarcophagi reminded me of Elizabeth Holmes who is now being tried in Federal Court for fraud. Her box was called "the Edison." She attempted to convince others that it was a revolution in diagnostic testing. Unfortunately, the box ate and destroyed the blood samples inserted into it and produced hopelessly inaccurate test results that harmed thousands of people.
Nice work. Lately I have been suspending various-sized stainless steel soup pots on ropes from drum stands. With different quantities of water in each pot, I gently strike the bottoms of the pots with soft timpani mallets and brush sticks for drums, all the while using a large tunable frame drum (on the floor below) as my root or basement. The creative possibilities of using ordinary household objects to create hypnotic-enchanting soundscapes is truly endless. The mechanical drones you have created here accompanied by other appliances reminded me of medieval chants.
I never understood the genesis of that term before. The music had the gravitas needed to explain a term derived from a custom that sometimes killed spectators.
Wow! My husband worked in NYC for decades,& I never knew why it was called Gotham......and certainly didn't know what the nickname meant. Goat-land! Yikes! I will try to catch up. Up in a little behind because my husband's phone died in mine was in really bad shape and when we switch them over which the day's ask for new password then let me in Google on my computer so it's been technologically challenging,but I am catching up .
A year in review. Glad your kids can go back safely. I hope they want to go back. When this started, folks didn't like the changes......then got used to some of them. Not sitting in a real desk, weekday bike rides mid-day....getting back to regular schedule is going to be hard on some. Wishing your family the best.
