No movie review this week, dear readers. While I have quite a few posts scheduled, I was a bit short on time and haven’t watched anything worth reviewing lately, so I figured I’d do something a bit different today.
I was visiting Dr. Girlfriend this weekend, and for some reason, I started to tell her excitedly about the video that got me into history in a major way, Sid Meier’s Colonization.
Yours portly released a new album recently, Heptadic Structure. It’s an exploration of pieces in 7/4, 7/8, and 7/16 time. Each piece is twenty-one written measures, for a total of 149 measures across the seven pieces. Math is fun!
You can listen to and/or purchase the album at the following links:
However, I’m deviating my plan to feature the tracks from that album for (at least) one week, because I am super excited about another album I have coming on Friday, 2 August 2024. It’s called White Boy Summer, and while there are quite a few of my more experimental and modern classical pieces on the release, the title track is a straight-up banger—so much so that I wanted to feature it in today’s edition of Open Mic Adventures.
