Cathedrals and Churches

by Grove of Whispers

about

Cathedrals and Churches was performed live on stillstream.com the afternoon of November 9, 2013. Done using midi controller, Linux and personal field recordings. Music fashioned using the buddhalizer --a virtual extension of my imagination. Completely improvised and unplanned, I had intended to test changes made to my gear. People seemed to like it, and I like it too. I hope you do as well.

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease. Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings, while incense is ever flowing from the balsam bells and leaves. No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself."

--John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra (1911), 24 July 1869
