about

Sound and rhythm can be a burdensome distraction in my life.

If there's sound in the background, even if it's not remotely musical or targeted at me, I find it challenging to focus. So much so that, despite being a musician, I don't listen to much music; when I hear something it quite literally steals my attention.

This sounds romantic or artistic, but frankly I chalk it up as a deficiency; nobody would say that a deer caught in the headlights is exhibiting a super power.

Typically, when I do my non-music work I do so in silence. I don't listen to podcasts, music, or news. Well, that's not entirely true, my laptop fan is always humming away loudly. Even this noise, a familiar thing that ebbs and flows in volume and intensity catches my ear often. It's... never mind; there I go again, digressing, where was I?

Awhile ago I was taking a quick break from work with a new track I'd downloaded. I didn't want to stop once it was time to get back to the zone, so I left it on. To my surprise the music didn't totally intercept my work.

To some degree, yes, it still does, my mind sways with the lilting voices and my brisk typing stops from time to time when a particularly moving passage passes.

I'm not sure what was different, it just was. After a few days of that I added in other, complimentary, pieces and then more. Over a fair chunk of time I had a playlist which was built for me and accompanied me gently.

We, these songs and I, are able to coexist together, only bumping elbows intermittently from time to time like a massive scramble of strangers walking in step.

This is that.
