Magic music in my mind.
I've got magic on the brain. Eating good food while listening to the beginning of Bartok's made me think of Semuta music.
I need to delve deeper into this wondrous world that I'm studying at school, but for some reason tend to leave there.
I mean, I'm trying to make a living writing music, but I'm hardly putting any notes on a page.
The second comic here galvanized me to actually do something today instead of just reading more webcomics.
And while this is more pointed at wolven, all others are welcome to listen in.
Have you read Damiano or its sequels? They talk of magic, music, and deities; all things I believe you have an interest in.
I highly recommend this bit of what I have termed "historical fantasy fiction," since it is thoroughly researched, and assumes a working system of magic during the Avignon papacy and a plague. It also runs generationally, focusing on a different main character in each of the three books, while maintaining a cast of main characters who pass through all three.
The knowledge of renaissance music is impressive too. I have not played a lute, but a guitar was some similarity. I can almost feel one under my fingers as I read the prose.
And have you heard of Aleksandr Scriabin?
Most notably, his last work (unfinished) was to end the world upon its completion and performance. Although, apparently, this would be a happy end, not a terrible one.
Anyway, a few more thoughts on the power of music later. Now I have to compose love songs.
