very much like the mix you've got here - the electronics the vocal samples the acoustic elements, in fact I think it's a Revolution No. 9 for the 21 century

@douglasmseidel: aha, this is what I guessed the piece was about. You did it very well Douglas!

it has a very odd, sophicsticated folksy quality...

this seems to be an analogy of attempted but thwarted communication...

@C.V. Gates: thank you very much. there was something about the kids playing songs they memorized, and this guy who could not remember big chunks of the outside world.

@The Ordinary: thank you - i also like that piano piece, it's one of those that seems to be making a point, but i can't figure out what it is exactly.

Sometimes on Soundcloud there are tracks so unique, that I just don't know how to describe them. This is one. So powerful, real and imaginary at the same time. In an endless stream of random events that go by without leaving a trace, you've created an odd and moving piece.

@douglasmseidel: True! Human voices are very strong, and repeating rapidly becomes tiring. But it works here. Very nice work indeed!

This chord progression tugs at the heart, especially as an expansion of the recital. And the conversation is mysterious. I had envisioned it taking place at a political function until reading your comment about it. Beautiful piece.

As a piano teacher, I can readily say I've never enjoyed hearing this piano piece more than now! Overall, I love the innocent derangement here.

@Edward Stumpp: This was a guy in a waiting room - and it seemed like he was not able to connect to his memory very well. he didn't really know where or why the nurse was taking him somewhere.and he had trouble expressing things with words. i felt very strongly for him - it seems so fragile, to have a life, but then not remember things, and not be able to say things that are in your head.

@Donnie Bugden: the oscillators are hardware, but sometimes i record them onto a tape machine, and fiddle with and make layers.

I would like to know the contexts in which the sample was taken. It works really well in this piece, my curiosity grew as the piece did. Great job!
