News of the passing of Kurt Vonnegut was just one of the many sad bits of information streaming my way last week. I know, he was 84, a heavy smoker and had suffered brain damage from a fall. So the news came as no big shocker. Yet, his influence on so many in my generation gives the news of his passing a special kind of sorrow.
Perhaps it was his writing about the fragility of life in this world (eg. Player Piano) or his first hand accounts of inhumanity (Slaughter House Five) - that make his influence so connected to so many generations of Americans. When I was young, reading him was a guilty pleasure. One that was validated in having sections Slaughter House Five read to my 8th grade history class or being assigned an writing assignment on Mother Night in my freshman creative writing class.
Nonetheless, I composed a track called, "And so it goes..." in honor of one of his most quoted passages. It's available on my soundclick link below.
On the technical side of things, this track was developed around the didjeridu for reason refill that I am currently working on. The entire piece was composed, mixed and mastered within Reason 3.0. Hope you will give it a listen, and even more so, I hope you will pick up one of the author's many works and give it a read. Breakfast of Champions would be a good one ;) Or perhaps you have a favorite of your own.
