Signature of Recorded Time

This is a blog, updated periodically, where I will be talking about music - in particular the "why". (It may have some digression into photography!)

Silence and stillness

Silence and stillness

Silence – what rôle does that play in music, then?

As well as music I have a passion for photography. Here is where I will, on occasion, talk further.

Lyrics? When do they work?

Lyrics? When do they work?

"Hmmm. I've got some words here, no?"

Lyrics? Who Needs 'em!?!

Lyrics? Who Needs 'em!?!

What, if anything, is the importance of lyrics?

“Please! No talking while we listen!”

“Please! No talking while we listen!”

Is it necessary to be utterly silent listening to music?

"Surprise, surprise!"

"Surprise, surprise!"

That moment when a piece of music envelops you.

For my first blog article I'd like to explain why someone might want to talk about music.

About Me
I was raised with lots of music in the house. (Think the first record I heard might have been a Tommy Steele 78 disc - or perhaps Wilfred Pickles doing "Peter and the Wolf"!) As I grew up, Mum and Dad would bring home new records - Dvorak and Beethoven, the Beatles and Dylan. I learned to play music at school and at home.

Music? It is a strong part of my life.

Oh. Plus I do wander about with a camera. On occasion I will post a few of those pictures and briefly talk about them.
