Back in the mid-aughts, I had a music blog for a year. Finding new (i.e. "fresh") music that I liked turned out to be a lot of work, so I stopped. Every so often I get the itch to write about music. But where? So I created this as a place to write as well as post my old blog entries.

Stan Ridgway & Pietra Wexstun - Mark Ryden: Blood
I have movie soundtracks, TV show soundtracks, original cast recordings,
a radio show soundtrack, and LPs that have dialog from movies and TV
shows (there was an era before you could rent and buy videos for your
home, you know).
Now, with
Mark Ryden: Blood,
I have the soundtrack to an art show.
Stan Ridgway
&
Pietra Wexstun
have created music to go with each of
the paintings
for a 2003 installation of
Mark Ryden's works at
the Earl McGrath Gallery
in New York.
It has a real soundtrack feel to it, too, rather than just being a
collection of fluffy ambient tracks.
The pieces seem to work well with the paintings,
though to get the full experience one probably needed to actually be
at the gallery.
However, the music does stand on its own, as
Rose
and
Entrance
demonstrate.
