Song Information:
A simple drawn out piece using four of my favorite EXSP24 synths.
It's still a challenge for me to keep the vocal synths under control -- they have a tendency to hiss and beat, even after my modest (but evolving) bag of tricks has been applied. They haven't been completely reined in here, but I gave it a shot. Suggestions appreciated.
The idea of the golden bird is taken from "Of Mere Being" by Wallace Stevens.
"The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze decor,
"A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.
"You know then that it is not the reason
That makes us happy or unhappy.
The bird sings. Its feathers shine.
"The palm stands on the edge of space.
The wind moves slowly in the branches.
The bird's fire-fangled feathers dangle down."
