Well, catholicism had three popes at the same time at one point, but otherwise we're in agreement.

The thing I love about Nina Simone is that she will sing until within an inch of losing control, her voice occasionally cracks and she veers off pitch, but I believe every. single. word. she sings. Unlike, say, Ella Fitzgerald, who is always in complete control. Perfect, but never interests me much.

I have a vivid memory from watching Shrek on the premiere, and groaning when Hallelujah came on. Had the song already been used in TV series at that point, or did that come later? You couldn't throw a rock and not hit that song for a few years there.

First post to Blue Sky... is a black sky. Figures. :P

The Bandcamp randomiser looks great, already stumbled across some gems that I'd never have found otherwise!
I'll just leave this here: void.bandcamp.com/album/refrac...

Thank you so much! No guitar in this, I don't even own an ebow. :P I tinkered around with a rhodes-like preset one day, which became the starting point. After that, it was just a matter of choosing textures and layer them around the rhodes, much like a sculptor would add layers to a skeleton.

Lol, "You're a librarian? How lucky! I wish I could read all day!"
"...yeah. Me too."

Does anyone still really believe this, though?

Thank you! I am, in fact, proud - although I'll only grudgingly admit to it. :P

Conversely, Tove Jansson's Gollum is... confusing. :P

Unlike many others here, I am not a band, nor is this a "song"... but I've been wanting to write long-but-interesting, changing, atmospheric ambient music for as long as I remember, and on this track, I kinda... did it.
