Presence of their absence. MP3 music By P Wharton
Presence of their absence is a meandering process of discord and harmony. Grief adrift time if you like. And all stems from the book The Wheel of Mourning by Dorothea Stockmar, German writer and artist.
The pendulum Tempo is set at 60 and runs for just over seven minutes. I’d hope that I have left enough scope for others to occupy it with their own musical improvisations, thoughts and imagery of the given subject. 108 bars. Written on StaffPad for iPad. Music score on request.
Particular attention has been made to the soundscape of instruments subtly resonating in the background of this piece. And
either headphones or a stereo system may better convey this. Or add more bass and less treble as the reverb is cold and harsh.
