I wonder if the Snow loves the trees and fields
that it kisses them so gently?❄️
and then it covers them up snug - you know
with a white quilt
and perhaps it says
"go to sleep darlings 'til the summer comes again"
- Lewis Carroll❄️

I've got a few of Terry's releases already, from lovely solo piano work to phantasmagorical synthonies. (I just made up that word up to describe them) like Apocalypse Suite.

I named this track "Weather Forecast" cuz I thought the rhythm had a "Muppet News Flash" kinda vibe.
📺
It's the repetitive tatataTa-tata riff on xylo/strings done up all quartal/quintal😐 + brass melody🎺
add timpani
and voila! Update at 10!

Gràcies per aquesta bonica ressenya de Snow Globe! (via Bandcamp)
❄️🔮❄️
En un estany glaçat,
una patinadora escriu el seu nom
amb traços d’escuma freda;
i, a la muntanya, un esquiador
cau del cel en una pols blanca
com si fos un desig que es precipita.

The main reason I love the Horniman museum is its collection of musical instruments, particularly wind instruments, which is one of the best in the country.
Some highlights of today’s visit.
