Image from Alex ShapiroAt one point, after I changed gears
in just one afternoon
from a piano and electronics piece
to a string, woodwind and piano sextet
to a bass flute and electronics work
to a symphonic wind band piece
to a solo piano piece
and back again
to another electroacoustic band piece,
I thought it was possible
that my head would finally explode,
gushing out a whole lot of notes
onto the carpet and turning it
from shades of beige and brown
to a bunch of slightly singed black dots
strewn everywhere.
Not a pretty sight.
Luckily, my skull withstood
this intensive ramming from within,
and managed to remain intact.
This time.
