The
true sign of a piece of music that not only really affects you but also you
really enjoy is often in the notes I take when reviewing it, and yes I have an
actual notebook I take notes in for every cassette that I review. As I read back the notes from this cassette
though, and remember how it sounded, I can’t help but think that many of the
sentence fragments I scribbled down about this could be revised and arranged to
form a poem.
Side
A begins with some shrieking noises, birds chirping and other animal noises before
the synth doom moves in and takes on the rattling of electric guitars. There are high pitched beeps, and then the
Atari 2600 sound of Return of the Jedi leads to shaking.
On
the flip side, I have the note already written in verse that:
“Barking
dogs give way to violins”
If
that could not be part of a poem than I suggest you dig up Bukowski so he can
slap you in the face. We go from
musical glasses to the sound of Big Ben.
There are female spoken words and we end on something between Kill Bill
and A Clockwork Orange.
Though
I put most of that into sort of sentences and sort of paragraphs, they could be
easily pulled apart and arranged as a poem, which I think someone should maybe
do, but hey, why not listen to this cassette by Carine Masutti and write your
own poetry.
