Greetings from the eve of the U.S. presidential debate in all its dumpster-fire glory. Hope you’re hanging in there. Strange times call for creative measures, so I’m doing Noise #164 / Podcast #7 a little differently. What you’re about to hear is me live-jamming part of the debate—in other words, composing piano music as a real-time reaction to what happened, as it happened. Kind of like old-time cinema musicians playing along to silent horror films. Except the monster on screen is real. As always, I didn’t know what I was going to play until I played it. But given the intensity of tonight’s creative fuel, I knew it was going to be… interesting. I started to record when the candidates were talking about Medicare and ended after they finished with abortion. Because honestly, that was enough.
