Love Your Classical Music Geek

@loveinner.bsky.social

#NowSpinning Glassworks. I very, very much love the works of Minimalist composers; sometimes we just need something that cuts away the crap and just gives you the soul that’s left. Here is such a composer and such a work.

I think I got everyone's questions =] If I missed something, though, let me know!

Also, here's @andromedarainlight.bsky.social's question from Tumblr crossposted here since it was a cute idea.

Rainlight System asks: "Gryph Ins dating sim???" and Vale replies with the following: "I'm imagining Henders opening up a restaurant outside the Redwood Valley Eyrie and you select a character and get hired as his first assistant. So you're filling orders, learning to cook, and meeting all sorts of customers and suppliers and residents and trying to pick which one to flirt with. Are you interested in the shy parrotface who wants more vegan options? Maybe the owl gryphon who keeps sneaking into the store room at night to steal salted fish bars? Maybe you help a poor taiga gryphon attending the Darkfeather University who's struggling to keep up with her reading because autumn is here and her eyes are turning blue, so you make a deal with the flamingo who runs a glassworks to make her glasses so she can read during the fall semester and speaking of "fall," she ends up "falling" in love with you when she realizes how pretty you are once she can see again? And also! With her blue eyes, she can see at night, so you two hide in the store room to find the fish thief and if you didn't uncheck the polyamory setting, suddenly it's you, owl gryphon gal, and taiga gryphon university girl in a lesbian polycule. (Henders gives you a promotion and appeases the owl ego by letting her pay for salted fish bar orders at a discount that he leaves out for her at night.)"

Weekend vinyl listening time!

Philip Glass - Glassworks (1982)

It seems like you either love Philip Glass or you hate him. The repetition drives some people crazy - but the repetition and shifting patterns is what makes his work so good!

(2/2)

Page 3. 1) She's walking out of the train car, trying to look unaffected. "I mean... it's not like it's that important." 2) Walking to the next car. "It was just there to tighten the sleeves. This shirt is too big for me. Yeah, I could have picked a different size, but it would have been a different color. And I really liked that color." 3) The origami is changing shape. Grace shrugs, still trying to look unaffected. "I don't know what to tell you. I had an image to maintain, okay?" Her number is changing. 4) The origami is now shaped like a shirt. "Why am I still wearing it? Uh, cause I'm used to it, I suppose? It's my style." Her number is still changing. It's unclear if it went up or down. 5) She's looking rather blasé. "Yeah, yeah, that AND the fact that I haven't found ANY new clothes yet, for, like, 60 cars..." 6) She walks into a new car that looks like a crystal cave full of smooth-looking translucent plants and animals, like glasswork. "True conductor or not, if I ever see One-one, I'll kick him accross his car like a sock ball for that one".

Page 4. 1) She's holding her shoulders. "Tsch. This car is freezing cold." 2) The origami, unfolded, wraps itself over the tear on her right sleeve. 3) She gently bats it away, laughing. "Haha! Don't bother, it won't change anything." 4) Exploring the glassworks car. There's green-ish stalactites and stalagmites, plants with teardrop-shaped leaves and flowers, glass rabbits, glass birds, and a glass fox, all with a pink-ish inner glow contrasting the ambiant blue-green. Grace: "Too bad we can't stop here, it's really pretty..." 5) She touches the petals of one of the plants, smiling. 6) The plant instantly shatters with a loud CLING. Grace, startled: "HA? Sorry!"

Page 5. 1) Grace is now running through the car. Stalactites are falling behind her. A large crevasse is forming in the glass floor. Grace, frantically: "door door door door"- 2) She exits, her eyes enormous. 3) She looks back. The destruction stopped, but there's a lot of broken things in the glassworks car. 4) Grace, snapping, in all caps: "Why does everything break all the time?? Just for once-" "I keep ruining everything!!" 5) She sits down against the closed door, her head in her arms, upset. The origami bird seems to be asking her a question. 6) She holds the origami bird gently. "...Except you, I guess." They both look extremely small compared to the giant train. End description.

Colored glass had been around for centuries, but the Italian glassworks didn’t take off until around the 1st c. CE. Previously, blown glass was for the elite, but cast glass was cheap to make and could be repeated again and again, affordable by the masses. Romans loved colored glass.
