Wonderful.
The David Foster Wallace Audio Project
Came across this website today and just melted. If you’re at all interested in the life of D.F.W I suggest you take a look.
So. Cool.
I’ve yet to get all the way through any of David Foster Wallace’s printed work (I’m trying!), but I did get to see & hear him read once. The organizers made the mistake of having him go first; he had the whole of Royce Hall rolling in the aisles and no one after him (Alice Sebold was 2nd) had a snowball’s chance to avoid the deathly quiet of an unimpressed audience.
Got my fingers crossed the 2 stories he read might appear in the audio project. (:
I am sort of nerd who Voice Memos the shutter sound from her camera and sends it to a friend in the midst of their conversation about which dSLR he’s going to buy.
I know, again with Copland? Bear with me.
This clip is from “Hoe Down” in the Rodeo suite (again…get. it.).
The first 9 seconds gives you the…pattern¹ (twice, actually) that interests me here. Around 9”, you get it with a winds I’m having trouble placing, but it’s the 12” mark that begins my favorite 5 seconds in the entire suite. I think it’s the only bit of fiddle² solo in “Rodeo” and I love it.
¹ My music vocabulary is a work in progress.
² Given the Copland-context, it seemed appropriate. (:
