Another Creativity Challenge That Manages To Save Me From Boredom While Waiting in an Office

Me and a friend of mine are doing a 30 day writing challenge where we write something everyday. Okay, we decided it did not have to be writing but we have to make some piece of art everyday.

Minimum recording length is 2 minutes (for recorded pieces)  and minimum word count (for written pieces) is 100 words, not including poems.

Today I wrote a description of a song called "Lamp Mien" by Deaf Center.



Entry 1
An expansive and haunting electric piano note begins the piece, followed by a continuously plucked instrument. A minimalistic template is created over which the instruments mingle. The strings section soars upward in pitch, crowding the sonic space. As the electric piano reoccurs, the semblance of a melody is created. “Lamp Mien” creates a sound fitting of the early morning soon after sunrise. Though austere in melody, the piece shifts in and out of a full palette of timbres, creating a dynamic effect. The atmosphere never becomes too stark, too devoid of life. A fluttering sound hits its peak as the piece closes, capturing its somber energy.
