Inaugural: “Air and Simple Gifts” by John Williams performed by Yo-Yo Ma
Violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, clarinetist Anthony McGill, pianist Gabriela Montero — offered the premiere of Air and Simple Gifts, composed for the occasion by John Williams (some of you know him better as the composer of the Jurassic Park or Jaws themes). A solid studio recording of the track has yet to be leaked, in the meantime you can listen to this low-fi rip that i scoured the web for. Almost sounds unnaturally flawless, and I know a version had been recorded weeks earlier in preparation… see if you can spot the sync.
if you’re ever heard the Copland, this piece is kinda reminiscent

yeah i know these are nine days later than expected but at least i made my car payment. first off i’d like to say i had the best damn halloween out of anyone i know. i wanna thank luigi for feeding us. ali is was such a pleasure, i wanna thank you and erin for being in my pod while the word around me melted. “There’s an ecosystem in my mouth”. If any of you have shots of from this evening please mail them to christos at this domain name. i honestly should not have even been operating the camera… as you can see there’s a fair amount of distortion. im really glad everything turned out alright, especially when our cabbie almost slammed into that unicorn on the way home… “it’s horn was so shiny”.
