Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.
Hey, Mom! The Explanation.
Here's the permanent dedicated link to my first Hey, Mom! post and the explanation of the feature it contains.
One of my very favorite musicians has died. Harold Budd died on December Seventh of complications from a Covid-19 infection shortly after testing positive. He was 84 years old.
Budd spent his life composing some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard in my life, some of which he created in collaboration with Brian Eno and others created in collaboration with other wonderful and favorite artists of mine, such as Robin Guthrie, Cocteau Twins, John Foxx, Daniel Lanois, David Sylvian, and Andy Partridge.
I am full of gratitude to Harold Budd and his musical career. Thank you.
Harold Budd's music has brought me so much joy over the years. I have probably listened to Ambient Two The Plateaux of Mirror more than any of the other ambient albums.
It's sad that he's gone.
He will be missed.
Remembering Harold Budd
•Dec 9, 2020
Gorvo31 - Thank you Harold for your art and example you set!
The Plateaux of Mirror became the second release in the Eno-conceived Ambient series, after Music For Airports. Eno's contribution was literally to create the ambience out of which the music emerged, using delays, reverbs, and other effects. "I would set up a sound," Eno recalled, then Budd would improvise the melodies in response. As Budd put it, "I'm listening to the atmosphere at the same time that I'm playing so that the treatment influences what I play." The result of the symbiosis between the two was an intensely visual soundscape that lived up to titles like "First Light," "An Arc of Doves," and "Among Fields of Crystal." But the music's effect isn't just a synesthetic trigger to mind's eye reveries. It's physiological, too: Listening, you find yourself breathing deeper and slower. Time dilates — each moment glistens like a pearl catching the light as it revolves in front of your eyes.
Harold sat down in his hotel for this engaging interview in 2019 at the Big Ear's Festival. He talks army years, jazz, composition, and where to eat in Joshua Tree.

An Ambient Interview with Harold Budd at Moogfest 2012
•Aug 9, 2016
Nightgeist Media
Minimalist composer and ambient pianist Harold Budd talks with Geary Yelton about performing at Moogfest, touring the world, and his musical relationship with producer Brian Eno. At Eno’s insistence, he moved from the Los Angeles area to London where he could make a living as a composer. Consequently, he said, “I owe Brian everything.”

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
