A Sense of Doubt blog post #3604 - SoD reprint of #2134 - Harold Budd - RIP - Music Monday for 2012.21
Back to reprint mode for today's post as I keep falling behind and want to catch up.
There's no official system for selecting a reprint, but there are some things I try.
One thing is to look at the same date, in this case December 30th, on past years; however, after a glance, I realized that I wanted a music Monday post.
Oddly, this one was not categorized as a Music Monday even though it was entitled Music Monday and was posted on a Monday over four years ago.
I found it by searching past Decembers and posts that spoke to me.
This one spoke to me because it's a tribute post for the loss of a great musician, one who has meant a great deal to me since I first discovered him in a purchase of Ambient Two: Plateaux of Mirror, which was the first "ambient" record I ever purchased. That album has become a soundtrack to my life, and it's one of the pieces of music that I have listened to the most.
Such a huge loss when Budd died. Sure, he was 84 years old. About the same age as my Dad, who was 85 at this time in 2020.
And Covid.
They both died of Covid.
As I looked at the post, I found two broken video links, which will always motivate me to both edit the post and reprint it.
The post has greater meaning for me now that my Dad has passed away.
I am not sure if I ever played Harold Budd for Dad, but I probably did. Or surely, he heard it in our home as I played it for so many years. In fact, I am pretty sure I had that ambient album in December of 1980 when my Christmas present was a receiver/amp and a turntable. I may have played it in the living room on Christmas Day.
I have so many of my Dad's things that he has left behind with me as well as some great art work.
And Harold Budd has left a rich legacy of music.
I miss both of them.
I miss my Dad more, obviously.
I am glad Brian Eno is still alive.
And Robin Guthrie.
I wish Bowie was still alive.
Next month will be Bowie month, and most of the posts will be about or relate to Bowie in some way. There will be reprints, surely, because I am busy, but there will also be a roundup of ALL the Daily Bowie posts, which I also hope to edit with stable video links.
As this year comes to a close, Harold Budd's music is just the perfect soundtrack to say goodbye to my Dad, this weird year of 2024 in which so much has changed while so much has stayed the same.
Thank you if you read to this point. I hear occasionally from some of you that you do read.
I appreciate that.
Don't be shy to say hello.
Love and peace to all of you.
Thanks for tuning in.

If I am in low power mode, it's because I do not have time to do much that's inventive, original, or even substantive on the blog. This means I am posting straight shares, limited content posts, reprints, often something qualifying for the THAT ONE THING category and other easy to make posts to keep me daily. That's the deal.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2134 - Harold Budd - RIP - Musical Monday for 2012.21
30 DAYS to inauguration
HAROLD BUDD DISCOGRAPHY from WIKI
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.

NPR: Remembering ambient music master: Harold Budd
NPR'S IN MEMORIUM PLAYLIST
Obscure
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.

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.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. 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.
