Built around moving fourths, Pythagoras was inspired by the piano playing of the great McCoy Tyner, one of the most important jazz pianists of the 20th century.  McCoy's modal style included a very strong left hand that used fourths and fifths to create harmony and rhythm for John Coltrane, in addition to his pioneering use of fourths in his soloing.

AUTUMNAL

DRUMAX No. 70 // AUTUMNAL

Poème (Extrait) de Renée Vivien (1877-1909).

Je possède, en mes doigts subtils, le sens du monde,
Car le toucher pénètre ainsi que fait la voix,
L'harmonie et le songe et la douleur profonde
Frémissent longuement sur le bout de mes doigts.

Je comprends mieux, en les frôlant, les choses belles,
Je partage leur vie intense en les touchant,
C'est alors que je sais ce qu'elles ont en elles
De noble, de très doux et de pareil au chant.

Car mes doigts ont connu la chair des poteries
La chair lisse du marbre aux féminins contours
Que la main qui les sait modeler a meurtries,
Et celle de la perle et celle du velours.

Ils ont connu la peau subtile de la femme,
Et ses frissons cruels et ses parfums sournois...
Chair des choses ! J'ai cru parfois étreindre une âme
Avec le frôlement prolongé de mes doigts...

Chair des choses

My sister Cindy wanted me to write music for her. It is becoming increasingly hard to play and that makes me sad.  I have lay so far back in my powerchair that I can't see the controls. I can't tolerate sitting up, it's too hard to breathe. Some days I can't even get out of bed.

My son attached a projector to my computer so my screen is now 6'x4', and I have a small keyboard I hold in my hand. So I try to keep up, but it takes much longer to do anything. ALS is not easy to deal with. It's important to stay positive and make good use of the time I have left.

'shit at and hit'
Thanks to grandma Billie for the phrase. A wonderful woman. I've yet to hear of this phrase existing prior, nor of it from anyone else since.
Scotty: Two yamaha storia II takes through a fender mustang III amp with differing fx, channeled accordingly, maybe, hopefully, and a handful of vocal takes layered. 

I can't get up today.
I've got no words to say.
Everything always replays,
and causes me dismay. 

I feel like I've been shot at and missed, and shit at and fucking hit. 

If there is a god,
why the fuck would they
make us in the mould
to have to feel this way?
Everyday.

shit at and hit

  Lyrics:

I have to ask myself
Is it all your fault, is it just you?
If I need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Are you the only one who did wrong?
If I need someone to blame
I don't see myself, only you
But I can make mistakes
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you

Am I the only one who can see..?
We are both to blame
You also make mistakes, like me
If we need someone to blame
It's easier to turn away
Feel big for one more day

But I am here to learn
And see myself for how I am to you..

I am here to learn..

I am here to learn...

-Thank you so much for listening! 🫶
