Singing along to Mahler

Sometimes when I listen to music it makes me feel sick as if I have eaten too much chocolate cake. I was listening to Mahler when this drawing came out. I like Mahler a lot but sometimes it just makes me queasy...why?

Anyway, this is done with Adobe illustrator 5...the free download which runs out in a couple of weeks. It is amazing software. It draws by itself. Unfortunately it costs the same as a world cruise so I better not get used to it.

Hah! I'm in that financial bracket, too. I like Mahler sometimes.

That's funny. I thought you were in the States...

I love the Mahler they used in 'Death in Venice' and thought it would be nice to have at my last party.
Was it his fifth?

Listening to Mahler puts me in all kinds of states...and if you're feeling in really quite a good and sunny mood, God's in his heaven and all's well with the world and so on, then Wo die schönen Trompeten blasern (from Des Knaben Wunderhorn) will unerringly drag you back down again.

Rosie, thank you for signing up to Evelyn Dunbar. Much appreciated.

There do seem to be a few "cracks" available to release the free version. Can't say I've used them, they may contain Mahler-ware

Rosie said...

Pat: Fifth and third according to Wikipedia.
Christopher: your aunty reminds me of my great aunty Margo Veillon.

Rog: I would step on the crack if I knew which pavement it was on but I don't want mahlerware either.

Rosie, I'm afraid I'd never heard of Margo Veillon, so I looked her up and discovered a fascinating person and a very interesting artist. How lucky we are with our aunts. Thank you for pointing me in her direction.

(And if you step on the cracks don't bears come up and eat you?)

I went through a heavy Mahler stage and then suddenly found I'd overdosed and couldn't listen to any more.
It was fun while it lasted though.

Rosie said...

mig:I can't listen to Tom Waits anymore.

Thomas Hardy - I once read most of the complete works in a dozen sittings and fell off in the middle of Jude the Obscure. I still don't know what happened to Jude but I just know it was unbearably tragic.
