about

This was the fourth of 12 pieces recorded in a single 2-hour session using a rented MIDI pickup and synthesizer. By this point in the session I appear to have entered a whimsical, but also increasingly juvenile and even tantrum-like state (which is understandable, given what was going on in my life at the time)—­­as if I am regressing into being a flailing child. I’ve had difficulty naming the piece, but the current name, ‘I Find This Completely Unacceptable,’ I now realize, expresses an interesting double identity: a child’s tantrum is unacceptable to the parent, but it is equally unacceptable to the child. So, while the name acknowledges that some listeners might react by saying, about this piece: “I find this completely unacceptable,” I’m also saying, by playing it in the first place: *I find this completely unacceptable* about my *life*. And I’m hoping that you, the listener, will somehow be able to share this frustration with me, in a way that is more satisfying for both of us than either of us experiencing it (i.e., life) alone.
