We’re still pumping the brakes after a string of long, difficult meditations last week; don’t worry, I’m not done “chewin’ on roots,” but I need to slow down and get lost. Tonight, in Ironic Advent MediCATION #11, that’s what we’re going to do.
Here’s how it works. Adam Young of Owl City released a bunch of scores this year. Grab some headphones, find a comfortable chair, or relax on the couch, or hop in your bed, and listen. Pick whichever score suits you (the artwork is enchanting). For my part, I'm choosing The Endurance (I'll let you know that Project Excelsior is incredible). They run about half an hour. Don’t do anything else. Don’t check your phone, don’t cook dinner, don’t get on the treadmill (not that you were going to do that anyways). Just listen to the music (woahoooowoaahhhhh listen to the muuusic).
I hardly ever do this. I listen to music every day, but it’s almost always while I’m engaged in some other activity - working out, playing chess, writing, cooking, mowing the lawn, driving, etc. Tonight, on the 11th day of Advent, that stuff can wait. Tonight, we’re going listen and get lost.
