Today’s installment of I Imagine They’re Still There is a very special one for me. It’s a piece made in conversation with memories of one of my favorite buildings in Philly: the Crane Old School in Fishtown/Kensington.
This is the building where I attended grad school, as a member of the first class of the Pig Iron School. I’ve built and devised music and action for so many pieces there. It was there that I met some of my dearest friends and most cherished collaborators. The huge studios — hardwood floors bathed in warm natural light — and the large windows and back doors leading into a small graveyard; they contain reverberant memories of boundless creativity, curiosity and love.
If you’d like to play the piece, the piano sheet music can be downloaded for free here. I think this one is really fun to play; I hope it’s fun for you too.
Fond Memories, Big Love,
