And values not having to venture to the arctic circle to find it.Īs fer' what I am listening to? Toby snoring. I guess I am one of those rare freaks who enjoys experiencing nature.
Ugh! The winnies and their ubiquitous generators. Same kind of sentiments when car camping as well. I often feel/lament that they are missing out on something though like what nature sounds like even in the quietest moments. I cannot climb anymore and only a "tagalong" so I go with the flow of those who are pursuing their adventures in moving over stone.
#Ice climber piano portable#
Modern times it seems portable solar charged lithium ion powered mini-speakers w/surprisingly big sound bluetooth'd to the iPhone are "essential hardware" for the craggin' gear pack. They chewed thru batteries (too rich fer' the average dirtbag, and incentivized moderated volumes fer' those who were using them much) and solar chargers were not yet a thing. Hopefully the intent of my prose did not read otherwise.īoom boxes actually would not be so bad. Long live The Yeah, I get that you were referencing "songs in your head". Bonus points for when some well funded entity is pickng up the tab for gear and grub too. And so great that you got to have those experiences. Which is not to say that I did not enjoy a little Midnight Oil whilst slavin', nor a bit o' Van Halen at The 'Smoke.Īwesome pics, David. Just a bit tougher to find on the latter when yer' fightin' to get that wedged piece out before you're pumped and blow. Especially on solo or the sharp end, but following and cleaning leap frogged leads. I sought those 'zen experiences', wherein I became one with the climb. Some folks climb to conquer something, maybe w/in themselves or the delusion of mother nature herself. Especially if a bit sporty on the sharp end. Truth is that I really appreciate the quiet. But what if I do not want to hear The Dead as a continual backdrop, day in and day out? Or Brahms? What has been in your head when you were out there doing Most everyone brings tunes to the crags these days, or so it seems. With the second movement of the B Flat major on your mental speakers Or how about leaving camp and sailing down this:
With the third movement of the D minor blasting in your head: (go to 39:00) Skiing down glaciers and snowfields no one had ever visited before way up in the Baffin winter, with a couple of unforgettable movements from the Brahms piano concertos blasting in perfect clarity in my head. What I do have is a tremendous sound memory, which leads to. Yeah, I can pick out simple tunes on a guitar or piano, but I haven't a clue about the difference between F Sharp Minor and E Flat Major. With this short preface: I am not a musician. I have no idea what the junior pad people use for their soundtrack.īut here's a start, from a long, long time ago.
#Ice climber piano Bluetooth#
If I were a couple of centuries younger, I'd be hanging way up in the sky, at least six feet above a pile of pads, with Bluetooth buds in my ears, listening to. And vice versa, I hope you all have found something worth listening to in the few links I have posted.īut this is a climbing forum, right? So what about exploring the intersection of climbing and music? Maybe not the same music, but it is great to be steered toward something someone else likes that is new to me. Since the length is under 24 minutes, xoc decided to have this release printed up on 3" CDs.We all love music. xoc has spent the last three and a half years working on a medley that consists of 100 short themes from video games which spans 18 minutes and 22 seconds. Xoc has participated in other Concatenation compilations, but this is his first solo release for the label (and for Good-Evil Records), and it's quite the endeavor.
