RE: Photos of the trains today and an original song by me!
Wait are you saying no cups rattling in the cupboards from the trains? Or the motorway? My trainyard shakes my entire house. The screws slowly undo themselves. Everything rattles. The bathroom mirror, cups on tables, lamps... These trains "couple"-- -they come to this train yard to connect to other trains etc. When they connect it makes a loud BOOOOOM !!!!! And sometimes that shakes everything real good like a small earthquake, all hours of the day and night. I have lived here more than 5 years and I am sooooooo over it hahaha. To help me cope with being burnt out about it, I plan to make more train art soon , including audio and video because instead of being all grumpy about it and trying to shut them out, I am going to just walk right toward the sounds and experience, and let it get into my art. I have some train art and music from the past, too that I will be posting! :) Here is a song called Trains... hmm maybe I will edit the post and put it in above too, but so that you see it, here it is!
I think the music reflects more what it's like being ON a train!
I just had an intercity slowing to a halt at the station, no heavy clanging. Motorway has continuous background drone PLUS filthy air. There is this great Swiss movie Home (2008 ) in which a highway is being built infront of their solitary house. All goes well (as an extended front garden) until it opens.... . Transportation: the greatest modern invention perhaps (beginning with trains) but also the most insulating of our humanity (ending in road rage).
