Just over halfway through my 6th year of the project approaching the actual halfway point of the circle at the end of 6th, beginning of the 7th part. This moment is represented by the sign Libra, a symbol of balance and harmony and the only non-animal sign in the Zodiac.
Does this suggest that balance and harmony are unnatural states? ideas or ideals created rather than observed?

Ruled by Venus it led me to a Welsh folk song “Mae Nghariad I’n Fenws” which I have one version of on the vinyl record above. I found it first in a book of sheet music for recorder ‘ Alawon Cymru ar gyfer y recorder’.

One thing leads to another as Libra and Venus led me to ‘Liebestraum’ by Franz Liszt and a Youtube short. There will be a longer version at some point..

And on to Chanson D’amour by Libran composer Gabriel Faure, which eventually glitched up to become Chanson D’ommage, a combination of Hommage and Dommage – A damaged tribute song perhaps?

During the last week of Libra I worked with Erik Satie’s Gnossienne No1. I know Satie wasn’t a Libran but he is a favourite composer of my good friend and Libran Sean Vicary, for whom this was a birthday gift.
Interesting challenge trying to sequence a composition that has no bar markings and no time signature!
