You’re a good kid. Thanks for sharing this one.

Yup, one nation, under … (insert benificent being of choice, or not), enshrouded in weirdbience, with Liberty and Justice for All.

I wonder if we could all engage fully in the act of listening alone if this country and indeed the world might be different.

Happy Independence Day, Gurdonark :-).

This is an elegant composition, combining organic and manufactured sounds in your unique voice, reflecting your thoughtfulness and intention to express something meaningful. Thank you so very, very much for inviting me to be a part of this beautiful atmosphere and message.

A brave and exceptional creative piece which is absolutely fascinating to experience. Thank you, Gurdonark. I hope you’re enjoying this special day in America. x

Mister E and i are listening while i visit him in his isolation room. He seems to like the bird sounds a great deal, and meows along with the female vocals. I enjoyed the guitar by the campfire, and felt that i’d spent a day celebrating independence. Mister E wants independence, too.

I enjoyed this very, very much.

Happy 233rd.

Your work always makes the windmills of my mind grind more finely… Thanks for this.

Well god bless you for still having the ability to believe in mankind’s potential. It helps to take up the slack of people like me who’s faith falters in the daily evidence to the contrary. Anyway, this is a very heartfelt and effective piece, despite my discomfort with the concept of ‘our’ land, or ‘god’ for that matter. Well done.

Thanks for inviting me to contribute to this, Gurdonark. I had a good time working on it.

It was an interesting mode for making music. There was a MIDI recording of the melody, played very slow and with a slight hiccup in the time signature. Also a piece of sheet music from Mutopia with the gory details.

I really like that you took on the genre of patriotic songs. It’s bold and creative.

I like the flavor of the piece, with the peaceful feeling and the blanket of non-tonal scratching gluing everything together. You took this to a place that’s not at all about the military, and at the same time kept the american identity theme recognizable.
