    When I was a kid I used to spend all my holidays in South of France. I remember my mom making the breakfast. As we were eating our breakfast in the early hours of the morning in front of those huge huge huge wheat/corn/sunflower fields in the valley in front of our house she always put this same old kind of classical music in the background.
    Delibes. Saint-Saëns. Satie. And Debussy of course. This is what this song reminds me, 30-ish years later. This kinda hurts but it also makes me feel good at the same time.
    Merci beaucoup.

    As a pianist that holds this as one of my favourite pieces to play, and as also a rabid synth fanatic... I think this was marvelous. Debussy was arguably the father of impressionism in the musical form, and had a thing for gamelin music so he would have LOVED this version! I've been fumbling around with the question of whether a eurorack rig would be money well spent for me. This goes a long way toward my justification! Don't tell my wife.

We looked out at the city below and the lights moved like a swarm of bees. In that moment, we realized that we were *not* nothing, and that...that made all the difference then. Rest In Peace querida.
