Perpetrators generally don’t think about what they did – not in the repetitious way a victim does. It’s something you see over time, victims get torturous playback loops sometimes the rest of their life, but perpetrators are usually good to kiss the kids goodnight and plan a midweek lunch appointment. Stalin’s wife shot herself in the heart, probably understood millions of people were starved to death by the father of her children, Mengele secretly meets his son in Paraguay and explains he has no remorse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another thing learned over time is the smallness of the distance between years. You might previously have thought a certain space between them was far away but then they come closer. I thought the childhood of my grandmother was from ancient times, now I can smell the grass growing in those fields. Ten years ago becomes a blink, which means one hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, maybe for the mountain is just more blinks. That old tree at Emerson and Dupont, the only one remaining with the full canopy and no insulting surgery done to limbs making way for telephone lines or streetlights, it knows about that longer blink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like how animal sounds remain constant. There’s a film from the 60s, (I forget its name with Marlon Brando) which I used when I taught a course at LIFT on doing music for film. I used it because I found it much more interesting to find examples of bad music in film than good music, easier to grasp why it didn’t work more than why it did work, and in this film there were seagulls in the background. Despite the styles of humans changing between then and now, technology changing too, but the music of seagulls absolutely hits the same bullseye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
