Hallucination Rag


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
Here's a fresh mix of my 2005 song which was written in response to the flooding of New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. My goal was to write a rag that mimicked the style of a New Orleans funeral in which dark and foreboding music is played on the way to the graveyard but bright and cheerful music is played on the way back.

The above photo of me was taken in my basement, and I regret to say that narcotics were involved.

Bombastic!
I like that word -- bombastic. Yeah, that's exactly what I was trying for. But there's another precise word to describe this music -- fustian!

Dark merriment!
Very catchy! It has a "Danse Macabre" quality about it, which I guess I could have written less-pretentiously in English ("Macabre dance"), at the same time as having an infectious sense of fun permeating throughout. Very clever. And very brave of you to share a candid photograph taken in what appears to be your laboratory, illustrating your minions at work.
