September 2016
I sauntered over to the UTEP campus for a UTEP faculty recital; this one called Baroque Gems. The bassoon was featured. What an odd instrument. Call me lowbrow, but I am underwhelmed by its presumed charms. Not the artistry of the musician, mind you, the instrument.
Nevertheless, here's a video from one of the composers highlighted in the performance, J.D. Zelenka. I quite like the combined sound of the instruments:
(Mmmm. During times such as these, in the midst of a vicious presidential campaign, classical music soothes like a hot, sudsy bath.)
It was light on my way to the concert, and dark when I left.
Some campus scenes on my way home. There was a beautiful moon:

Wait, before you go, "hanh?" I took the photo of the enshrined toilet because it made me think of an art installation. Being on a university campus and in an arts building and all. See lowbrow reference at the top of this post.
