Okay honestly it didn't hit me how funny the concept of Weird Al's Even Worse album is until I found out they'd have gone on sale side by side.

"Hmmm, do I want Bad, or Even Worse?"

I've watched Columbo so much that I knew which episode this was just from the first shot of him holding a hamburger.

COLUMBO IN:

"Now let me get this straight Skinner, you call hamburgers Steamed Hams?"

"It's a reigonal dialect lieutenant, Steamed Hams is what we used to call hamburgers in upstate New York"

"Now that's strange because my wife's from Utica and i've never heard her use the phrase 'Steamed Hams' before"

"Well it must be some sort of Albany expression then"

"Albany huh I'll have to look into that. Now you call them steamed hams, despite the fact they are obviously grilled?"

"Could we get going Columbo, I've had a busy day and I have no more time for your pointless small talk"

"One more thing Seymour, what is happening over there?"

"Um, Aurora Boreali"

"Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within this parking lot?"

Hi all,

I've finally released a music/art/eBook project that I've been working on since 2014 entitled Kinderstück. I've also launched a kickstarter to fund a physical release of the project.

Physical copies of the book will sell for $15 plus shipping (and all physical purchases via the kickstarter project come with a download link for the digital version). The kickstarter is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seanharold/kinderstuck-physical-copies

Or you can purchase the digital-only version now for $10 at this link (which includes the eBook, the musical recording, and a PDF of the book): https://seanharold.bandcamp.com/

Here is a description of the project: Kinderstück is a multidisciplinary children's book which combines visual art, text, and music. At the heart of Kinderstück is a children's story about loneliness and coping with loss. Presented as a six-part poem, the narrative follows a girl who hates noise but loves her mother's voice. When the girl loses her mother's song, she must find a new way forward.

The music of Kinderstück is written for ondes Martenot and electronics (as performed by ondist Suzanne Farrin). The release includes a recording of the work, as well as a download of the eBook. The eBook contains seven full illustrations (the cover, plus six more; illustrated by Yoko Furusho) as well as the full musical score (which is partially illustrated). Moreover, the eBook is enhanced so that the music will play while reading the book or while looking at the score. Advancing the page in the eBook will automatically trigger the corresponding music to play, allowing the reader to experience every aspect of Kinderstück at once. Likewise, the music will automatically trigger page turns as it plays, allowing the listener to follow along with the recording.

Kinderstück is a multidisciplinary children's book which combines visual art, text, and music. This video is only the score and music, not the illustrations or text.

At the heart of Kinderstück is a children's story about loneliness and coping with loss. Presented as a six-part poem, the narrative follows a girl who hates noise but loves her mother's voice. When the girl loses her mother's song, she must find a new way forward.

Each stanza of the tale is accompanied by a full page illustration by Yoko Furusho. Alive with texture, Furusho's whimsical but heartfelt illustrations perfectly complement the earnest nature of both the poem and the music.

Musically, Kinderstück is based on Anton Webern's short piano piece of the same name. As the title implies, Webern's piece was written for children to perform. This short, aphoristic piece was composed using Webern's familiar 12-tone style, but as with many of Webern's works from this period, there is a clarity and succinctness which set it apart from the dodecaphonic works of his contemporaries.

Sean Harold's Kinderstück, written for ondes Martenot and electronics, deconstructs and re-imagines Webern's composition. Harold's piece is no longer intended for a child to perform. Instead, it's written as if remembered by a child. Half dream-like, half in awe, the new composition reflects a child's love and the unique struggle of being confronted with loss at a young age.
