Original instrumental tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on pedal harp, midi-keyboard, & laptop. For all those who enjoy harp glissandi & special effects, this tune offers an abundance of each.
Fenestration - When used as an architectural term, it refers to the design, construction & presence of openings in a building. This may include windows, doors, louvres, vents, wall panels, skylights, storefronts, curtain walls, etc., many of which were observed when I strolled by the building pictured above. Thus, this tune was inspired by a visit to Helsinki, Finland, where one downtown building under construction (among many) caught my eye - probably because of the multi-colored panels as shown in the photo above.
Actually, this may be a better song title than the closely related term - defenestration, which refers to the act of throwing someone or something out of a window. So, should the tune not appeal to your listening ear, you may certainly choose to defenestrate it.
