When I was in high school, I was always impressed by people who knew a lot of music, and I wanted to be like that.

My relationship with Colour Green

+ +

+ Colour Green is the only released album by Sibylle Baier. + She recorded the songs by herself at home in the early 70’s. + It wasn’t until 2006 that the songs were actually released as an album. + In the intervening time, Sibylle Baier didn’t pursue a career in music but instead focused on raising her family. +

+ I first discovered Colour Green around the same time period as 무너지기, when I was finishing my second degree. + For that reason, the two albums have a somewhat related flavor to them in my mind. + The comparison kind of fits outside my mind too, since both albums have a lonely and reflective mood, which, as I mentioned in my 무너지기 post, is great for a Fall full of coding. +

+
+ +
I highly recommend the whole album, but if you only listen to one song, check out Forget About
+
+

+ Like Pink Moon, this is an album with just guitar and voice (with the exception of the strings on the last track). + Once again we have an example of a great songwriter building a whole world with just these two elements. + For me, the world she builds is characterized by a pervasive lightness that belies the richness and depth of every song. + The sound is always just floating by unobtrusively, never actively grabbing or forcing engagement from the listener. + But as soon as you reach out to touch it with your attention, the meaning & emotion just unfurl themselves. +

+ One thing about the songwriting that stood out to me was the irregular of sizes of phrases. + A lot of times, the phrases don’t last a square four or two measures, but odd and varying lengths. + This enhances the etheral vibe, because new ideas will just float in, one following the other whenever feels natural. + Feeling natural is they key to doing irregular phrases well, in my opinion. + It’s the difference between organic songwriting and the sense of “I’m doing irregular things on purpose” you get from something like math rock. +

+ I like the belated release story that surrounds Colour Green. + It makes the album feel uniquely intimate and genuine. + It also gives me hope as an artist that my work will eventually reach the people it needs to, even if it takes a long time. + And as a glimpse into the life of someone who did not pursue the path of fame, it serves as a good reminder of the hidden depths everyday life can offer. +

+ Have you listened to Colour Green? + Did it resonate with you? + Did you notice the irregular phrase lengths? + Let me know your thoughts at my Ctrl-C email: gome ​@ ​ctrl-c.club. +
