Yes, the photograph or piece of art is what we work off of.

 

very nice! you are a Riff King!!!

 

Music for a nice walk in the country. Thank you! Thank grave part at the end makes it very mysterious...a possible crime scene...
remember "Orange socks?"

 

I don't remember Orange socks but looked it up...grizzly murders without resolution for the victims.

In the case of my hopeful song, the murder of the man with the violin's wife and children is the threat against him if he tries to escape from the demonic art installation by the alien artist on Spring Street, NYC. Abner Morgan and his family, Vicky his wife, 12 year old Abner Jr. and his sister, 10 year old sister Lura Elizabeth were abducted from their secluded home in the mountains of West Virginia in 1887, kept in cryogenic stasis and connected mentally by alien technology in a highly advanced computer program where they have had a simulated life experience for the past 80 years, this being 1967 when the photo was taken. Their life inside the program is boring and predictable, the boundaries of their small farm hard and fixed and only provided to keep their minds sane enough to utilize them in "art pieces" or displays akin to a zoo whenever the want arises. In this particular instance Abner has his homemade fiddle and is dressed in the actual clothing that he was wearing on that long ago Sunday morning just as the family was preparing to hitch their mule to the buckboard and ride to church on that beautiful Spring morning. The old leather case full of local dried herbs that his wife and daughter gathered as tithe for the preacher and his wife are there on the floor next to him as a constant reminder not to astray from his captivity as well as another tap to keep him honest, the flimsy twine representing the psychological binding inflicted upon him. Abner is instructed to not attempt to escape as his family will pay the ultimate price of annihilation lest he do so.

His wife Lura has had enough of their pointless and mindless life which she as well as the rest of the family feel is a life of constant torture although they are all together. She wants Abner to disobey the "artist", it being the only way for any of them to end their misery and as well the only way to stick a finger in the eye of their captures...little do they know that this is the crux of the "art" piece, namely a psychological game that bestows free will on a captive mind not unlike how elephant handlers destroy the will of a baby elephant by tying it's foot to a tree with a thin rope. The adult pachyderm will be psychologically unable to break it even as an adult and will have no will of it's own as a great beast when older. Lura, Abner Jr. and Lura are ready to die to escape their captivity, they've had enough.

Now it's up to Abner to decide...to flee this living diorama to free his family from the imposed virtual living hell or to continue the drudge of a slave's life.

Putting all this in a 3:45 minute song is my burden, joy and self imposed task.

Dang that's and awesome concept, I think you all should do one with a provided sample that would be dope

 

I found another site without signup because I am IRL already signed up in enough sites - this lasts 7 days instead of one or two
