This work was inspired by a sentence I found in my journal from June 2020: \"I feel like I'm mourning the loss of a season that hasn't happened yet.\" I found that I no longer experienced the passage of time in the same way that I had pre-pandemic; everything moved so slowly and yet also so quickly around me. Societally, we think of Father Time as steady, rigid, ticking on reliably, while Mother Nature is supposedly caring, nurturing, and abundant. Although the gender binary is a myth, intentionally re-gendering time and nature helped me discover two figures whose cosmic work actually resonated with my new relationship to my surroundings. Mother Time is shifting, flexible, and gentle—an ever-changing season of learning and growth. Father Nature is relentless flowering, a continual force that progresses with or without humans out and about. \u003cem\u003eMother Time, Father Nature\u003c\/em\u003e translates these personas to music, exploring proportions and development as the two might, but in the form of meter, rhythm, register, and phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264813850703,"sku":"JAT-110-075-SP","price":35.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/16a6cc447f0d7dc27270dc919428aa9a.jpg?v=1779209678","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/ja\/products\/flagello-mother-time-father-nature-just-theory","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
