Key Moment

My single favorite moment from Drift One was near Cathedral Square Park. I remember standing on the corner of the street and I could hear a church bell and a truck’s beeping sound when it goes in reverse. I listened to the sounds for a while, which seemed not coincide very well at first. Gradually, the bell and the beeping synced up for a moment, and then fell back into synchronization. I thought that it was a really odd, yet common moment, yet I enjoyed it a lot. I realized that by thinking of these common things in a different light, I was able to derive so much more meaning from their occurrence. I thought of these two things playing music together. They seemed to want to be on the same beat, but they couldn’t. As a percussionist, rhythms are always noticeable to my so when two different rhythms are playing, I notice big time. The matching of rhythms, just for a moment, was the most memorable part of my drift.
