We Make Clocks, Not Time
John F. Gerrard
This piece mixes an original musical arrangement with selections from my book, We Make Clocks, Not Time: My Lived Experience with Psychosis, Creativity, and The Ideas That Have Helped Me. With this work, I hope to evoke thought and discussion on topics such as creativity, free will, and other mental health issues.
I’ve created textures that are soft and atmospheric to ease the listener into the content. The melody consists of notes from a single chord, with different instances played on each speaker, working together.
