{"product_id":"matt-slocum-with-love-sadness-music-cd","title":"Matt Slocum - With Love \u0026 Sadness Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy previous recording, Sanctuary, is a musical reflection on places and characters in my personal life that have provided a sense of creative refuge and a feeling of home. With Love and Sadness takes a more expansive view, examining my seemingly delusional aspiration that we can somehow evolve toward a more compassionate and inclusive society. This is balanced musically against the darkness of an ongoing realization that systemic racism in America is still so much more pervasive than I had imagined. The structure of the piece emerged as I was reflecting on the depths of this national crisis during a trip to the Maine wilderness last August. As a result of pandemic-related closures, it was the first time my wife and I had traveled in many months. It felt like a new perspective, at least early in the journey. The shape of this composition outlines the evolution of my reflections throughout the course of that trip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Evolving Alliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd of the Season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecipice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Abandoned Illusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerica Revisited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 016728164825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sunnyside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.18.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52207568290023,"sku":"48422","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/matt-slocum-with-love-sadness-music-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
