Search - Logan WHitehurst & The Junior Science Club :: Very Tiny Songs

Very Tiny Songs, Logan Whitehurst s final work, contains 81 mini-masterpieces, each clocking in at about a minute. This album s songs, which were written and recorded in a scant 6 weeks, are almost all inspired by suggestions solicited from friends and fans on the internet. The follow is an excerpt from Dr. Demento's liner notes: "Let us praise huge works of art. The Sphinx. 'War and Peace.' Murals. 'Gone With The Wind.' 'As Slow As Possible' by John Cage, which takes 639 years to perform. Let us also praise tiny works of art. Netsuke. Haiku. Dollhouse paintings. 'Bambi Meets Godzilla.' And now, Logan Whitehurst's 'Very Tiny Songs.' Tininess can easily be as rewarding as hugeness, and is much less tiresome to comprehend. When you have comprehended a huge artwork in its entirety, you pat yourself on the back for getting through it all, and head out for a beer, or anything that will divert your mind from all that hard labor. When you have comprehended a tiny work of art, you want to comprehend it again and again, savoring the succinctness of it all, luxuriating in its gorgeous tiny details. Such is the magic of Logan Whitehurst's 'Very Tiny Songs.'"
