Traffic Jam

Soundtrack: Chris Peck

Poem: Scott Silsbe

View from my living room window down onto the intersection below.  Light flowing traffic crawls to a halt as school busses for the nearby high schools emerge to pick up students after their afternoon release.  The rhythm of the funk style guitar and percussion-based soundtrack created by Chris Peck is in inverse intensity to the movement of the traffic. The 3-page poem, Traffic Jam, by Scott Silsbe reflects on time being slowed down, for both those in the cars below and for the overhead observer.

Below is a 3-minute excerpt and the full 21-minute and 30-seconds version followed by the 3-page poem Traffic Jam.
