No Nouns, No Pronouns
Skirmish: No nouns, no pronouns. (@bergie)Liner Notes
Thank you for the prompt. He, would this count? I imagine the question Can we live without nouns and pronouns? Music is open to collaborations. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you for listening and for commenting.

Thank you so much Berni ✨️
Now THIS is a lovely sad song--one of your best!! ❤️
Very beautiful. As if I am listening to a sad pianist in a concert hall. Very very imaginative sounds
Very moving. So sad. A sad world without nouns...perhaps the noun is now in a world without its pronoun and this is why it is so sad... Love the dynamics. Beautiful.
This feels very sad to me; lots of questions and not so many answers. Lovely playing and improvisation as always!
Lovely piano! This could be really good film music. And you managed to not use nouns or pronouns! ;D
The piano is lovely. In my ear it is screaming quietly for a voice to answer the question. But perhaps the piano is answering.
Well, this is absolutely no nouns, no pronouns hahaha. But really, this keeps astoundingly well with the prompt. The way the melody dances around the chords, never quite coming home, perpetually raising questions only to answer them with more questions. Oil paints. Feeling without speaking. Showing, not telling. You knocked it outta the park. This is one of my favorites for this prompt, and i think of all of FAWM 2026. Well done. Thank you for this. Truly beautiful stuff, friend.
Dark and dulcet tones -- I hear the wandering and the wondering, but it's smooth. Very pretty.
Lovely, dreamy melancholy - it definitely implies no nouns to me. I really like the chord movements, sounds like it could have been the soundtrack for Once upon a time in America.
Not sure how to judge this in relation to the prompt, other than to say, another lovely piece of music. So I'd say it definitely counts on the grounds that it's a joy to listen to, and as far as I can see, you didn't use any nouns or pronouns. Great stuff
this is gorgeous as per usual. your storytelling ability through instrumentation is so captivating. i love listening to your music! thanks for sharing.
Another of your gorgeous mood pieces. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
