KICK BACK

Funky Square

Broscht V1

For Marina Cgramont.
A word to my fellow English speakers on the title. For not only is the dedicatee Spanish, there’s a problem common to translation here. ‘Caballero’ is certainly ‘knight.’ But it is also ‘gentleman’, and in its least derived meaning, ‘horseman.’ In fact, there are only two languages, to my knowledge, that name their ‘knightly’ class after its service (to a feudal lord) rather than its horsemanship – English and Japanese! Now ‘caballera’ would take that whole complex of meanings and transfer it to the feminine – but that is NOT a transfer that Spanish makes! Still, to tweak a word ending for poetic effect is far different than using Newspeak to ram your worldview down the throat of humanity!
Even ‘desdichado’ has problems. It means both ‘unhappy’ and ‘misfortunate.’ Related concepts, surely, but one English word? And so my title remains in Spanish and I invite you to come enjoy the music -- which is instrumental in any case. Mi casa su casa!

La Caballera Desdichada

End of Time (it's my turn)

Being part of a two and having no form I/ we  are  prone to alternative and posibly delusional reality ... 

Analogy 1 ... when barely out of my teens I used to find long pieces of music that I liked ... I used to set up my record player in that repeat mode ( per clunk clunk I called it ) ... I liked the continuity and it was like finding a place to be that was my own and secure ... With the advent of digital it got even easier ... every continuous repeat  listen noticing a different hidden detail in whatever piece I was fasciated by at the time  ... Now I think in these terms all the time ... The legacy of vinyl , cd and tape almost , but not quite , a memory ... Music becomes parallel information etc 

first cod haddock analogy leads to second ... I don't look at a drawing, picture or painting from left to right .. nor from top to bottom ... So , hard as I might the locked in the " beginning to end " of aforementioned analog types of media stay with despite  ... Listening may become dislocated from time ??? and be an is ??? a movement inside every individuals thoughts only ??? 

I make a meal I lay and set the table .. if people eat I am delighted .. If they do not I am usually already busy making something else :) R+LL

"The Final Chapter" unfolds over 4 minutes and 16 seconds of serene, immersive ambience. Soft, evolving textures drift like mist through a quiet soundscape, building a gentle sense of closure and reflection. Layers of airy pads and subtle drones create a warm yet spacious atmosphere, perfect for moments of meditation, focus, or emotional release. With its delicate dynamics and cinematic undertone, this piece feels like the last page of a long journey, both tranquil and bittersweet.
