Heartbreak
Stefanie Kisamore - Lyrics
My heart aches - i know i'm gonna lose
Oh for love's sake - i know it's gonna bruise
I'm in a heart break - i'm feelin used

i can see you walkin away
and there's nothing I can do

remember - i was there for you
i was tender - a gentle loving fool
oh i surrendered - like a love sick tool

i'm in a heart break nothing I can do
i'm in a heart break the pain runs me through
oh Im in a heart break
hooo, ooo, oooo

I never - thought it would go this way
forever - i thought you would stay oooo

i'm in the heartbreak
ooooh i'm in a heartbreak
i'm in a heartbreak nothing I can do
i'm in a heartbreak the pain runs me through

HeartBreak

It's the half term school holidays in the UK this week, I'm sitting at home with two young kids and I read this email from Naviar for the Haiku challenge as it pops into my inbox.  I love the image this haiku creates. Outside my window at home we have tree branches that are winter bare. I was filming these the other day for another project. 
I had an idea for the music straight away - a 'bare' sort of sound to reflect the image of branches.  I started on this straight away. The kids are happy playing so I progressed and made this in about 2 hours. 

Birds in a bare tree
Dance on windswept branches
Their waiting ballet…

Look Around

method: merging emf recordings (soma ehter) with voice and electronic instruments
narration: are we even noticing in what way we are acting outside our immediate range of perception?

poem / copyright jo richter:

in other senses
prominent slivers have turned loadstone amber
fluctuating
surf spraying in intensely spiking charges
in alluring, apparently random patterns

listen in closer
to appreciate the peculiar nanopercolations
emenating
from devices attached to humanoid eels
crowded along a crust of diminshed plasticity

the oil-spill beauty
of chromatically shared capacitive fields
signalling
majestic confusion, an irradiating yearning
to shelter within forces of overload frugality

this harshness, too
will yield to the momentum of temporal fugality
giving way
to the meandering grace of wavelength dragons
singing their songs in the old astral tongues

In 1967, Jose Feliciano's guide dog was denied entry into the UK and Netherlands due to quarantine laws. He wrote this song in response.

Welcome to a site that encourages collaboration and creativity, this takes many paths of styles and possibilities. Download, collaborate and then simply email it to 2023donut@gmail.com and leave a msg on the song you have done that. Creativity welcomed, learn and grow as an artist and have some fun during all of this world melee going on out there.  All about creativity, not dominance, so enjoy! Original generated music from this site under 2023donut is attributed to Colin Gross/Michael Mooser (Colin doesn't participate now but because of his support there would be no music from me if I had not had his support for decades so I always give credit back to an original pact made in 1975-6) if stated as page name, other contributing artists will have their name attached to the work always. Once you download a piece and collaborate with it simply email it to 2023donut@gmail.com and leave a message here that you did. Then it will be posted here on this page for the whole cycle to begin again. Stay positive, could be worse all the haters could be twins! This is a positive experience, anyone bringing anything else will be ignored, life is short, don't have time for it. Have a wonderful day!!!!
