Un discorso vecchio
Un discorso vecchio
Un discorso vecchio
E perché vecchio buono
Una nuova prospettiva
Questo vecchio è moderno

Ho cercato il progresso
Ho cercato il progresso
Questo vecchio è buono
Questo vecchio è moderno
Questo vecchio è attuale 
E’ difficile andare più avanti
Fermiamoci per il momento al vecchio
Prima di sapere dove avanzare

Sono su un cammino difficile
Sono su una strada minata 
È per questo che è buona
Mi faccio strada
Fra le nuvole
Infiltrandomi tra l’una e l’altra
Facendomi spazio con le mani

Nei giardini pubblici 
C’è solo gente vecchia
Eppure è il più bel posto della città
Sono andata a sedermi
Tra I canarini
Che sopra gli alberi 
Urlano volano predicono il futuro
Al cantautore muto 
Seduto sulla panchina con la guitar
Urlano 
E si sono fatti una città di canarini
Come fanno un po’ dappertutto nel mondo 
Si riproducono e restano li
Verdi e gialli

I giardini pubblici
Mentre andavo via 
Un uomo dal viso orientale
Ha cantato forte una preghiera
Come fosse stata per me
« Ah ecco, guarda, - diceva al suo amico- 
sta passando il Cristo ! »

Ok, magari vado a bere una birra
O a farmi un sonnellino
Beato sacro giardino
Pietre
E andrò’ sempre più indietro 
Verso la
Culla del Mondo

Culla del Mondo

Dedicated to Jello Biafra :)

Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'KIrby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Japan) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too. Its usually pretty spacious and dreamy : ) This time however the piece we sent out was really busy and instead of trying to pare it back we thought fuck it lets go full hog and make it super busy. So we asked Guitarist Axel Weiß (Germany)and Saxophonist Phil Bywater (Australia) to join the party. So The sextet was born. Of note is that none of the players heard any other parts of the work other than the original Piano/Bass recording, and in the  case of the Saxophones poor Phil didn't hear anything at all! I just used some work he had sent me. So all those nuanced interactions are complete sonic chance. as always Aporia may or may not record more music

Low-Fi Scherzi for Piano and Electronics Nr. 1

Klaus Nomi 
The Cold Song / King Arthur
Henry Purcell + John Dryden [1691]

Matthew Lee Knowles
[2015]

Nomi died from AIDS aged 39 and Purcell suffered an even more premature end around 35.  I include Dryden's words here, because they parallel both Nomi's impending agony and Purcell's (possible) cause of death (long exposure to the cold after getting locked out.)

What Power art thou, 
Who from below, 
Hast made me rise, 
Unwillingly and slow,
From beds of everlasting snow!

See'st thou not how stiff,
And wondrous old,
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold.

I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath,
I can scarcely move,
Or draw my breath.

Let me, let me,
Let me, let me,
Freeze again...
Let me, let me,
Freeze again to death!

Klaus Nomi/The Cold Song [MLK/REMIX:1691/2015]

For ensemble & electronics
composer: Ilya Ziblat Shay
