haiku #371: Heavenly creatures / descending it seems - / the sea of spring

Return To Routine

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks of dance music

All tracks were uploaded between 12/2020 and 04/2021, about half of them in the past two months, with the following older exceptions:
. . - Ploet "Of The Maiden of Yore"(#15): 2 years,
. . - Canter (Saangoma -Heliotherapy)(#12): 12 - 23 months,
. . - Takeshi Nakamura "Next Life""(#16): 12 - 23 months,
. . - m£sK¡g∆†s0º "It Doesn't End"(#13): 7 months,
. . - Canter (Saangoma - Heliotherapy)(#12): 6 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (terminology conundrum)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist.

YOUR GARDEN [for todd tuttle]

a track by Marco Lucchi reworked by Wilfried Hanrath

maggio 2022

Wilfried Hanrath - Il Trionfo, re - imagining The Triumph by Marco Lucchi

for nothing to happen takes forever

Noly and I collaborated on a track some months ago called The Salt Room.  You can find it under tracks on this page and at Noly Williams here on Soundcloud.  Based on how enjoyable that collaboration was, I sent the basic tracks for this song to Noly (after many delays on my part) and once again she has performed her magic, making something transcendent from a humble origin.

Little Gray Suitcase (Noly Williams and Softlands)

High recommendation of headphones, to fully enjoy sound adds and effects.

Letra / translated lyrics:

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la vieja madre...   /   the old mother...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
la tierra extraña...   /   the strange land...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...


Son tus raíces   /   Your roots are
más profundas que el tiempo.   /   deeper than time.
Olvida tu vida   /   Forget your life
que ahora es desierto.   /   which is now a desert.

Tus raíces de sangre se han perdido,   /   Your blood roots are lost
y tu exótico mundo ha envejecido.   /   and your exotic world has got old.
La llamada de la selva ha convertido:   /   The call of the jungle has turned:

tus batallas en guerras,   /   your battles to wars,
y tus bosques en hambre,   /   and your forests to hunger,
y tus hombres en tierra.   /   and your men to soil.

África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
tus cantos lejanos...   /   your distant singings...
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...
ahora están muertos...   /   are dead now...
ahora están muertos.   /   are dead now.
África... África...   /   Africa... Africa...

Lyrics:

Star of wonder
Star of royal beauty bright
Shine your light on earth below
Guide the way

For a King
Wise men bring their gifts of gold
Sweet perfume and precious oil
Holy anointing

Gloria, gloria...

Empty handed
Can I come just as I am?
Or like a shepherd, bring a lamb?
A humble offering

Gloria, gloria...
In the heavens
Gloria, gloria...
Gloria

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Christ the Lord (So we sing gloria...)

Gloria, gloria...

Peace to earth

And on Earth, Peace

Voyage

Continuing the trend of compositions featuring mallets, though this time the mallet instrument gets to be part of an ensemble (and a longer song)

The Wrong Birds

A Pill-Sized Piece

Moment One

I didn’t care whose voice it was
I’m captive and a slave
Bright and pure shines her star
Upon that glorified guitar
Until we came to Spenlow’s grave

No pausing on the brink
I was gone
No time to even think
Fallen headlong
From moment one

Enough wrung out of me to drown
A fellow moonstruck clerk
Steeped in a sea of soup and sound
Bite the key to my carpet bag
Distinguish in the dark

Weak infatuation, maudlin mind 
Celestial blue
Saturated through and through
Turn into a room close at hand
The empress of my heart

Many thanks to Steve Pumphrey for playing the guitar solo on this recording.

Moment One

A couple of months ago, Rodolfo Planes from Tierra del Fuego sent me a wonderful piece of music (in a different key and without lead guitar) that he hoped I’d write lyrics for… 
I was so excited that the first verse popped into my head almost straightaway, and with great patience and honesty, Rodolfo lead me through the learning curve that would be the gestation of this song.
The passionate music somehow stirred in me a sense of longing and belonging, combined with the enforced isolation from loved ones during lockdown. I think Rodolfo’s music helped me express this powerfully.
His solo still continues to move me even after countless listens. I am very grateful to him for this opportunity and I sincerely hope we can work on other projects. 
Thanks for listening and please check out Rodolfo’s cloud if you can.

https://continentalcollision.bandcamp.com/track/set-me-down-that-road

I know where I’m going,
Though I don’t know where I am.
My drive ain’t slowing,
If it’s Birmingham, Alabam.
Gotta get me on the road,
Back to where I’m coming from,
Might not have the zip code,
But I know where I belong. 
I know, I know, I know that I belong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I know what I’m missing,
And where I might find it.
Without even reminiscing,
I’m right back there, I admit.
Close my eyes, and I’m there,
Though in reality,
I’m still stuck in elsewhere,
And I’m the absentee.   
I know, I know, I know that I’ve done wrong.
It might take me some time,
But I’m on my way already.
Set me down that road.

I’ve been uninvited,
Yet I felt compelled to come
A need to be reunited,
Whatever the outcome.
This prodigal believes,
In the error of his ways.
He vows that he’ll never leave,
Where his hat now he lays
I know, I know, I know that I’m back home.
It has taken some time,
But I feel at home already.
I’ve been down that road.

Heavenly creatures
descending it seems –
the sea of spring

Matsunaga Teitoku (1571-1654) was an early haikai poet and founder of the Teimon school of poetry, which aimed to make haikai accessible to a wide audience while striving to make it a respectable literary form. A task ultimately accomplished by Bashō.
