Description: Intro music for Fast N Floris Youtube channel.

This piece was born thanks to wonderful cooperation with Maurice Vaccari and Stefano Adda. Before the first quarantine in Italy we started to make music together and this was one of the very first ideas that we started to develop. When Covid came everything stopped and for me as for everybody else started a very tough moment. It took me exactly one year to establish the form of the piece and to complete this very rough production. A special thank is due to Giacomo Carrera who gave a huge hand in this production since he has been in charge of mixing the track a year ago and in the version I am sharing now. In my opinion the piece is not finished yet, but I couldn't hold my self to share this work with you at least as demo. More over I care to share this side of my compositional style which I'm still struggling to conjoin with the academic type of composition I'm used to do since more than 10 years. I presented this piece in a seminar of Laboratory of Composition in the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Lyrics:
In this night I suppose I have to watch your dark eyes
In this night I suppose I have to breath your sweet heart
Softly come with me to that intricate labyrinth
hold my hand tight and please don't let me fly away
I pray every day and night not to lose you

Now inside the sea the shark is feeling fear

He's swimming in the sea depths
alone with his fears 
Trying to reach a labyrinth of caves
full of his sad dreams
She's taking him there swimming along his side holding his hand
A sweet illusion to help him lighten the burden of his loneliness
    
Oh twilight is coming
I see the surface pierced by its light
It paints your trembling figure reaching out to me
But with all this pain your too far to reach
I'll keep sinking
without you

We reached the caves
Full of our sad dreams
We feed them with faint lights
Just enough to keep them alive
But I already know this
And my void becomes bigger   
As you look at me with fear
A shiver forces me to look up and wonder

How it could be to see you 
outside this cold sea
you're still upthere looking down for me
while I've been chasing the shadow of this illusion 
but now I'm tired I need to emerge

In this night I will not watch your dark eyes
In this night I will not breath your sweet heart
And I'll pray every day and night to never seeing you
Because you're just the worst part of me
And I want to change
She's trying to bring him down away from her
Trying to suffocate his need of light
Blood is spilled from both of them
But he won't stop he doesn't have nothing to lose 

Here I am coming up to you
Barely alive but I will use 
all I have to rise
to see you with my own eyes 
Coming up to you 
Struggling to not let go
I won't let go
Sunbeams are getting warmer
As you're becoming more real 
I'm afraid you could be just another illusion
Coming up to you
To see you with my own eyes
I'm not letting you go not now that
I can see your beautiful face 
I will hold your hand 
I won't let go you again

The piece is an extremely gradual and surreal odyssey from the "clouds" to the "earth" in both physical and metaphorical senses. The musical structure is based on a canon of 3 layers - strings and voices that are temporal and timbral opposition as ''instrumental'' and ''human'', and winds which have a position of the middle, being a ''breathing instrument'' and helping to connect two opposites creating a smooth ''thermodynamic'' transformation of the sound substance. Those 3 layers could remind of different water states in the hydrological cycle - liquid, vapor and ice and their cyclical conversion processes (evaporation, condensation, precipitation and infiltration) become in music transformation of timbre and harmony, the densification and clarification of micro-polyphonic texture, accumulation and dissollution of different layers, pulsation of dynamic crescendos-diminuendos, rising and sinking of macro register and micro intonations. The directions of these changes are guided by the progressive cyclical form where every cycle is longer in time and wider in register than previous, gradually embracing the maximum range from the highest possible violin harmonics at the begining to the lowest open string of contrabass at the very end of the composition, whilst the harmony is based on a continuous sequential sinking of a diatonic mode crossing the cycle of fifths at 3 different levels.

To all these acoustic processes the poetry by Knuts Skujenieks gives a verbal expression, poetic meaning and moves the work into almost sacral dimension. The content, however, remains only to the performers as the singers articulate only vocals of the poem to purify the verbal material masking the consonants as word attacks, which can be seen in the instrumental parts as well - all the notes the string and wind players produce start from the silence, reach the general dynamics and vanish into silence, creating the "underwater" pulsations, unifying the timbres and homogenizing the texture. The poetry of Skujenieks was chosen not only for its literal sense, but also for the poet's connections with Lithuania as a part of the historical, cultural and linguistic relationship of our two countries - very important for me and musically realized by continuous collaboration with Latvian artists. 

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth, and making it bud and flourish, so that it yealds see for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it". (Isaia 55:10-11)

Fifth track of almost automatic landscapes new album "transparency", available as a high quality download or cd digi-pack on bandcamp. aalmusic.bandcamp.com/album/transparency

video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYxhq3pkjcQ

"transparency" is intended as a continuous and constantly changing flow, a stratified sound object generated by synthesizers that try to evoke an indefinite "elsewhere" where new unpredictable meanings involving memory, time, dream, imagination, reality and unreality are created and made visible (and/or audible) by light shining through from behind.

"transparency" is an ambient album. No drum machines, no rhythm loops: just layers upon layers of sounds coming from synthesizers.

at any state
a pinnacle
showing off what you know
now I don’t hate
but I can have a tone
real cruel
just so you know 

you, you, you, you, you
get me so wrong 
you, you, you, you, you

got me begging for more
ah

how’re you the rare kind
to give me overthoughts
should now be the time 
to find my whereabouts
odd you have the right
have the right façade
is nothin at stake at all
my god

I’m holding on
to inner thoughts
I’ll be fine
I’ll be fine

go be gone
my sinner thoughts
stop bringing me down 
when you still get me wrong

you, you, you, you, you
still get me wrong
you, you, you, you, you

got me begging for more
more and more and more 
ah

how’re you 
the rare kind
to give me overthoughts
should now
be the time 
to find my whereabouts
odd you 
have the right
have the right façade
is nothin at stake at all

my god 
my goodness 
overthoughts

give in to me
you, you, you, you, you
you’re giving me overthoughts
