a wonderful hypnotic ebb and flow between beautiful ambience and spooky foreboding

A bit of an industrial twist in the series. :)

Haunting future-dystopian mood on this one. And the change into a more ethereal outro is an intriguing shift in sensitivities. Love this series. :)

TAFFETA | Part 53

Through the haze
Written by TJG May 2023
Trying for a vintage jazz sonic.
Thank you for listening.


Through the haze

Tell me one more time
what’s on your mind
I hear the rain
These are stormy days

Late nights at the cold front
I see you
Through the haze

Wake up, Wake up
Somethings brewing
In your mind

Tell me one more time
What changed your mind
I feel your pain
These are lonely days

Late nights at the cold front
I see you
Through the haze

Late nights at the cold front
I see you
Through the haze

Wake up, Wake up
Somethings brewing
In your mind

Wake up, Wake up
Somethings brewing
In your mind

Wake up, Wake up, Wake up, Wake up
Tell me what’s on your mind.

I am excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from a Pablo Neruda poem about Easter Island, "XXII La Isla". This poem is from Pablo Neruda's "The Separate Rose", translated by William O'Daly. The Foundation of Pablo Neruda has granted permission.

XXII La Isla

Amor, amor, Oh separada mía
Por tantas veces mar como nieve y distancia,
Mínima y misteriosa
rodeada de eternidad, agradezco
no solo tu mirada de doncella,
tu  blancura escondida, rosa secreta, sino
el resplandor moral de tus estatuas
La paz abandonada que impusiste en mis manos 
El día detenido en tu garganta.

XXII The Island

My Love, my love, O separate one,
for so long sea like snow and distance,
small and mysterious, surrounded by the infinitive,
I am thankful not only for your lovely innocence,
your hidden whiteness, secret rose, but also
for the moral radiance of your statues,
for the forsaken peace you imposed upon my hands:
the day caught inside your throat.

This song was also performed live at "La Chascona", the former home and now museum of Pablo Neruda in Bella Vista, Santiago: youtu.be/vzz8tY0CYLk?si=ZfYIat6iL69p2FW4

"Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda as well as artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists: https://www.amazon.com/Canciones-Para-Pablo-Neruda-Spanish/dp/9564163218/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JV3fZn25wlYcYE3CfKo_ue-fx5JdUXB60a-hWwk205kXDQG20j2a39ntzMqHEkx3viRYPO82bPSZDVFqrJB0Ktv2SFa70Mpx30Y-oeBwc1BQrmYTopCWzqNa1jFZPzoYDn_DvSM1le70QritFcGLlAlKEe5jlzrHxk6CEpjSbXLV52LciGsetvGRc5-X0wUWjkJn4KDpoJZ8yoSdygz8U8t6STGLP0jtrLy0XHI81qU.hUSdYX9jFdVq5TBnQWaNA-H2v_m_nFe0A6ADmg40qBg&dib_tag=se&keywords=CANCIONES+Para+Pablo+Neruda&qid=1710717676&sr=8-1

From the album “Annual” - https://moodexhibit.bandcamp.com/album/annual

Mood Exhibit - Klid [Exhaled]

A mix of light and shade, Modulate Me is a Darkwave / Triphop soundtrack set to a steady mix of downtempo electronic / industrial beats. Droning wavy bass and rhythmic bass are married with dreamy guitars, celestial synths and abstracted samples. The track progresses to a final countdown, spoken by Buzz Aldrin on the Apollo 11 Lunar mission in 1969.
