Brunnurinn

Ég stefni að gamla brunninum
þótt ég viti að hann sé uppþornaður
þá samt kannski
kannski núna
kannski er hann núna búinn að fyllast af vatni.

Með hverju skrefi sem ég tek nær
minnkar tærandi þorsti minn
meðan minningin
skugginn af minningunni
skugginn af minningunni um dagdrauminn
um vatnsopann 
sem ég einu sinni næstum fékk mér
úr þessum brunni
 - eða var það öðrum
þessi skuggi af minningu fyllir mig af sælu

ég fæ vatn í kverkarnar
varirnar hitna og titra
mig svimar
aftan í hnakkanum
fæ fiðring frá tám upp í koll
með viðkomu á miðri leið

Sælan
Spennan
nær hámarki 
þegar ég stend með lokuð augun
við brunnbarminn

Ég opna hægt augun
og horfi niður í myrkrið
(allt er þurrt)
ég kasta steini niður
í von um að heyra
skvamphljóð
(allt er þurrt)
ég læt fötuna síga niður
en dreg hana tóma upp aftur
(allt er þurrt.)

Ég geng tilbaka
enn þyrstari en áður
með enn meiri löngun
enn meiri vöntun.

Daginn eftir
ætla ég að stefna í aðra átt
en svo stefni ég aftur að gamla brunninum
þótt ég viti að hann sé uppþornaður…

Dexter - Sunday Jazz (Pt. 2/ Mixtape)

over the last couple of years i’ve been making really really really quiet music to listen to when i do yoga or sleep or meditate or panic. i ended up with 4 hours of music and have decided to give it away.

you can download it for free here: http://moby.com/la1 or stream it for free on soundcloud. or you can get it on spotify, apple music & itunes & deezer & tidal.

it’s really quiet: no drums, no vocals, just very slow calm pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga and etc.

and feel free to share it or give it away or whatever, it’s not protected or anything, or at least it shouldn’t be.

thanks,

moby

another more ambient-to-bouncy techno type thing, from my ING>i.e> sideproject 
- which i'll be performing as, at the rotten planet tent at http://www.mannifestlive.com/ aug 2010 

.. this one, as it stands is unfinished - at the time i wrote it a year and a half ago, i was using an old 512Mb early Pentium4 machine with win 2000... and i wrote it, in Reason, as one continuous song that i just kept adding bits to and evolving it. until my ageing machine couldn't cope with playing it thru in the software, so i had to fiddle a bit, then render out the whole song [which took 10 min] - listen to it from almost the start [so i could hear the change in context] - then edit it some more...  eventually i gave up and bought a new machine... but i liked the song's unfinished nature... so here it is... in case anyone likes it, or any part of it :)

... i'll be playing some of the more bouncy bits as part of my ING>IE> set at mannifest in the isle of man in aug'

Original poem written for and recorded at "The Universe in Verse" (brainpickings.org/the-universe-in-verse/) – an evening of poetry celebrating science and the scientists who have taken us to where we are today, and a protest against the silencing of science and the defunding of the arts, with all proceeds donated to the Academy of American Poets and the Natural Resources Defense Council.
