Pinocchio
V1:
He don't understand the why
Lies are what he does
Doesn't know what's wrong or right
Just hangs onto what he wants

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

CH:
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio
Didn't want to see me go
When he didn't mean it to hurt
How can lies hurt me so
Guess he's never heard of Pinocchio

V2:
He don't understand my pain
Been this way his whole life
Always wants it his way
Brings the darkness to light

And I am his her
I've spoken all the words
How could I
Leave him in the lurch

Chorus

BR:
I'm walking away now, but he can't believe
That I could give up on promises and leave
But he doesn't remember his promises to me
Guess he's never seen Pinocchio

Chorus out

Direct image of a supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87

On April 10th 2019, the world saw the first-ever image of a black hole, as an international team of researchers from the Event Horizon Telescope project released their look at the supermassive black hole. 

This black hole captured by the telescope lies 55 million light-years away, at the heart Messier 87, a supergiant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Virgo. At 6.5 billion times bigger than our sun, it is unimaginably supermassive—the surrounding circular field of electrified gas or plasma captured in the image measures about 30 billion miles across, or four times Pluto’s orbit.

Paradoxically, despite their light-swallowing capability, black holes are the most luminous objects in the universe. Material — gas, dust, shredded stars — that falls into a black hole is heated to millions of degrees as it swirls around the drain of doom in a dense maelstrom of electromagnetic fields. Most of that matter falls into the black hole, but some is pushed out, by enormous pressures and magnetic fields. How all of this energy arises and is marshaled remains unknown to astronomers. 

The singularity at the center of a black hole is the ultimate no man's land: a place where matter is compressed down to an infinitely tiny point, and all conceptions of time and space completely break down. And it doesn't really exist. Something has to replace the singularity, but we're not exactly sure what.

SIMULTANEOUS MULTIPLE FREQUENCIES OF DISTINCTION

2nd single from Norwegian pianist and composer Ole-Bjørn Talstad's upcoming record Ferd. This is a delicate and reflective piece entitled Motbakke, but it has a deeper meaning.

"Sometimes life feels like a constant uphill struggle, never reaching the top, always new hills to climb. But that’s how we evolve... This song is an ode to the process/work/struggle/hard-times and a reminder to try and look for the joy and beauty in it."

You can listen to Motbakke on your favorite platform, right here: moderna.lnk.to/motbakke

The Pillars of Creation
November 2022
Duration: 3:10
Part of Cosmic Soundscapes II https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/cosmic-soundscapes-ii
For harp, piano, celesta, virtual instruments and percussion.
These towering tendrils of cosmic dust and gas sit at the heart of M16, or the Eagle Nebula. The aptly named Pillars of Creation, featured in this stunning Hubble image, are part of an active star-forming region within the nebula and hide newborn stars in their wispy columns.

Although this is not Hubble’s first image of this iconic feature of the Eagle Nebula, it is the most detailed. The blue colors in the image represent oxygen, red is sulfur, and green represents both nitrogen and hydrogen. The pillars are bathed in the scorching ultraviolet light from a cluster of young stars located just outside the frame. The winds from these stars are slowly eroding the towers of gas and dust.

Stretching roughly 4 to 5 light-years, the Pillars of Creation are a fascinating but relatively small feature of the entire Eagle Nebula, which spans 70 by 55 light-years. The nebula, discovered in 1745 by the Swiss astronomer Jean-Philippe Loys de Chéseaux, is located 7,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Serpens.

Eerie Woodlands

"Am Hauptbahnhof zu Berlin bei Nacht"

we very, very, very
very much exist right now
don't know why, no-one know why
barely, barely, barely know how

it's scary, scary, scary
just thinking about this
what all we all gotta do right now
to earn the fact we exist

run, run you can't escape the past
worry, worry but you can't predict the future
time runs the tightest slaughterhouse
your neck is bare no matter how cute you are

so play truant for a day and find an ocean shore
sit with a friend like you're on the cusp of something
every moment's your arrival
your mind's the blood this callous Universe is pumping

every breath in is your ocean shore

[ Chorus: repeated ]

take, take you can't take it with you
don't build your house on rocks that can crumble
(all the rocks will crumble)
there will always be a lot left to do
that's where you need 
a younger pair of feet
for when you stumble

so just show up for every huddle
and every photo spiked with sorrow
that's why they call them rolling hills
like you and me they won't be here tomorrow

every breath out is a ripple already gone

[ Chorus: repeated ]

you can have the name of a saint
and body of a porn star
you can have a lot of cabinet space

you can score your dream role
entertain us all even get an Oscar
there's still only one way to bow out
so let's not count the ways...

let's just count the times we've been touched
by someone or something we love

[ Chorus: repeated ]

The Cosmic Hourglass

Part of Cosmic Soundscapes II soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/sets/cosmic-soundscapes-ii
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for creating the “gliss” program that is used to create the outline of the hourglass shape and short glisses in this piece.
For harp, strings, flute, virtual instruments and percussion.
The James Webb Space Telescope  spotted a blazing cosmic hourglass filled with vibrant colors and hiding a fledgling star, or protostar, at its heart. The blazing formation within the Taurus star-forming region and the protostar within it has been hidden to telescopes by a dense, dark cloud of gas and dust.

The protostar the image centers around is hidden from view in the neck of a dark, hourglass-shape cloud of gas and dust. The dark line across the middle of the neck is a protoplanetary disc — dense gas and dust that could form a planet in the future — about the size of our solar system.

The Cosmic Hourglass

A spicy collaboration between the two great minds of MrMules and the Ultrasonic Pest Repellent.  Huge thanks to MrMules for working with me.  I had a lot of fun working on this, and could not have done it without him.  Here are the links to his pages:

The Demon Drink - MrMules collaboration

What an honor to add my acoustic guitars to this collaboration with ace electric guitarist, keyboardist, and producer Seagull, Soundcloud's Poet Laurette Peter, Soundcloud's Poet of the piano, Debra Buesking, and vocalists Clara, and Snowflake.  With this visionary and epic trilogy, we explore the human condition and the choices we must make that will determine our destiny as a race.  It is a longer work but a rewarding listen if taken as a whole, but can still be appreciated in smaller bites if time doesn't allow a nearly 16 minute commitment.  The first segment is "Lost" until 4:55, "Lament is from 4:56-10:14, and "Ghost of a Dragon" until the end.  
To experience the full impact of the "trilogy", one must see Seagull's superb and deeply moving film with "Next Choice" as the soundtrack; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCA7MZSvEwI

Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia https://soundcloud.com/john-marc-ventimiglia for creating the panning program that was used to compose the movement of instruments in the sound field.
The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes.
For virtual instruments and percussion.
