On my second listen to this beautiful work. The scoring is exquisite, delicate and meditative. I think Kevin has the better of it saying it reminds one of the Barber Adagio.

So beautiful, warm and deep! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Love the expansive opening and the slow swell of strings that promise a full realisation but leave me wanting. The title is very apt.

I heard Erik the Flutemaker describe how he imagined how the pre-historic man first came up with the flute concept.
He imagined a group of early humans living near a forest, occasionally weird sounds would come from the forest that scared them into running away, until a inquisitive ancestor ventured into the forest in search of this unworldly noise .
He found a bamboo that fell ,the little forest bugs ate the inside of the bamboo as it is soft and eventually decomposition made holes in to the bamboo.
Occasionally when it was windy and the wind blow from a certain angle its created a note, a sound.
And that ancestor of ours tried to understand the concept of wind, hollow bamboo with holes...
And maybe this was the way that the flute was born...
I loved that vision and when I saw this art work, it reminded me of this story and my creativity started to develop ...
Erik is a master flute maker, he makes All kinds of amazing flutes, please visit his site, it will bring you joy... https://eriktheflutemaker.com/

For Tom and Ela

The Bamboo and the Wind

This one started out as 2 different incomplete projects (in different keys) after failing to fully actualize either I thought I'd fuse the 2 into one piece with lyrics that touch on longing and loss.

Into the crystal light
a deep and satisfying sight
then I'm in your arms once more

Over the distant range
a tale that never wants to change
can you see it now, with me

Under a mystic spell
the ole familiar parallel
to be in your arms again

After the driving rain
the landscape never looks the same
now I'm back again this time

We will remember
never surrender
We will remember now

Once we discover
Love in forever
we'll make it through somehow

We will remember
never surrender
We will remember now

Into the crystal light
a deep and satisfying sight
then I'm in your arms once more

In Your Arms

Lingering Echoes – The Cathedral 
July 2023
Duration: 3:50
Fascinating sonic places that provoke lingering memories. 
Photo of the interior of Notre-Dame de Paris 
Special thanks to John-Marc Ventimiglia @john-marc-ventimiglia for for his highly valued musical input and for creating the “The Cathedral ” sound library used to compose this piece.
This is a Guillaume de Machaut, Messe de Nostre Dame remix with original composition.  Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300–1377), a French composer and poet, composed this piece before 1365. Widely regarded as one of the masterpieces of medieval music, Machaut composed this Mass for the Cathedral of Notre-Dame at Reims.

This is a dedication to all the incredible cathedrals around the world that stand as some of the world's greatest achievements of art and architecture; whether you are believer in religion or a non-believer.  The ancient cathedrals of England, of Northern France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Germany and Sicily, the Baroque cathedrals of South America, and many individual cathedrals from Italy and other parts of Europe, are among the largest and finest buildings.  Many are renowned for their architecture or their decorative features such as sculpture, stained glass and frescos.

Many cathedrals, because of their large size and the fact that they often have towers, spires or domes, have until the 20th century, been the major landmarks in cities or in views across the countryside. 
Because many cathedrals took centuries to build and decorate, they constitute a major artistic investment for the city in which they stand. Not only may the building itself be architecturally significant, but often houses treasures such as stained glass, stone and wood statues, historic tombs, richly carved furniture and objects of both artistic and religious significance. Moreover, the cathedral often plays a major role in telling the story of the town, through its plaques, inscriptions, tombs, stained glass and paintings.

For organ, alphorn, alpine trombone, english horn, bassoon, flute, tubular bells, timpani, cathedral sound samples, virtual instruments and percussion.

We stayed up very late then took the flight from Kyoto 
The blossom on the wind the artificial sky reminded us of something

Oh did you hear that a storm is coming 
Oh did you hear that we were making plans

That girl said she was you when you were in that noise art band
 But it was hard to tell if she was really real or just another ghost

The shadows on the wall 
The clinical blue light 
The trouble's hidden in my heart

I'm watching from above it's like we're in a TV show
 We're standing on a bridge the mountain in the distance like a Hokusai

Lamento

Fallen" tells the tale of an elvish hero, once revered across the vast forests of Eldoria. Struck down in his prime, his spirit haunts the ancient woods, where the leaves whisper his name with reverence and sorrow. This track invites you into a world draped in twilight, where the echo of his valorous deeds resonates through the silent glades, a haunting reminder of a glory lost and the eternal hope of redemption that stirs the hearts of those who remember. "Fallen" is an ode to the undying spirit of a hero who once walked among the stars.

Fallen

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
