DAVID BOHM: On Dialogue [audiobook], & other related texts...

Study nº 8 (Molto moderato) from Bozza's 16 Studies for trumpet published by Alphonse Leduc in 1950 (composition date unknown).

Gregorian chant is the inspirational source for this short and beautiful work.
My version transposes it a whole tone up and I use an F-bass recorder by Küng + bell hole key by Daniel Bernaza.

THIS IS PART ONE of an audiobook I'm making of David Bohm's (1917-1992)essential, ON DIALOGUE. It's intended for some of my friends and students, and all those interested in exploring nonviolence, ethics, the destructive and divisive nature of thought and thinking, in a serious, sustained way. Both alone, and collectively. I also feel strongly that such a dialogue circle forms the basis of a radically new performance practice in the Arts generally. 

In addition, I'm using ON DIALOGUE with my THEATER OF THE NEW project: SEE ON TWITTER at: https://twitter.com/theaterofthenew

DAVID BOHM: On Dialogue, part two

Diego Tedesco’s De los Sos Ojos was commissioned in 2022 and is an open score in which Cappa has enough freedom to display her histrionic virtuosity. Tedesco writes, “Distortion, nonsense and limits of comprehension are part of the work, and the multiple types of reverb add a layer of polyphony that complement and challenge the entire piece.”
It's part of the album "Una" by Argeninian soprano Natalia Cappa realized by New focus recordings (NY).

Part of the Festival of Sacred Music Series at The New School at Commonweal

Join us for the third in a series of sacred music celebrations at Commonweal, an afternoon duet of sarod and tabla with Manik Khan and Nilan Chaudhuri. 

Part of the Festival of Sacred Music Series

These concerts are presented in collaboration with long-time Commonweal friend Toby Symington, executive director of the Lloyd Symington Foundation and transpersonal astrologer. Held at the solstice and equinox, the concerts—and gatherings afterward—are designed to bring people together in a convivial setting around music which delights, inspires, and elevates the soul. From Toby:

Manik Khan has been steeped in the ancient melodies of North Indian classical music since birth. The youngest son of the legendary Sarod maestro, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, he grew up listening to his father in countless concerts and attending his classes at the esteemed Ali Akbar College of Music in San Rafael, California. He initially studied tabla under the guidance of Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, but the greater call to follow in the footsteps of his family brought Manik, at the age of 13, to formally train on the Sarod with his father. He spent his formative years accompanying his father on stage, touring for the last decade of his father's extensive and iconic performance career. Manik's own solo career has brought him throughout India, South America, and the United States.

Nilan Chaudhuri is a Bay Area based percussionist, educator, and performer. Initiated into the tradition of Indian Classical Music at the age of five by his father, Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri, Nilan has been performing as a tabla soloist and accompanist for nearly two decades. Drawing inspiration from his father’s innovative approach to classical tabla solo,  Nilan was determined from a young age to be a soloist. In addition to maintaining a rigorous performing schedule, Nilan teaches Tabla throughout the Bay Area as a faculty member at the Ali Akbar College of Music, in San Rafael, and as the Director of Percussion at Chitresh Das Institute, in San Mateo. He also serves as an archivist at the Ali Akbar College of Music, where the construction of a musical archive spanning 40 years of his Father’s work, is underway. It’s his lifelong mission to contribute to the preservation and enrichment of Indian Classical percussion.

Global drying, Gaia & Abrupt Change

Like turning off a noisy machine, the passive awareness of KINPERCEPTION suspends the disruptive habits of runaway self-centered thought. In the free, open space thereby created, a signature asymmetry of human nature becomes self-evident: that CORRUPTION is fast and easy: PURIFICATION, is slow and hard.

The main idea explored in this dialogue tape is that thought is merely an instrument. But because this instrument of thought has broken itself off from the vastly larger circle of awareness and consciousness, it generates the powerful illusion that thought is all there is. This mistake, and more importantly the ignorance there of, results in a steady stream of contradictions and conflicts. It is also a tremendous waste of energy. The crucial point is that a kind of passive, effortless, ongoing awareness can easily sense these disruptions—akin to overt physical pain—and thereby stop them before they happen.
