I like the integration of natural sounds with the swelling orchestral textures.

c'è in giro da tempo una specie di 'nuova musica assoluta', astratta, che sta fra la cosiddetta 'ambient music' e la 'drone music', nei pressi dei cosiddetti 'soundscape' o, meglio ancora, degli 'innerscape' .. a volte ha tratti più 'cameristici', o addirittura per strumento solista, a volte è più 'sinfonica' .. a volte usa solo sonorità 'sintetiche', a volte invece anche strumenti 'tradizionali' .. ha antecedenti illustri, sia nella cosiddetta musica 'classica', diciamo storica, sia nella 'popular music' e nel jazz .. a quella soprattutto io guardo

"musica assoluta" (agosto 2019)

Naviar Haiku is a weekly challenge to create a piece of music based on a poem. See https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku/. This week's haiku is by Yamaguchi Sodo (fl. 1675):

I’m seeing the blue sea
The sound of drum has very softened
And Spring is in the air

For this one (my 5th) I thought I'd try something different from my usual electroacoustic creations. It's an orchestral piece - in 7/8 time - to celebrate springtime. Is it also a bit jokey? You can decide...

To Calmer Seas (naviarhaiku388)

A new track exploring a different sound palette to usual; for this I wanted to use largely brass instruments. A kind of post-rock brass band.
The lead brass instruments were Audio Modelling's SWAM Flugelhorn, French Horn and Trombone.

This week's Haiku is by Santoka:
Wind blows it's way to sea. Deep in night. Alone.

I took a different approach this week, layering up several sounds from my BS2. Streichfett, JP-8080, D-05, and Nord Piano so that they were playable from my MC2000 master keyboard, and then performing a live ad-lib using them, switching them in and out as I played.  I also used an unusual reverb on the BigSky to add more strangeness to the atmosphere. This is a single take, recorded direct from the mixer.

Song looking for appropriate verses and better singing (with Boson Spin)

track made in response to the Naviar Haiku music challenge http://www.naviarrecords.com/2019/07/31/naviarhaiku291-my-little-dragonfly-hunter

This poem was written by Fukuda Chiyo-ni and apparently it's about the death of her young son. With this piece I wanted to represent the sense of loss of the mother as I imagined her still looking outside, waiting for him to come back.

In these times II

"I'm a mellow artist, aging 67. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli amateurs, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
