Next up in this experimental series of compositions that I named ''...inspirations...'' is Sahasrara. Almost three years ago this incredible work of art by @samuelfarrand called Sahasrara popped up on my Instagram feed and I immediately started hearing sounds that made the circles on the picture pulsate in my imagination. Since I didn't know if I should go ahead and make it a very short-form composition, I left this idea. Recently, Samuel Farrand uploaded this picture again. I felt a huge need to finish the music, so here it is.

As I mentioned earlier, these are the sounds of raw inspiration with little to no later organisation of music materials which represent the unique energy of visual works by awesome, enormously talented people that are in tune with their intuition so much, in the most beautiful ways, that my own intuition picks up the information in the form of sound so easily. More pieces will be uploaded and then I'll go back to just enjoying the artworks and controlling the urge to immediately compose to them, since I was recently questioning myself: is it ethical to just 'take' one's work and transform it to sound every time I feel like it, even though I contact the artists I was inspired by? but this sure helped me develop my composition and intuition skills, so thanks to all artists for their incredible work! It also helped me try something new by investigating how far can I go with the understanding of inspiration, thus creating this little series that brings me a lot of fun and that I love working on. Nevertheless, I think that more of us should try more frequently to connect our own talents with the ones of other people, because in that way, we're connecting with them on a deeper level and learning so much. Someone will maybe paint a picture while listening to my music (and please do!) and learn something new while doing that, just as I have learned so much by transforming these superb works into music.

Much love and thank you!

Cirkelloop, poem by Albert Verwey

Ik ben een vonk die doelloos, richtingloos,
Geworpen in 't heelal mijn vaart begon,
Toen bond me aldra aan zich een andre zon
En wentlend leef ik ongemeten poos,

Een kern van leven, in zichzelve voos,
Vol van de kracht die in en rond mij spon.
O dat ik zonder weten eeuwig kon
Wentlen in de onbegrepen stralenroos.

Oneindge wereld, onvoltooid heelal
En onbegonnen, maar waarin elk deel
Beeld van het heel is en een lichtgespeel

Langs de eeuwge banen, zeg, zal eenmaal, zal
Ooit zijn het eind van uw gestage brand,
Gij diamant in 't holle van een hand?


Cycle

I am a spark without goal, without direction,
Thrown into the universe as my journey began,
Before long another sun bound itself to me
And turning I lived for an unmeasured while,

A kernel of life, empty in itself,
Full of the energy that around me spun.
O that I could without knowing for centuries
Turn within the ungrasped radiating rose.

Endless world, unfinished universe
And without beginning, but where each part
Image is of the whole and a lightshow

Along the eternal ways, tell me, shall once, shall
Ever there be an end to your steady fire,
You, a diamond in the hollow of a hand?

The album ''Sound representations of colors and patterns - Hilma af Klint'' is inspired by Hilma af Klint's paintings. The main goal was to represent all the colors and patterns in her art intuitivelly, and then mathematically and geometrically in a way that suits best the nature, intensity and imaginative movements of those. Some tracks are even shaped like some of her patterns! A little of practiced synesthesia was used here to achieve the etherical and spiritual character that has a main role in Hilma's art. These pieces are strictly experimental, meaning that not only did I experiment with sounds, but also with their relations (i.e. listen to Hilma 10 and look at the picture. Sine waves have pauses that represent the spaces between the lines of the yellow spiral.) and my own intuition and inner hearing. Since I said that this is an experimental album, in some pieces the blue is represented as water, in some it is tone G etc. and some pieces lack some elements = better sound, easily distinguish one sound from another; some have all of them combined = the experience of looking at the whole picture - imagine that every thing you look at produces sounds only when you look at them, you firstly look at the whole picture, and then analyse its parts (this applies mostly to Hilma 3, where I presented the whole picture, and then separated combined sounds into individual pieces for you to hear what I heard by looking at them). All sounds are created and produced by me. Looking forward to having a remastered version someday, since I'm planning on having higher quality mixing and mastering for sounds to sound better (and certainly without background noise).
