Poem: Nikos Gkatsos.

Όταν την πόρτα μου χτυπήσεις κάποια μέρα
Τα παγωμένα θα κατέβω τα σκαλιά
Να θυμηθούμε λίγο λίγο τα παλιά
Που γίναν στάχτη και καπνός μες στον αγέρα

Όλα χαθήκαν κι η ζωή μας πήγε στράφι
Μας βρήκαν μπόρες μες στου κόσμου τη νυχτιά
Ποιος ξέρει η μοίρα στα κρυφά της τα χαρτιά
Τι άλλη απόφαση για μας τους δυο να γράφει

Ήσουν μια βρύση του ουρανού κι ήμουν μια στάλα
Πικρή μου αγάπη στα μπαλκόνια τα ψηλά
Μέρα και νύχτα κάναμ’ όνειρα πολλά
Μέρα και νύχτα κάναμ’ όνειρα μεγάλα

You Were a Fountain in the Sky (Nocturne 15 Oct)

You Were a Fountain In The Sky, Nocturne 15 Oct - Piano Solo

Lyrics:
1. A splendid wonder revealed to man,
A second heaven in Bethlehem,
A mystery shrouded in swaddling clothes,
In the bridal chamber, He finds repose.
Come, let us adore His birth.

2. The Holy Spirit descends as dew.
O earth, who sowed good Seed in you?
Without toiling, God’s vine bears fruit.
A plant from dry ground grows and takes root.
Come, let us adore His birth.

3. As budding branches, we raise our voice,
The heavens and earth together rejoice.
Our angelic praise shall never cease:
“Glory to God, on earth His peace.”
Come, let us adore His birth.

4. Blessings descend from realms beyond.
Arise and shine, for your light has dawned.
O all ye tribes upon the earth:
Gather, exult in awe and mirth,
Come, let us adore His birth. 

5. Eternity crosses the threshold of time:
a gate sealed shut, glorious, sublime.
He enters a Prince and emerges a slave:
The Ancient of Days as young as a babe.
Come, let us adore His birth.

6. Laid in a cave as from the sealed tomb
He proceeds forth from the virginal womb.
Firstborn from among the dead,
He bestows the riches of His Godhead.
Come, let us adore His birth.

7. Behold, the Virgin is with Child!
Both God and Adam now reconciled.
With men on earth, He deigns to dwell:
Our newborn King, Emmanuel.
Come, let us adore His birth.

8. Light of Light on us has dawned
enclosed within these virginal arms.
Fast asleep in His mother’s embrace,
Still from His Father’s throne, He reigns.
Come, let us adore His birth.

9. In the East, Your star shined bright,
Guiding the magi on this* luminous Night.
They found You nursing at Your mother’s breast,
O Bread of Life who feeds all flesh.
Come, let us adore His birth.

10. Life shone forth and was revealed,
a visible marvel, once concealed.
The magi offer Him their gifts:
The Word made flesh, now in our midst.
Come, let us adore His birth.

11. With the magi we offer oblations:
The bread and cup in adoration.
In the manger, the altar of sacrifice,
He gives His Body, the Bread of Life.
Come, let us adore His birth.

12. Receive God’s gift, all ye faithful:
Set upon this mystical table.
This blessed Night** He comes to us
and finds His rest within our hearts.
Come, let us adore His birth.

A Splendid Wonder (English Nativity Communion Melody on Ἀστὴρ μάγοις)

This mix is all music from 1984. It is a special live vinyl mix that I recorded on July 19, 2011 as a promotion for the A.D. (After Disco) series of parties here in Chicago.  The mix has been hosted for a few years on the Loves Podcast and I decided to upload it here to my Soundcloud for the first time.  Here’s a few words I wrote to go with the mix:  

1984 is an amazing year in music. At the time, "house" was still a colloquialism for the music played by Frankie Knuckles at the Warehouse. House was not yet a music form in its own right. "Fresh," on Vince Vince Lawrence’s fledgling label Precision, is the only house-qua-house track on the mix. The other tunes are properly considered proto-house -- the music which formed the milieu of dance music which we now describe (rather clumsily) as:

*Electro (e.g., Solo – “Girls, Girls” produced by John Robbie; JellyBean – “The Mexican”); 
*Garage (e.g., Circuit - "Release the Tension" a Timmy Regisford production; Colonel Abrams – “Music Is The Answer”); 
*Italo (e.g., Stop – “Wake Up”; Pancho Ballet – “Dancing Shoes”); 
*Synth and industrial dance (e.g., 52nd Street – “Can’t Afford” produced by New Order’s Stephen Morris; Palais Schaumburg – “The Beat Of Two” produced by Gareth Jones who also produced Depeche/Nitzer Ebb); and 
*Post-disco (e.g., Stephanie Mills – “Medicine Song”).

This music from 1984 is ‘proto’ in the sense that it was establishing the necessary elements of house – e.g., use of certain instruments (drum machines, synths, samplers) – but there are some stark differences.

Although much of the music in 1984 was released on small independents and remained quite underground, there were major successes for dance music at the time and investment in dance music by major labels. There was A&R structure at all record labels and radio play. "Trapped" (1985) by Colonel Abrams sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Earon’s “Land of Hunger” hit the top 40 on the soul singles chart. John “JellyBean” Benitez placed nine songs in the Top Ten of the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

The democratizing force that would be house music had not been fully realized. It was still expensive to make dance music. For example, most of the tracks on the mix feature vocalists, session players or a full band. Although the epic ensembles of the disco era had long passed in fashion and economic viability, dance records were still recorded in professional studios and engineered by individuals like Bob Blank and Herb Powers. The E-max Sampler hit the market in 1984, but the studio standard were samplers like the Fairlight and Synclavier (which had more than $100,000 price tags), each of which were prohibitively expensive for use by most musician/producers.

By 1984 the relatively inexpensive Roland gear was just finding its way into the hands of Chicago, Detroit and New York’s new roots musicians. A year before, Larry Sherman acquired Musical Product’s pressing plant, the only one in Chicago. Ron Hardy was playing "Penthouse and Pavement" by Heaven 17 and "DumDum" at the Music Box. Dance music was about to fall off the edge, for better and for worse.

VOS 025
A voyager’s warm journey in his winter’s tale. 
A tale inspired by a dream. 
A dream composed of organic textures within multi-layered sounds of nature.
A nature designed to awaken a mellow soul.

Vocal Extract:
«Ἀπολείπειν ὁ Θεός Ἀντώνιον»
Σάν ἔξαφνα, ὥρα μεσάνυχτ’, ἀκουσθεί
ἀόρατος θίασος νά περνᾶ
μέ μουσικές ἐξαίσιες, μέ φωνές –
τήν τύχη σου πού ἐνδίδει πιά, τά ἔργα σου
πού ἀπέτυχαν, τά σχέδια τῆς ζωῆς σου
πού βγῆκαν ὅλα πλάνες, μή ἀνωφέλετα θρηνήσεις.
Κ. Καβάφης

TABURO BOTA - ΜΑΡΙΛΕΝΑ

Bé ơi mơ gì thế em
mà sao đôi mắt em trông vào xa xăm. 
Cớ sao không nhìn thấy anh
từ lâu đã ngắm em xinh như 1 thiên thần. 

Ghét ghe ai cần biết anh , 
người ta đang ngắm muôn hoa vào mùa xuân 
Với bao nhiêu là ý thơ
bỗng anh làm tan ước mơ.

Người yêu tôi hỡi xin đừng nói câu hờn dỗi 
trong nắng xuân sang anh là gió em là nắng 
bay khắp dương gian cho mùa đông kia lụi tan 
để xuân huy hoàng ...


Mùa xuân đang đến cho ngàn sắc hoa rực rỡ 
cho đám em thơ vui đùa mới trong ngày mới 
Cho lứa đôi ta muôn ngàn năm không rời xa 
và tình càng thêm thiết tha.

Ngất ngây trong tình đắm say, 
người yêu anh hỡi ước mơ gì hôm nay
Ước mơ em nhỏ bé thôi 
cầu cho thế giới vui trong an bình muôn đời

Chắc em cũng từng ước ao
rồi đây ta sẽ đón xuân nơi miền trăng sao 
Ước mơ em thật lớn lao
mơ đôi mình đừng dối nhau...
