Description: A quick composition with the idea of familiar sounds of coming home. Coming home, whether it's a person, house, neighborhood, or past-life friend is always emotional event boundary ... familiarity, disbelief, flood of memories ... it is precious. Home is where your heart is. Enjoy

Today, Saturday, 12 June 2021: "TANGO in CHEEK" ... a light-hearted ... but twisted musical scrapbook about complexities of life ... set into a tempo of fictional tango composition.

Tango, originating from the streets of 18th century Buenos Aires in Argentina and Montevideo in Uruguay, is known as being one of the more difficult dances to learn. The timing can be hard to master. What makes tango unique as a dance form is its embrace and use of improvisation.

“They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game” — R. D. Laing

My newest interpretation, just out of the oven. "Oi Jumala Siipeni Murtuneet" by Tapani Suonto &  Lyrics by Saima Harmaja. Translation below.

Oh God, take my broken wings into your wondrous hands.
I've flown too far, I've flown astray.
I've flown with victorious wings, through dazzling skies,
I've circled a thousand solar systems, seen every single heaven.
Now, on the border of the last heaven and the border of the land of death,
I tremble quietly no more and pray, pray only."

Rainy Tuesday Afteroon 12 Feb 2020

Music is the astounding, confounding, awe-inspiring, sometimes perplexing world of emotional soundscaping where every composer gets the same chromatic scale of 12 notes and arranges them in pleasant sequences and clusters along a timeline to convey emotions. And it’s stunning what musical storytellers like Vivaldi vs Stravinsky vs Lennon vs Los Incas vs Marley convey with exactly the same palette of 12 notes. Nourishing gifts to our brains ... as fMRI shows, the brain of a musician lights up and makes new connections like nobody's business. And Friedrich was bang on when he said ...

"Without music life would be a mistake." — Friedrich Nietzsche.

I had the good fortune to grow up in a very musical family, and cousins who are film composers ... car rides were filled with singing in three-part harmony ... and music ... with all kinds of instruments, duets, and especially choir singing, has been a huge part of growing up. 

At present, I am a composer, multi-instrumentalist, choir singer, and 'producer-in-learning' based in Toronto Canada with an interest in symphonic and cinematic composing for my own Micromovies (see my YouTube channel: bit.ly/2yyCwgw). Many simpler arrangements for flute, guitar, bass, and strings are on this site. I also have leaky-brain chromesthesia, a form of involuntary sound-to-color synesthesia ... I "see" music as colors, patterns and shapes. 

Cheers,
John Kumpunen
