Almost There

Original music by: FPMORINSTUDIO/Francois Pierre Morin musician composer, maker of mood , photo from the window of the music studio last autumn 2023 in the morning.

FUSION LATIN JAZZ

I recorded the drums and electric bass guitar around 2012. Last year, I started to record it on a better system. After re-recording the drums several times and then reworking the multiple guitar parts, I decided to go with this version. It could change again before it's over...

Can't Stop, Won't Stop

Sometimes I See

The composition was inspired by the poem "Crossing the Water" by the American poet Sylvia Plath (1932-1963).

Crossing the Water

Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.
Where do the black trees go that drink here?
Their shadows must cover Canada.

A little light is filtering from the water flowers.
Their leaves do not wish us to hurry:
They are round and flat and full of dark advice.

Cold worlds shake from the oar.
The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes.
A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand;

Stars open among the lilies.
Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens?
This is the silence of astounded souls.

Crossing the Water

based on some loops, but I added:
string and pad synth, keyboard, drums + brass and synth solo blown with my EWI. Enjoy !

STEPAN
TaNezha x Six Four Zero Two

–
THE COLLABORATION
This is Collaboration of X6402  and TaNezha (Tetyana Nizhynska) who is a singer based in Kyiv, Ukraine 
The lyrics were written and sung by TaNezha, a capella, in the style of a traditional Folk song. 'Six Four Zero Two' created the music, responding emotionally to the story and mood: "I wanted the music to soar and weave fluidly around the constant that is the voice".

THE TRACK
‘Stepan’ is a story about the strength of a young girl whose partner goes off to war and is lost for some time. When the people eventually gather to hail the Cossacks triumphant return, he is not with them. The girl is forlorn and returns home where, she finds him waiting in the courtyard. A joyful return to love, peace and their homeland.

LYRICS:

Степан

Там у лузі межі лісу дівчина гуляла
Та шукала цілющії чебрець, м’яту й ружі,
Все співала: "назбираю для Степана зілля, 
Щоби був до віку сильний ворогів подужав.

А як вийшла серед степу, бачить - козаки
Йдуть великою юрбою всі домів до неньки 
"Ой ви хлопці, ой рідненькі, як я вам зраділа 
Де ж Степан мій де миленький 
Я б цого зустріла..." 

"Ой не знаєм, мила-люба, ми не слідкували,
Має бути десь зостався, ми не помічали"...
Розридалась дівчинонька та й пішла до дому... 
"Де ж Степан ти мій подівся, ой люблю до скону".

“Ой ви хлопці, ой рідненькі, хоч би повертались, 
Хай всі зникнуть вороженьки” - мила причитала, 
А як зайшла на подвірря - там Степан чекає,
Свою любу дівчиноньку радісно стрічає.

Stepan

I started making keys with Dm. Using 70's video game tones. However, as I was creating the saxophone solo using a piano roll, for some reason the melody and chords of Far East Asia increased and became more intense. Even if I'm making it, the dragon has control, and I have to make sure I don't anger him. The dragon lives in my heart.

Talk to a grumpy dragon (257)

I am so excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from the Pablo Neruda poem "Para Mi Corazón" in the book "Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair". Translated by W.S. Merwin. Permission has been granted by Fundación Pablo Neruda.

Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

This song was also performed live at "La Chascona", the former home and now museum of Pablo Neruda in Bella Vista, Santiago: youtu.be/vzz8tY0CYLk?si=ZfYIat6iL69p2FW4

Para Mi Corazón

Para mi corazón basta tu pecho,
para tu libertad bastan mis alas.                                                                                 
Desde mi boca llegará hasta el cielo                                                                                   
lo que estaba dormido sobre tu alma.

He dicho que cantabas en el viento                                                                             
como los pinos y cómo los mástiles.                                                                           
Como ellos eres alta y taciturna.
Y entristeces de pronto, como un viaje.

Acogedora como un viejo camino.                                                                                   
Te pueblan ecos y voces nostálgicas.                                                                              
Yo desperté y a veces emigran y huyen                                                                   
pájaros que dormían en tu alma.

Your breast is enough for my heart,
and my wings for your freedom. 
What was sleeping above your soul will rise
out of my mouth to heaven.

I have said that you sang in the wind
like the pines and like the masts.
Like them, you are tall and taciturn,
And you are sad, all at once, like a voyage.

You gather things to you like an old road.
You are people with echoes and nostalgic voices.                                                          
I awoke, and at times, birds fled and migrated
that had been sleeping in your soul.

Para Mi Corazón (Poem by Pablo Neruda)

Qu'y a t'il entre nous ? (What is it between us ? )

Hello dear Listeners,

Indeed, it's been a long while since Tim and I posted New Music together as  Shekinah Fire*, but today's the day!

This improvisation was recorded on the fly by our one Stereo ZOOM Mic on April 8th during the Solar Eclipse. 

I am on Tim's ancient upright Grand Piano and he's playing his Telecaster electric Guitar. What came forth as we played were Allelujahs for  the Joy of Spring and the wonders of improvisation.

In case you're wondering about the title, the jewel-like 'sparks' are visible  within the Sun's Corona 60 seconds before it reached Totality, and then as it exited (as captured in the Photo). They're called 'Baily's Beads' after the astronomer that first discovered and photographed them. 

We hope you'll hear the 'sparkles' as the music unfolds.

May you enJOY!
