Mysteries

Treasures, Precious Items or whatever...

Precious items are always rare? Everything that is rare is also precious? Precious stones, gold, oil. But what about life? Is it not the most precious thing we possess? The love we can give to others? We cannot live by gold, gems, oil and money alone. We cannot accumulate riches if the heart remains cold, extinguished. I, at least, cannot. 

Jeff Bezos is able to fly into space, but is he happy doing so? Does he realize that with this single flight he has emitted about as much carbon dioxide (seventy-five tons in words!) as the poorest families in this world do in their entire lives?

I don't accumulate wealth because I don't make it in the first place! I should build up "reserves," save for times of need, my government says. We are all already suffering hardship...for a long time! The gap between rich and poor is already held by others. This little song should reflect my thoughts, my worries, but also hope. Of course I produce in this moment - and also during composing - CO2, consume electricity for my computer, my keyboard. However, I try to compensate this by consciously doing without other things. But I will NOT renounce the most precious treasures of our life: love, life and hope.

Rendezvous

La Porta stretta

Improvviso / il sonno /
l'attimo /
la Porta stretta /
quella che non ti aspettavi /
la luna è piena / velata /
sembra rovescia /

è un'allucinzione /
è la stessa che guardavi /
che altri guarderanno / 
che ancora guarderai / 
da un'altra te /
nel suo andare lento / 

non hai forza di interrogare le ombre /
le segui e ti confondi in loro /
muori e rinasci /
nell'atomo di un astro /
l'unica certezza che scorre in te /

immensa eredità di un Soffio. 

@Lorena Ulpiani - poesia tratta da Navigando l'ignoto

The Narrow Gate


Sudden / the numbness /
the moment /
the Narrow Gate /
the one you did not expect /
the moon is full / veiled /
she looks upside down /
a hallucination /
she is the same one you were looking at /
the one others will look at /
the one you will look at from another time /
from another life /
in her slow going /
you have no strength to question shadows /
you follow them, and you get lost in them /
die and be born again /
in the atom of a star /
the only certainty that flows within you /
the immense inheritance of an unknown Breath.

The inner boundary (The narrow Gate) / La porta stretta

Unsettled Minds is a sweeping collection of orchestral adaptations that transform Beethoven’s Appassionata themes and beyond into symphonic meditations for restless souls. Each movement embraces turbulence and tenderness: brooding strings hover on the edge of silence, woodwinds whisper with searching fragility, and brass resound with fateful grandeur. Expanding Beethoven’s architecture into Rachmaninoff-like romantic musings of lush textures and cinematic dramas that capture the beauty and unease of an unsettled mind — where moments of stillness are broken by storms of emotion, and melodies carry both torment and transcendence. 

Performed in the imagined voice of Europe’s greatest orchestras, this album is an invitation into a dream state where longing, unrest, and fragile nobility collide.

A small note on my own behalf: I have noticed that my playback figures have dropped dramatically. The statistics show that the number of playbacks has dropped from 2000 per week to just under 200.
On the one hand, this is frustrating, as everyone sees this as an indicator and confirmation of their work. On the other hand, figures are not particularly important, but one wonders what is wrong. In my opinion, SC has changed a lot, uploading tracks has become more complicated and constant security queries are annoying.
In addition, great artists are disappearing from the platform, partly by their own choice, partly because they have been banned, the algorithm has “recognized” them as spam and mercilessly deleted their account. I'm still a paying member, but my attitude towards this has changed...

Please let me know your experiences and impressions.

😮‍💨😔


When I don't have the time to actively listen to my favorite artists on soundcloud, I just leave the stream running...while washing up in the kitchen, for example 😆

By the way: this user-92853963 was my old link address and leads to the empty.... I AM NOT A ROBOT!

********************************************************************

A long, long time ago, there was an organ in the Christmas-decorated living room in his parents' house, where Frank grew up. Originally bought by his father for his two older siblings, they showed no interest in playing the organ. Frank, however, did. White and black keys and giving off strange sounds. 

So at the age of 9 he began to let his fingers circle on this instrument, searching for the right keys like on a typewriter. And another 9 years would pass before he could buy his first own instrument. Already at the age of 13 he made notes about the then current synthesizers, bought one magazine after the other and visited music fairs in Frankfurt, Germany.

His first keyboard was the Yamaha DSR-2000, which he bought in a music store near his hometown Biebertal. In installments! Finally he could develop himself further - away from the limited tonality of the small organ. The built-in 8-track sequencer helped him to reach unimagined heights. 
Little by little his equipment expanded and his ambition to create music like that of Jean-Michel Jarres came closer. Influenced by this and countless other musicians of the time, his interest grew, but he taught himself everything. Not even having attended a music school or being able to read music at all, he wrote one song after another and recorded them on the only medium available to him at the time: audio cassettes.
Many of these recordings are unfortunately lost forever, because cassettes are and were not the best recording medium. He has to try to play many of his songs from memory. 

In 2007, he fulfilled a long-awaited wish: to buy a KORG. He had always wanted to own one, but with the latest synthesizers at the time of their release having a purchase price of over 6000 D-marks (the currency of the time in the 1980s and 1990s), that dream of owning one was far away. So in 2007 he bought a used KORG 01W/FD at ebay. And as before with the purchase of the Yamaha keyboard, a completely new world opened up to him.

In addition, there were expanders and sound modules from Kawai, Roland and Yamaha (K1m, SC-55, QY10). Six years later his enthusiasm for making music ebbed and rediscovered his hobby (which it always was and still is). In 2018 in April he decided to present his music to a wider audience and uploaded his first song on the platform soundcloud. Since that time, thanks also to the ever-evolving software, he continues to evolve, experiment and relive his times through music.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
