Hello people, 

Delighted to share this recently recorded Improvisation with my dear friend, guitarist Tim Elliot. 😊 It's been over 6 months since we recorded 'Autumn Jam' and several other tracks. But you can still hear most of them in the following Playlists @ 
https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/sets/looking-up    and 
https://soundcloud.com/gary-courtland-miles/sets/chilled-flowin

'Covid' and one thing or another kept us apart for it seemed an age, but finally... we were able to get together in Tim's living-room around a Stereo Microphone and get back in the saddle to resume our musical conversation.  😊 And btw, that's me on his Upright Heintzman piano. 😎

And yes, it's a long jam... 
But... hey, there are plenty of surprises throughout as tones and patterns rise to the surface and sparkle for a while ✨ then transform again. So do finish the journey with us, for as we both humbly noted at the end, "There's some good stuff in there." 😉

May you enJoy! 😎

So Good To Jam Again _ an Improv with Tim Elliot

In the Siebentischwald/Augsburg the new tawny owl babies can be observed. The hungry young tawny owls wait eagerly each time for their mother, who provides them with all kinds of treats at midnight. When the mother arrives, there is always a loud cry from the babies. Deep in the background, the male tawny owls can be heard with their courtship calls.

Recorded : 25.05.2022, 12 pm.
Location: Siebentischwald, Augsburg/Bavaria - Germany

Hamlet's Mill [disquiet0554] short version

a little ditty:

spending some time on a wander
my mind
but it never made sense to me
spending some cash on another rash stash growing
vines up an apple tree
easy come
easy go
will you let me go
go
go to the chippy for tea
live a long
long lovely wander through a song
but it never made shit 
for me.
Shit
O' aye 
I eye
O' aye
I eye
O' aye
I eye
O' aye
I eye
it's about time
got a grip on my life
but it never made sense to me
money and worry
got to grip on my knife
cut the vines growing up on me
are you gonna show
gonna 
show 
show 
shout 
shout
shout to the tip of the teeth?
do a long long long
bucket or a
bong
gone
gone gone gone gone gone gone
Shit
O' aye
I eye
O' aye
I eye
O' aye
I eye
O' aye
I eye


O' aye, i eye

Disquiet Junto Project 0578: Rabbit Spirit Ally
The Assignment: Make music for Lunar New Year.

Step 1: Note that this year’s Chinese zodiac animal is the rabbit.

Step 2: Take the rabbit as your temporary musical spirit ally, and make music inspired by it. (Alternately, choose the Chinese zodiac animal of your birth year.)

Track notes:

Rather than use my Chinese year (the rooster), I stuck with the present and the rabbit as my inspiration for the prompt, coupled with a desire to continue working with Supercollider to compose my Junto pieces. 

With SC, it's business as usual and I'm still exploring the basics of SynthDef's and using buses, as well as a liberal dash of stereo spatialisation. I'm coming along with SC, but 'thinking in code' with music composition and not having a GUI to guide me along is still a challenging proposition. Still, it's coming along.

As for the rabbits, I composed this ominous piece by imagining the cavernous network of tunnels in a rabbit warren as the anthropogenic presence of many feet stampede overhead and electro-static frequencies permeate through the substrate. Well, that was the initial starting point,  then I began getting images of David Lynch's Rabbits shorts stuck in my head and, well..here we are.

Once again, I've popped the SC code up in my GitHub repository if anyone wants to check it out.

Three Romances for Orchestra
Composed between July-October 2023.

1. I lie here thinking of you [0:00]
2. I see a wild civility [4:59]
3.  When I die, I want your hands on my eyes [11:11]

Composed as a sequel to my Three Instances for Orchestra, the difference between these pieces and its predecessor is exactly in the title (despite the formal similarities: a moderately paced first movement, a fast second movement and a slow third). The Instances are more abstract in their content, besides being composed for a smaller orchestra. The Romances are more explicitly "amoureux", love-struck. 

I preface each movement with a line from a love poem. The first movement, based on "Love Song" by William Carlos Williams, is a yearning address from one lover to another separated by a great distance. The second, from "Delight in Disorder" by Robert Herrick, highlights the beauty of imperfection. The third movement, inspired by Pablo Neruda, brings the cycle to a full circle with death and acceptance.

Love Song – William Carlos Williams
I lie here thinking of you:—
 
the stain of love
is upon the world!
Yellow, yellow, yellow
it eats into the leaves,
smears with saffron
the horned branches that lean
heavily
against a smooth purple sky!
There is no light
only a honey-thick stain
that drips from leaf to leaf
and limb to limb
spoiling the colors
of the whole world—
 
you far off there under
the wine-red selvage of the west!


Delight in Disorder – Robert Herrick 

A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness;
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher;
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribands to flow confusedly;
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me, than when art
Is too precise in every part.


When I die, I want your hands on my eyes – Pablo Neruda 

When I die, I want your hands on my eyes.
I want the light and wheat of your beloved hands to pass their freshness over me once more.
I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny.

I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep.
I want your ears still to hear the wind, I want you to sniff the sea's aroma that we loved together,
to continue to walk on the sand we walk on.

I want what I love to continue to live,
and you whom I love and sang above everything else.
to continue to flourish, full-flowered.

So that you can reach everything my love directs you to.
So that my shadow can travel along in your hair,
so that everything can learn the reason for my song.
