fragilità che è intelligenza e sensibilità .. versi bellissimi e toccanti

Quand le mot se fait musique, le sens du mot prend vie. Merci pour ce si beau partage !

The music and repurposed voice samples are intended to reflect a sense of (something) slowly built over time.

'Giganti Rosse/Red Giants' reflects on what sacred may mean, the non-negotiable and radically vital choices of our life.

This sonopoem will be performed in Florence (Italy) by https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi during the Festival 'PAESAGGI SONORI URBANI'.

'What if this is the time 
the non-negotiable self, the sacred.
The line we already crossed.
Nothing is more real than the wind 
in the winter when it cracks the skin and
clenches the throat, when it forces 
each frequency.
On the riverbank, it lashes 
the floodplains and then it pauses.
You told me about these years
the fatigue, and I do nothing
but ponder over our presence.
Where have we been? What are we
bringing along? History is
a tale within a tale 
a series of omissions, hypotheses
and mitigations. 
And we may desecrate remembrance
and contaminate our becoming
but the urge to outlast the death
of the sun slams us. 
Massively entrenched in the anxiety 
to get lost, evolving away from
the main sequence like red giants.  
A few decades down the line
we will meet, I will sit down across 
from you and I’ll ask once more
do you know my name?' 

'E se fosse questo il tempo, il sé
non negoziabile, il sacro.
Il confine ormai oltrepassato.
Nulla è più vero del vento in inverno
quando taglia la pelle e serra
la gola, quando forza le frequenze.
Sull’argine sferza le golene
e poi si arresta.
Mi hai detto della fatica di questi
anni, e non faccio che pensare
alla nostra presenza. 
Dove siamo stati? Cosa 
ci accompagna? La storia è
un racconto nel racconto
una serie di omissioni, presunzioni
e attenuanti. 
E possiamo profanare il ricordo
e contaminare il divenire
ma la foga di sopravvivere allo spegnersi
del sole ci sbatte addosso. 
Radicata in modo massivo l’ansia 
di perdersi, uscire dalla sequenza
principale come giganti rosse.
Qualche decade più oltre
ci incontreremo, mi sederò
di fronte a te e ti chiederò di nuovo
conosci il mio nome?'

Disquiet Junto Project 0571: Child’s Play
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a nursery rhyme.

I opted for "Fuchs Du hast die Gans gestohlen" (Fox you stole the goose), a German nursery rhyme from around 1824 based on an older folksong. Which seems to be, by what so ever strange reason, also very popular in Japan. It was written by Ernst Anschütz, whom you may know via "O Tannenbaum". Because I am just in love with some presets (yes) in Pigments, which use wavetables based on the MicroQ I once had (for the interested ones: Playhugger Microns https://www.plughugger.com/pigments-microns.html ), I currently do everything with these pads, and the results may be doubted. Anyway, I went for a slow ambient pads arrangement of this song, using only the original melody material plus some probabilities. At the end it did not sound like a lullaby at all (and does not say anything about nursery rhymes), but I liked it very much for what it is. At one point I added some sweet bells and stuff, but I always went back to this somehow brutal and unkrakenkrafty version.

Fuchs Du Hast Die Gans Gestohlen [disquiet0571]

It was a pleasure working with Andreas Kitzmann's track https://soundcloud.com/andreas-kitzmann-27370936/disquiet0591, thanks @andreas-kitzmann-27370936!

With such gorgeous material, there wasn't much more to do than plug in my acoustic and play the guitar into the Chase Bliss Mood (so may not be immediately recognisable as guitar, apart from a bit at the end that I left relatively straightforward). Some minimal flavouring of the reverberating & delaying kind, with the dosage slightly higher for the purer acoustic sounds towards the end. 

The Tête-à-Tête pic taken at Tate Modern London seemed very appropriate for this week's assignment.

Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend

How the sounds were created might best be described as follows: 
- Recorded 5 polyrhythmic guitar tracks (in 3, 4, 5 and 7) live, over the entire duration of the track ~3.5 minutes
- Disguised them, only allowing each to come to the fore occasionally
- Added up-front metallic sounds, single hit percussion and a bassy pad
- Mixed those ingredients to allow different aspects to shine in turn.

Thanks @disquiet and @tobiasreber for this inspiring prompt!

Poetry, Field recording and the Human Human

'I use this space to offer an experience of Sonopoetry, the voice of verses combined with field/sound recording and music collaborations.
Writing and composition marked the passage from pre-history to history for human beings. I firmly believe that writing&listening (active care/empathy and full attention to each and every sound from each and every living and non living being) could inform, guide and represent the Posthuman era that I'll call Human Human era -from sapiens sapiens to human human.
The contemporary alliance between the disciplines of Art, Science and Philosophy elicits the conceptualisation of the Posthuman that to me also implies the transition from the Anthropocene to the Age of Art as a driver of thought and vision. I advocate the responsibility to assign a 'more than human' meaning to the Posthuman concept, that's why Human Human, in order to emphasise the human core, the genetic connection to bio and non-bio diversity as per the Biophilia Hypothesis.
Are we listening?'
