This is great, and yes, the canines have pollen policy themselves. Nice work Ilaria.

I LOVE THE UTTER SIMPLICITY OF THIS - PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT

So cool, the wing flaps, the canine voices, the wind, all layers in your vocal substratum. Illuminating piece.

I really like the subtlety of the field recording underneath, and the visual with it.

'Pollens

They leave by detachment, one by one and in clusters, layering. A seeming fragility.
Pollen grains and their microspores are one of the most resistant substances in the plant world.
Under anoxic conditions, they linger in ponds and fens for thousands to millions of years.
They mirror the past in the future. A story of earlier vegetation and climate status. 
Pollens waft through me.  
They intersect my white and the flight of the mesmerising orange-blue kingfisher and bee-eater on the Bacchiglione. 
And in like manner, absence wafts through us. Fragile and resistant, our morphology gradually degraded. Walls and apertures to indicate our structure.
Lie down on the ground with me like a layer. The woolly soil teasels substratum and soles and moisture wets palms holding the leash.
It’s so windy lately. '

Pollens

So... I've been trying out the B-Standard tuning on the JSM-10 and I've really been enjoying it. Together with the Bluguitar AMP1 settings I've been using the lower string tension really allows for a very organic phrasing. Definitely using this sound on the record. 

I've also used the Vigier Excalibur (Shawn Lane Master) with the same amp settings to counter the boominess and woody-ness of the JSM-10.

The harmonic basis for the whole thing is a chordal idea I had while reading about in the book "A Theory of Harmony" by ERnst Levy. Some of the melody lines are based on a short fragment/theme I want to use with the chords

In case you've enjoyed this, you might also like my other original music on

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?'
