Псой Короленко. Слишком поздно

Big Louise

From the album, Not So Deep as a Well, available here: http://tunes.mamabirdrecordingco.com/album/not-so-deep-as-a-well

There was a rose that faded young;
I saw its shattered beauty hung
Upon a broken stem.
I heard them say, "What need to care
With roses budding everywhere?"
I did not answer them.

There was a bird, brought down to die;
They said, "A hundred fill the sky-
What reason to be sad?"
There was a girl, whose lover fled;
I did not wait, the while they said,
"There's many another lad."

The music of Sacri Cuori is a kaleidoscopic road trip through imaginary 60/70’s soundtrack music and post-folk sonics from Italy, Europa and beyond.

Sacri Cuori only half-jokingly calls themselves the bastard children of Fellini. 

Hailing from Romagna, Italy, the band is led by guitarist/producer Antonio Gramentieri and plays (mostly) instrumental, topographical music that mirrors the varied terrain of their experiences whether that be a Rimini beach full of nostalgia and desire or the barrens of the Mojave Desert in the dead of winter.

Their sound palette is defined by a moody, Adriatic twang, falling somewhere between the old time dance music of their native Romagna and Lynch’s Mulholland Drive; between vanished innocence and dark dreams of the future; between Santo & Johnny and Ry Cooder (or Brian Eno).

Of course Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota are also present, as are Riz Ortolani, Piero Piccioni, Piero Umiliani, Armando Trovajoli and other maestros of Italian film music’s golden age.

Over their previous three albums Sacri Cuori have created a sensuous cinematic ouevre that has led them towards live and recorded collaborations with an inspired cast of characters: Calexico’s John Convertino, Dan Stuart (Green on Red), Hugo Race (Bad Seeds, Dirtmusic), Robyn Hitchcock, Italian heroes Vinicio Capossela and Il Pan Del Diavolo. David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, James Chance, PJ Harvey producer John Parish and many others…

In 2014, Sacri Cuori composed and performed the original score for “Zoran - il mio nipote scemo”, a cult movie that received several major awards from the Venice Film Festival. The soundtrack itself was awarded “best soundtrack of the year” at the Est Film Festival.

Sacri Cuori - Delone

valet 'nature'

"Mazurek and company channel electric Miles, Sun Ra, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago to make a recording that is cosmic, spiritual, raw, and powerful."
– Avant Music News

“Inspired by years of living in Brazil, Chicago cornet player Rob Mazurek ... mixes jazz fusion influenced by Miles Davis’s early 70s output with Brazilian Tropicalia and electronica. The result is a psychedelic, spacey, multi-layered electro-acoustic trip; epic and, at times, intense and scary."
– The Jazz Breakfast

"I thought the whole band was exceptional. Very shocking, actually, to see how well they absorbed all of that Sun Ra influence and went on to do their own thing...they've absorbed all the things that are relevant so they can take all of that and make their own statement...they sound great to me."
– Amiri Baraka after hearing the music on Disc 1

Composer, cornetist, electronic & acoustic sound specialist and musical director Rob Mazurek leads his largest regular ensemble, the Exploding Star Orchestra through one of his most ambitious recordings.

While ‘Galactic Parables: Volume 1’ is a self-contained cosmos, marked by colliding melodic lines and startlingly beautiful passages, as the title indicates, it’s part of a larger work. Ever since Exploding Star Orchestra’s debut recording, Mazurek has been gradually building an epic science fiction opera inspired by the writings of Samuel R. Delany and Stanislaw Lem. With ‘Galactic Parables’ his vast speculative realm is coming more clearly into focus with an apocalyptic vision of alternate universes, machine reproduction run amuck, and the colonization of distant planets. ‘Galactic Parables’ “is the first record where we’re getting close to hitting on the libretto for this future opera,” says Mazurek, who by both inclination and geography is linked to a constellation of Chicago avant-garde pioneers.

Ultimately what makes the record so enthralling on both the flight into the cosmos and the return journey is that the Exploding Star Orchestra brings together a creatively charged cast of improvisers:

Rob Mazurek - cornet, electronics, direction (I/II)
Damon Locks - text, voice, electronics (I/II)
Angelica Sanchez - piano (I/II)
Jeff Parker - guitar (I/II)
John Herndon - drums (I/II)
Matthew Lux - electric bass (I/II)
Matthew Bauder - tenor sax, clarinet (I/II)
Chad Taylor - drums (I)
Guilherme Ganado - keyboard, samplers, synth, voice (I)
Mauricio Takara - cavaquinho, electronics, percussion (I)
Nicole Mitchell - flutes, voice (II)

All of these musicians have performed and recorded together under Mazurek’s leadership in various ensembles and configurations. In many ways, Exploding Star Orchestra is the mothership, the “conceptual, compositional and philosophical center of all my work.” Mazurek says. 
The band came together in 2005 when the Chicago Cultural Center and the Jazz Institute commissioned Mazurek to create a vehicle that could encompass the disparate styles and ideologies of avant-garde music unfolding in Chicago. Conceived as a one-off event, Exploding Star took on a life of its own, and has continued to evolve reflecting the transient nature of musicians’ lives. Each subsequent Exploding Star Orchestra project has featured an evolving cast of players. ‘Galactic Parables’ brings Mazurek one giant step closer to realizing his oversized vision.

The universe is a very big place. Rob Mazurek is doing his part to fill it with glorious sound.

As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds

All the visions of a muddled memory 
Fades beneath all the blurry stills

As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the buildings and grounds

As the pearly gates closing unforeseen
Swallowed up by the hands of time

And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning the tide into fiends
And all of the signs lead it in
It's turning and turn the tide to fiends

Often see you out there 
Mokelé-mbembe

As the white dreams go static by the winds
While it wipes all the trees and clouds

All the visions of a muddled memory 
Fades beneath all the blurry stills

Cracks are dawning cold under the skin  
Tremble all then seize and falls

Palms are laid out catching a trapeze
Falling off from this crooked mind

It rises it falls it calls u out
Bleak demands only holds it out

Шѳнѳѳр зааглах нѳгѳѳ л ѳдрүүдийг
Нойрмог бодол дунд ѳнгрѳѳсѳѳр
Цаанаа л нэг гуниг үгүйлсэн үед
Намуухан аяз сонсогдох юм
Уйтгарт зүүд нойрноос минь сэрээ

Бороо орж бодол ургана
Нойтон гудамжаар алхана
Надаас бусад нь маргааш руу 
Тэмүүлж бүдрэлгүй алхана

Маргааш гэдэг харанхуйд
Гэрэл асаж магадгүй
Уртаас урт хонгилийн үзүүрт
Чи ѳѳрѳѳсѳѳ гэрэлтэнэ

Ѳнѳѳдѳр ѳчигдѳр биш гэдгийг мэдэрлээ би
Жаргал ѳнгийх ѳдрүүд иржээ
Хаашаа ч юм үлээх 
Салхинд би туугдан
Ѳѳриинхѳѳ эрэлд гарлаа
Ѳѳдѳѳс минь гэрэлтэхийг харлаа

Гуниг гэдэг ѳѳрѳѳ
Жаргал гэдэг хаалганы
Түлхүүр нь болж ирээд
Жамаараа хийсэн одох юм

Ѳѳрийгѳѳ олоогүй байхад 
Ѳрѳѳлийг хайх хэцүү байж
Харин энд жинхэнэ би
Ѳѳдѳѳс мишээнэ чи

Үлгэр гэдэг зүгээр ном биш
Ѳѳр ѳѳр ѳнгийн шинэ хуудас шиг
Ѳѳдѳѳс ирэх ѳдрүүдийг
Ѳнгѳрсѳнтэй бүү жиш

Бодол дотор минь чи бас би
Чамаас би ѳѳрийгѳѳ харж байна
Харанхуйд унтрах цогийг
Асаах салхи нь бол чи
