My best support! Josh my prize is listening and discovering new music. Go!

We are premiering "Liminal Spaces" from Marco Avitabile's upcoming album "A Few Meaningful Things," out on August 31st via Colectivo Casa Amarela.

RIYL: Bill Orcutt, Loren Connors, Alan Licht, David Torn

Marco Avitabile is an Italian guitarist and sound artist experimenting with textural, free-form improvisation. Having spent his youth within the local post-hardcore and metal scenes, Marco’s guitar playing is minimal and streamlined, more closely informed by visceral expressionism rather than technical proficiency. “A Few Meaningful Things”, his second solo work and first for Colectivo Casa Amarela, highlights string clang shining through live signal processing, providing a clear-eyed celebration of simplicity, flirting with multiple styles while not fully committing to any.
Whereas his previous work focused more on sound processing - used as a semi-generative mean to create improvised guitar music -, here crude performance takes center stage, renewing Avitabile’s dedication to the six strings and showing his most intimate approach to the instrument yet.

An abstract journey towards balance, between spontaneity on one side and meticulous craft on the other, much like the life situation that inspired these pieces: as Avitabile strives balancing the titular few meaningful things in his life - music making on one side, a day job and his family on the other-, the urge to create fights with the struggle to fulfill it, which is ultimately what fuels the urge itself the most.

Selected and edited by Avitabile himself from countless hours of home-recorded material, the tracks on “A Few Meaningful Things” were expertly mastered by James Plotkin, further underlying a lineage of post-genre, razor-sharp, instinctive guitar music the album aims at being a part of.

ABOUT THE ARIA
From The Companion, the first act of a trio of operas called Three Way. In The Companion, Maya lives with her android lover, Joe. This interactive programmed Companion looks and sounds human—only better. Still, Maya wants more complexity from Joe. She has technician Dax come by to install new experimental software, with surprising results. Dax flirts with Maya; in this aria, she shares her ultimate desire.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
What I want is a man. 
Not just any man: the perfect man. 
Who will be here, ready and happy,
At the end of every day.
You may find it alarming 
But Prince Charming
Is just an upgrade away.
He can kiss me so tenderly,
Or hard and savagely.
He is a generous lover.
He can last all night in the sack
Without going slack.
He can hold back on his back
Until I’m done.
He thinks of me first and last,
Every time, every day.
And he never thinks of himself.
He never thinks at all.
But he seems to think,
And that makes all the difference!
That’s the perfect man.
Oh, I’ve had men—
Or weak creatures that called themselves men.
Selfish, stupid, lazy, greedy boys.
And after wasting years of my life
Playing house and wife,
I’ve decided to go home with my toys.
What I want is a man. 
Not just any man:
The perfect man.

Written for Game of Thrones
*from the perspective of King Joffrey Baratheon

I am afraid your father has misbehaved 
He made a grave mistake and begged me for my pardon 
Look at his face, bug-eyed, atop the stake! 
Look how his ashes fertilize my royal garden! 

Pretty girl, I'm bad in my bones but 
What does it matter when I'm here on this throne? 

All of my slaves are slaving away today 
They're building me castles 'cross the land 
Where I can house my hands and 
All of my soldiers die for their true king 
Truly, there's no more wars to win but 
Peace is awfully boring 

Pretty girl, I'm bad in my soul but 
What does it matter when I'm in full control? 

You will be my wife and my queen! 
You and me will do whatever we please! 
Torture and death to anyone left who disagrees! 

Sansa, my dear, give me a son tonight 
Raise him to be a powerful king just like his father 
I have grown sore of sitting at this height 
Though it's a thrill to kill, I'd much rather not bother 

Pretty girl, I've got good in my heart but 
What does it matter when I'm playing this part?
...

New Morning

Stallion Dunquis - Sansa My Dear

I wrote this song when I was 29 but I felt so much older...

I WAS A YOUNG MAN THEN

The years have gone, I watched each one, slowly pass
Crippled in, the Beggar's Den, fading fast
Days go by, you live and die, you cut and bleed
Remembering how everything used to be

I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey
I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey
I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey

See the light, shining bright, down the road
Shining bright, so I can find, my way back home
There's a ship at sea, waiting for me, ready to sail
Take me home to the days of sun I knew so well

I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey
I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey
I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey

I was a young man then but now I'm just
I was a young man then but now I'm just
I was a young man then but now I'm just old and grey

Time goes by
So sad for you and I
Crippled in the den
Of the beggar's home

I Was A Young Man Then

The Void of Obscurity, Uninterrupted
