‘vincit qui patitur’
Track created for the Disquiet Junto Project. http://www.disquiet.com
0648 = Shadow Boxing. Employ shadow boxing as a musical metaphor.

The one trying to defend itself is a church organ, alone, without its titular organist. It fights by trying to express by itself, with the air it has left from the depths of its many windchests and pipes, from the depths of its entrails. The organ is alive, as are all instruments, of course... But now he's afraid, he attempts to call for help as fire threatens under the cathedral's vaults. He's afraid of dying.

It is April 15, 2019. The fire will spread, destroying the spire and the entire roof covering the nave, choir and transept. But the organ will be saved.

Completely dismantled, and cleaned of smoke dust, "the king of instruments" would play again 5 years later, this time with his organist friend. He witnessed the biggest disaster to hit the cathedral since it was built. He is the miraculous witness of Notre-Dame.

Inspired by the Disquiet Junto theme (and a preset I created with Kontakt).
Recorded live and mastered with Logic Pro X.

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.
