“Insomnia Trapped”  by Luke

method: it's complicated
narration: just what the poem and the feel of the composition say

poem / copyright jo richter:

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

lacuna lake lago
rotas arepo
* [ahimsa, opera sator]

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

I am what I owe
* [ahimsa]
mind made of velcro

down by the willows
unboxing shadows

* [after  opening, there is always a little dark left inside]

* these sections are not part of the poem as is, but essential to the sonification

down by the willows

Lyrics: Elizabeth Bishop: Songs for a Colored Singer, Part III (1946)

Lullaby.
Adult and child
sink to their rest.
At sea the big ship sinks and dies,
lead in its breast.

Lullaby.
Let nations rage,
let nations fall.
The shadow of the crib makes an enormous cage
upon the wall.

Lullaby.
Sleep on and on,
war's over soon.
Drop the silly, harmless toy,
pick up the moon.

Lullaby.
If they should say
you have no sense,
don't you mind them; it won't make
much difference.

Lullaby.
Adult and child
sink to their rest.
At sea the big ship sinks and dies,
lead in its breast.

Lullaby

This is my final instrumental mix but I think I will develop it into a full song.

to sail the Milky Way

This single was a collab between me and the awesome Elsodelaonada.

One-time bassist and trumpeter looking for the stillness that denotes stepping aside from nature’s rages and filtering out everything that does not soothe…..
