“Leaving together, Leaving apart” is one of 6 pieces I recorded using my 8th mosesa
In November 2018. I have since made several other models,, but recently rediscovered this album in my files.

It anticipates many things that I am doing currently, namely playing and responding to overtones and instrument body resonances. Tuning is by ear as well as all playing. I tuned the instrument to resonate with my wishes when playing.

The mosesa 8 is composed to 2 guitar strings, a cello bridge resting on a thin, patched and pressed wooden bowl. I used a DPA microphone, external guitar pedals and internal Logic Pro filters to create the sound that you hear.

The emotional background for these pieces, “Leaving together, Leaving apart” was the coming and goings between myself and one of my children of college age. I felt so much joy at being together, then sorrow with leaving.
The music is not illustrative, and I think focuses mostly on the joy of relating each moment with another.

Happy New Year and enjoy!

A practical guide to shamanism for young people

This is the 3rd of 3 album preview pieces for the album "above a darkness of earth." Our wish, with this piece and with the whole album, is to offer a calm, meditative piece to help towards a deepening connection with the earth and each other.

Thanks from the team, Henry Koek, Paulo Chagas, and myself, Wilhelm

Here is the poem that I wrote which inspired this music:
Hum, just above, a darkness of earth

River runs nearby,
gurgles and murmurs, 

sounds out 
under submerged tree trunks, 
pale and immersed in the flow.
Blackness of deep night 
has 
already settled here.

Still,
fine, serrated leaves whisper with the wind,
gently hover over darkness.

Stems from last year
still 
rise up,
Still,
connected to dark earth.

Purple blossoms, in rows of hearts
Still,
hum quietly 
to each other,
just 
above a darkness of earth.

Hum, just above a darkness of earth

NOVA ILUSÃO

No rarear dos deuses e dos mitos
Deuses antigos, vós ressuscitais
Sob a forma longínqua de ideais
Aos enganados olhos sempre aflitos.

Do que vós concebeis mais circunscritos,
Desdenhais a alma exterior dos ritos
E o sentimento que os gerou guardais.

Lá para além dos seres, ao profundo
Meditar, surge, grande e impotente
O sentimento da ilusão do mundo.

Os falsos ideais do Aparente
Não o atingem — único final
Neste entenebrecer universal.
