so beautiful sound !! It seems to me this sound makes me pure .

Lovely re-imagination of this track, really appreciated Marco

Wonderful soundscape-innerscape & collaboration!...

Gentle energy and joy. Especially liked the ending when the percussion faded as the pulse continued.

A Place Of Spiritual Reflection, Of Contemplation
The Romans Loved Them, As Did Cleopatra.
I Know A Few Who Have Passed On While In Them.
There Are Continents And Shores That Beseech Our Understanding
Perhaps They May Be Found In 
THE BATH OF SHADOWS
Lyrics
I've Been Languishing In My Bath Of Shadows
Wishing You Were Soaking Here With Me
And My Bath Is Full To Overflowing
The Taps Are Pouring Out Their Shadow Memories
And I Cant Let Go
I Just Watch The Waters Flow
And The Shadows They Wash Over Me
And I Cant Pull The Plug And Watch Them Drain Away
I Cant Step Out
I'll Only Slip On The Soap
And Fall Back In The Bath Of Shadows Again

I've Been Languishing In My Bath Of Shadows
Pondering On Life's Mystery
And Its Like I'm Lost Inside A Game Of Tarot
And The Shadows , They Wash Over Me
Unken Shunken Beep And Bop Ahh Loo Laa
As I Lie Here The Waters Getting Cooler
Unken Shunken Beep And Bop Ahh Loo Laa
As I Lie Here The Waters Getting Cooler
And The Shadows They Wash Over Me

Remembering When 
Id Like To Do It Again With You
Remembering When
Id Like To Do It Again With You
I've Been Languishing In My Bath Of Shadows
Wishing You Were Soaking Here With Me

{;a}} Isplaystant

Marco Lucchi, based in Modena, Italy, and Henrik Meierkord, based in Stockholm, Sweden, have a lengthy collaboration to their reciprocal credit, and they accomplish it far and near alike. A testament to the interplay of their work together is that a listener might be hard-pressed to discern which of their recordings are the result of long-distance file-trading, and which occurred when the two managed to be in the same place at the same time.

Several aspects of their respective music-making serve them well as creative partners. First of all, both tend toward the ambient, given as they are generally to a slow pace and to a sensibility that manages to be at once radiant and intimate. Secondly, while both are multi-instrumentalists, there is a complementary nature to their specialties, Lucchi being more of a keyboardist, Meierkord more of a string player. Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, they are both immersed in techniques drawn from electronic music.

In particular, both men are experienced with live multitrack recording, in which they process and layer their own performances in real time. Meierkord is fond of layering sinuous tones to create scenarios of unique dimensions. It becomes uncertain — even unimportant — to the listener what preceded what, so intricate is his deployment of interplay. Lucchi likewise finds parallels between classical orchestration and the opportunity for drones lent by modern synthesizers; in a small room he can create a vast space. There is often an oceanic depth to such efforts, part composed and part improvisatory, in which playing is a tool toward composition, rather than the other way around.

Throughout their new record, there is an underlying melancholy, a nostalgic beauty, and a reflective consideration — a virtue that is foundational to their ongoing collaboration. The result is particularly rich in plaintive scene setting, as on the glacially paced “La bestia umana,” which emerges from a neighborly field recording of a dog barking, and “Kosmisk Strålning II,” which maintains a dream-like quietude, more shadow than light. One “Like tears in rain”, what sounds like a synthesizer is, in fact, a piano, a recording of which has been stretched beyond the point of it being readily identifiable.

On first listen, their leaning toward unimpeachable steadiness can seem uniform, but listen more closely and you’ll recognize how explicitly they emote on a track like “The Third Stage,” due not just to the reaching melodic surges (which, in turn, match the sampled recordings of bird calls) but to the slight discordances that suggest trouble and tension. In a different manner, there is “A warm and golden October,” which balances breaking-dawn hush with piercing overtones. That track features a motif at the end, played on a celesta; those bell-like tones edge the piece out of dreaminess without entirely breaking the spell.

The greatest outlier — dog barking notwithstanding — may be on “Oändlig,” not just for its fierce pulse, but because of its more immediately electronic vibe. “Oändlig” is an exceptional piece, bringing to mind the minimalism of Terry Riley and the rave classics of Underworld.

The cormorant in the forest;

Piano melody from "Preludes for Digital Alchemy"

Preludes for Digital Alchemy

Dimanche 16h Le Soleil Revient

"I'm a mellow artist, aging 67. I love and release eclectic music, from post-classical to drone. My fave instrument is the Mellotron."

Così, sinteticamente, di solito mi presento.

In genere compongo musica partendo dal suono delle tastiere, ma il mio vero strumento è il registratore.

O i software di registrazione.

"I was made for loving and making recorded music."

Confido da sempre nel potere evocativo e orfico della musica, nella sua capacità di riconsegnarci a mondi più veri e più giusti, più belli di quelli in cui di solito viviamo.

SoundCloud è la piattaforma musicale che preferisco perché è soprattutto il regno degli amateurs, di quelli che fanno musica per sé e per gli amici .. come quando da ragazzi si condividevano con gli altri le invenzioni e le creazioni .. io sostanzialmente sono rimasto lì e così .. non sempre, ovviamente, ma spesso ci trovo delle cose che valgono altrettanto - se non di più - rispetto a quelle più affermate e conosciute
