Auf der CD Sprühweißquellgold verleih mir Flügel , 2022

Programmnotiz
Im Sommer 2015 verbrachte ich zwei Monate (Juli und August) in der NES Artist Residency in Skagaströnd, Island. Jetzt, sechs Jahre später, habe ich ein elektroakustisches Stück komponiert, das ein wenig von Island inspiriert ist. Die Komposition besteht aus bearbeiteten Perkussionsklängen und unbearbeiteten Klängen (nur wenige Sekunden) von der CD „Duo Svanni – RÆTUR“ von Hildur Wågsjö Heimisdóttir und Júlia Traustadóttir Kondrup und der CD „Sounds of Island“ von Hafdis Bjarnadóttir.

On the CD Sprühweißquellgold verleih mir Flügel , 2022

Program Note
In summer 2015 I spent two months (July and August) at the NES Artist Residency in Skagastrrönd, Iceland. Now, six years later, I created an electroacoustic composition, which is a little bit inspired by Iceland. The composition consists of edited percussion sounds and unedited sounds (just a few seconds) of the CD „Duo Svanni – RÆTUR“ by Hildur Heimisdottir and Julia Traustadottir and of the CD "Sounds of Iceland" by Hafdis Bjarnadottir.

I finished this work in January 2022

Sprühweißquellgold verleih mir Flügel - Electroacoustic Music

Not to Speak II

“This device isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards… it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the wheel, it’s called the carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a place where we know we are loved.” 
 (Don Draper, Mad Men)

Call Back Carousel is an audio time-travelogue, a slideshow of the mind’s eye - projecting Kodachrome memories directly into the listeners’ mind by means of sound alone. It is a way of travelling without ever having to leave the home. A vicarious vacation for the imagination. Pure audio escapism.

Each episode is based on a found tape of a pre-recorded slideshow commentary. Most of these tapes were made by amateur tape recording enthusiasts and hobbyist photographers of the 60s and 70s. Their recorded commentaries would at one time have been used in conjunction with a sequence of 35mm slides but only the taped voices now remain. The recordings themselves come from my own archive of found reel-to-reel tapes that I have collected over the past twenty years.

Scotland, 1971

Argine is the result of opposite feelings led by the desire for change. 2022 has been a dense year and the sound of this work could not fail to reflect this adjective. 
I'm pleased to introduce the album using the words included in the cd sleeve. Thanks for listening… 

"On my tiptoes I loosened the screws of parched gears, leaving it to fate to bring down my fake ivory skeleton with a gust of wind. 
My name has been written among the creeks of the time - every name should be like this - but no one has ever reminded me of it. The nuances are imperceptible letters that curve the gaze, small gems given away in the Pisces era. 
Last night I saw tomorrow in a succession of twelve blades, like a pond that suddenly turns into an ocean of tears. It is that smell that penetrates the senses just before the rain arrives, the muddy scent of burnt silk. 
I play arpeggios of inconsistent notes with the unfinished idea of an abstract smile, colored sketches that are linked to my abandoned dreams, thrown into the basement of memory. Timidly I open that door and I sit on the antique armchair in the center of the room. Beyond the walls there is only the mute din of nothing calling me, but I do not answer and with bare feet I wait for the water to rise, touching my skin. 
What is a metamorphosis if not the suffering of a new life? I vomit golden placenta and beg my shadow not to go away. I shake her hand that slowly indulges at the crossroads and, at dawn, a hill of snow-covered cedars turns into my new dwelling. 
Today it is the precious metal that I fold without hurting myself, shiny and unscratchable. Tomorrow I will see my bloody shadow again and among crystal fragments I will dance with him again as a gift that I will repeat until my peaceful farewell." Francis Gri

This is Chapter 4 of our Elvenland saga. Hope you enjoy :)

Devastated by Gildor's failed attempt to help her escape from the castle, Raewyn begins her own search for freedom. She discovers a small lever set into the wall in the far corner of the tower. As she pulls the lever, a hidden door opens creakily and she finds herself in a dark passage, water dripping from the roof. The end of the passage opens up into a large cavern, with a mysterious golden light shining in the distance - A Portal! But does it lead to good or evil?
Find out in Elven 5 😆

Stealing The Spaceship (Benny Oschmann) - ACTION WOODWINDS - Demo

Lonely is the Muse whose sadness captivates.

None love her for her, but for the desperation of serenity in their souls...
She'll give them 
this..

Yet the irony is not unseen...

That it is her desperate cries to the universe that beckon them to her...

The lonely, 
all are lonely, 
drawn to each other, 
for themselves...

Tongueless Soliloquy

Intersecta

"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
