Marco you have a wonderful talent with the piano!

I really enjoyed this. It tells such a story in one's mind, and there is so much creative thought infused in this song. Well done. Write on..right on...righteously.

Just wondering....Are you a fan of Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet?

Every Day Is A Little Bit Easier

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

The Sweet Breath of Angels  -  Eleyan Di Palma with Queensland Rose

Can U Hear Me (Remix) feat. Mia & Marianne

18 ABRIL

Dark forest circling
shadows approaching
This papers all I need 
Madness, in focus
3rd eye is opening 
Friends seem like strangers
Time has gone missing 
..sink down in the tall grass 

The sky has turned to glass
Shards of reflection 
I’m frozen to the grass
Purpose, intention 
This papers all I need 
Instant confusion 
Twisted reality 
Sink down in the tall grass..


I wish it was different 
I wish I had opinions 
I wish I could remember 
Times of ancient spender 
I am only breathing for you now 
When will times get brighter 
When will bricks get lighter 
When can I stop breathing 
When will you deceive me
I am only breathing for you now

In this tŵisted reality (I’m) only breathïng

Our share of night to bear -
Our share of morning -
Our blank in bliss to fill,
Our blank in scorning -

Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way!
Here a mist - and there a mist -
Afterwards - Day!

It is necessary now that I should tell what manner of man I am. My name, it matters not, nor any other outward detail particular to me. Of my character aught must be said.

The whole constitution of my spirit is one of hesitancy and of doubt. Nothing is or can be positive to me; all things oscillate round me, and I with them, an uncertainty unto myself. All for me is incoherence and change. All is mystery and all is meaning. All things are «unknown» symbolic of the Unknown. Consequently horror, mystery, over-intelligent fear.

By my own natural tendencies, by the surroundings of my earliest life, by the influence of studies undertaken under the impulse of them (these very tendencies), by all this I am of the internal species of character, self-centred, mute, not self-sufficing but self-lost. All my life has been one of passiveness and of dream. All my character consists in the hatred, in the horror of, in the incapacity pervading all that is me, physically and mentally, for decisive acts, for definite thoughts. I had never a resolution born of a self-command, never an external betraying of a conscious will. My writings were none of them finished; new thoughts intruded ever, extraordinary, inexcludable associations of ideas bearing infinity for term. I cannot prevent my thought's hatred of finish; about a single thing ten thousand thoughts, and tenthousand inter-associations of these ten thousand thoughts arise, and I have no will to eliminate or to arrest these, nor to gather them into one central thought, where their unimportant but associated details may be lost. They pass in me;

they are not my thoughts, but thoughts that pass through me. I do not ponder, I dream; I am not inspired, I rave. I can paint, but I have never painted; I can compose music, but I have never composed. Strange conceptions in three arts, lovely strokes of imagining caress my brain; but I let them slumber there till they die, for I have not power to give them their body, to make them things of the world outside.

My character of mind is such that I hate the beginnings and the ends of things, for they are definite points. The idea of a solution being found for problems the highest, the noblest, of science, of philosophy, afflicts me; that aught might be determined of God or of the world horrorizes me. That things of most moment should be accomplished, that men should one day all be happy, that a solution might be found to the ills of society, even in its conception maddens me. Yet I am not evil nor cruel; I am mad and that as it is difficult to conceive.

Though I have been a reader voracious and ardent, yet I remember no book that I have read, so far were my reading states of my own mind, dreams of my own, nay, provocations of dreams. My very memory of events, of external things is vague, more than incoherent. I shudder to think how little I have in mind of what my past life has been. I, the man who holds that today is a dream, am less than a thing of today.

Fernando Pessoa (originally written in English)

Ah a frescura na face de não cumprir um dever!
Faltar é positivamente estar no campo!
Que refúgio o não se poder ter confiança em nós!
Respiro melhor agora que passaram as horas dos encontros.
Faltei a todos, com uma deliberação do desleixo,
Fiquei esperando a vontade de ir para lá, que eu saberia que não vinha.
Sou livre, contra a sociedade organizada e vestida.
Estou nu, e mergulho na água da minha imaginação.
É tarde para eu estar em qualquer dos dois pontos onde estaria à mesma hora,
Deliberadamente à mesma hora...
Está bem, ficarei aqui sonhando versos e sorrindo em itálico.
É tão engraçada esta parte assistente da vida!
Até não consigo acender o cigarro seguinte... Se é um gesto,
Fique com os outros, que me esperam, no desencontro que é a vida.

Fernando Pessoa

my contribution to the current Disquiet Junto project
https://disquiet.com/2020/12/10/disquiet-junto-project-0467-toolbox-show-tell/

ancora una volta il 'compositional challenge' del progetto #Disquiet di questa settimana è molto interessante .. se ho capito bene si tratta di 'mostrare' e/o 'raccontare' una pratica musicale venuta significativamente a galla durante questo periodo così particolare .. "Share a tip for making music that you learned during the pandemic" .. be', per quanto mi riguarda, io ho 'scoperto' una specie di 'guida assistita' nel suonare le tastiere .. ho sempre amato i 'patterns' ripetitivi, su tutti quelli 'really terrific' di Terry Riley .. non essendo però in possesso di tale tecnica esecutiva e compositiva, mi sono spesso 'accontentato' di arpeggi, ostinati o strutture sostanzialmente semplici, a cui ho cercato di dare una qualche pregnanza, o quantomeno una 'voce' personale, ma che con l'andare del tempo sembravano mostrare i loro limiti .. le tastiere di ultima generazione mi sono venute decisamente incontro nel tentativo di superare questa 'impasse', possedendo numerose varianti di arpeggi o 'patterns' .. in questi mesi, quindi, mi sono fatto 'guidare' da queste apparecchiature digitali, come se pilotassi un'automobile dotata di assistenza elettronica .. non ho, credo, esagerato nel loro uso, non mi sono fatto prendere la mano - è il caso di dirlo - e il risultato non è particolarmente distante da una cosa che con un po' di impegno probabilmente sarei riuscito a fare anche senza l'assistente digitale, ma essendo veramente poco dotato di pazienza e disciplina, ho potuto realizzare abbastanza in fretta cose nuove e diverse da quelle che ero solito fare - che è sempre cosa buona e giusta, no? -  senza contare che mi pare proprio di avere imparato roba nuova, non lontana da quella a me già nota, ma comunque nuova ..

piano patterns n°16 [disquiet0467]

"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.

"Ich bin ein kosmische Kurier"

I'm using these tools: Mellotron micro, Waldorf Blofeld synthesizer, Behringer Crave, IK Multimedia Uno synth, Roland Juno synth, Volca keys, Casio digital piano, micropiano Korg, Manetron (iPad app), iTampura (iPad app), Eko 11 (...) string acoustic guitar, electric violin, Orla analogic expander, tenor, treble and descant recorders, soprano and tenor tin whistle, Akai, Roland, Alesis and Arturia controllers, upright piano, Squier 3/4 electric guitar, melodica, Bubble Harp (iPad app), Schoenhut toy harp, soprano ukulele, Eko acoustic guitar, Peavey Composer acoustic guitar, Kurzweill micropiano, Boss and JamMan loop stations , Behringher multi-fx, Olympus portable digital recorder, Phonic, Behringer and Yamaha mixers, Audacity, Paulstretch, various players and plug-ins .. (that's all, folks, I think ..)

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
