a list of the works I made (or which I was involved in) during the month of October

(2020) October works

My developement of Marco's wonderful piano track: https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi/piano-patterns-no-5
The task is as always to add somthing without destroying to much of the original, keep the original track visible after my contribution. Then I was trying out different instruments first but ended up adding bassguitar as my first recording, as from my first intuition, first listening session. Then electric guitar, back and forth with the sound to fit in without killing the whole track and finally the poem, just to make this complete. Thanks for the challenge Marco! For lyrics, see belove:

Just Above Freezing

I am fainting.
I am wondering why the birds fly south
when it is seventy-nine
degrees
of wonder, why it is warmth of wonder

that keeps me questioning
if -
I am fainting. If I am holding
on
To simple things I am wondering why?

I am wondering why it is that something
that should be
as simple as
love
creates convolutions twisted
pathways crossing brain-loops

cross-hemispherical cross-
wired
wireless mix
mastered and slashed

on some vinyl of the
needled mind?
I am wondering
why
the needle breaks -
the skin flakes
is thin
surrounding
the drifts.
We are snowmen melting.
We are puddles
after bonds
broken,
we are left
The Dog.
Without
a cat.
Each bird
a dream.
I am fainting; blurred,
it looks as if
all
the birds
have
flown.
[Poem by:LAWRENCE CARADINI, read by Agnostura Elwar]

*****

No soul more loving or tender than mine has ever existed, no soul so full of kindness, of pity, of all the things of tenderness and of love. Yet no soul is so lonely as mine — not lonely, be it noted, from exterior, but from interior circumstances. I mean this: together with my great tenderness and kindness an element of an entirely opposite kind entered into my character, an element of sadness, of self - centredness, of selfishness therefore, whose effect is two - fold: to warp and hinder the development and full internal play of those other qualities, and to hinder, by affecting the will depressingly, their full external play, their manifestation. I shall analyse this, one day I shall examine better, discriminate, the elements of my character, for my curiosity of all things, linked to my curiosity for myself and for my own character, leads to one attempt to understand my personality.

                                  *

It was on account of these characteristics that I wrote, describing myself, in The Writers Day:

One like Rousseau...

A misanthropic lover of mankind.

I have, as a matter of fact, many, too many affinities with Rousseau. In certain things our characters are identical. The warm, intense, inexpressible love of mankind, and the portion of selfishness balancing it — this is a fundamental characteristic of his character and, as well, of mine.

Fernando Pessoa (original in english)

*****

Meu pensamento é um rio subterrâneo.
Para que terras vai e donde vem?
Não sei... Na noite em que o meu ser o tem
Emerge dele um ruído subitâneo

De origens no Mistério extraviadas
De eu compreendê-las..., misteriosas fontes
Habitando a distância de ermos montes
Onde os momentos são a Deus chegados...

De vez em quando luze em minha mágoa
Como um farol num mar desconhecido
Um movimento de correr, perdido
Em mim, um pálido soluço de água...
 
E eu relembro de tempos mais antigos
Que a minha consciência da ilusão
Águas divinas percorrendo o chão
De verdores uníssonos e amigos,

E a ideia de uma Pátria anterior
À forma consciente do meu ser
Dói‑me no que desejo, e vem bater
Como uma onda de encontro à minha dor.
 
Escuto‑o... Ao longe, no meu vago tacto
Da minha alma, perdido som incerto,
Como um eterno rio indescoberto,
Mais que a ideia de rio certo e abstracto...
 
E p'ra onde é que ele vai, que se extravia
Do meu ouvi‑lo ? A que cavernas desce?
Em que frios de Assombro é que arrefece?
De que névoas soturnas se anuvia?
 
Não sei... Eu perco‑o... E outra vez regressa
A luz e a cor do mundo claro e actual,
E na interior distância do meu Real
Como se a alma acabasse, o rio cessa...

Marco Lucchi & Mean Flow - Countryside Walk (piano patterns no 8)

"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
