"musica assoluta" (settembre 2023)

Hexfarm is 

Phil Bywater - Saxophones/Flutes
Dane Renshaw - Drums
Mat Ward - Bass Guitar/Vox

The first new track from Hexfarm - who  have managed to jam once a year in 2022 then 2023 for the first time in many many many years. 2 of us now live in Australia with our Japanese residing Drummer flying in once a year for some fun. This was recorded remotely and hot mixed in my home studio - rough garage sounds : ) Lots of improv stuff on tape to see the light of day too in the vault

曼殊沙華あやしき赤の藥玉の目もあやに炎ゆ草生のまどはし
木下利玄（1886-1925）

The red spider lily shines dazzlingly in the grass like a bewitching red decorative paper ball, disturbing my mind.
Rigen Kinoshita (1886-1925)

for the current Disquiet Junto challenge

Disquiet Junto Project 0609: Speed Limit Pt 1
The Assignment: Record a track at precisely 60 BPM with the intention someone will subsequently rework it.

Step 1: You’re going to record a simple track at 60 BPM in 4/4 that will be reworked subsequently by other musicians, including potentially being combined with other tracks. Think about how you want to structure something with that intention.

Step 2: Record a 60 BPM track in 4/4 based on the thinking that resulted from Step 1.

Note: This is the first part of a two-part project. You don’t need to participate in both. In the Junto, all projects are intended to be doable as standalones. However, there often are sequences. The intended second project of this project, next week, will build on this one, so please consider making your track downloadable and available for reworking/remixing.

Ma réinterprétation de "Ronde" (Marco Lucchi)

Perdu dans un rêve - Ronde lente

I could not see the ciccada. I could not see the bell nor the semantron. I could not see the monastery of Sankt Ana, only a peak of a tower maybe, a steeple or lightening rod, up there, amid the trees, after the thick, gnarly bramby scrub going up the hill from our camp site. The sun ferocious and oozing plasma. Finding shade, we drank our water and read our books and plotted our course. The toaca in the monastery struck -- the percussion of hammers on a plank of wood, sometimes call the semantron -- I'd learned about this sound from maybe Kazantzakis, Sikelianos, Seferis--  one of those Greek poets anyway. A sound resonant of Mt. Athos. I've never seen the bells on Athos. Hearing the percussion, I rushed to the car to grab the recorder and catch the strange dry tabla amid the clicking insistence of the insects marking out their mating territorries. In the morning after breaking camp and breaking our fast, we drove up to the hill to visit the monastery. And the mystery of the semantron and the bells was repeated on a Sunday morning as well.

Or maybe a lament rather than a blues. Certainly a draft with other layers on the way. There are 3 tracks of improvisations with this theme.

"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
