Ce morceau a été enregistré dans le studio cosmique de -M- et il est inspiré d'une chanson traditionnelle ukrainienne qui appelle la pluie "Idy-idy doschyku". Bonne écoute à vous !

Doschyku (Rain)

Grave mouths of lions
Sinuous smiling of young crocodiles
Along the river's water conveying millions
Isles of spice
How lovely he is, the son
Of the widowed queen
And the sailor
The handsome sailor abandons a siren,
Her widow's lament at the south of the islet
It's Diana of the barracks yard
Too short a dream
Dawn and lanterns barely extinguished
We are awakening
A tattered fanfare 

Jean COCTEAU, "Awakening"

Lost in Awakening

I see nothing.
 
We may sink and settle
on the waves.
The sea will drum
in my ears.
 
The white petals
will be darkened
with sea water.
 
They will float
for a moment
and then sink.
 
Rolling over
the waves will
shoulder me under.
 
Everything falls
in a tremendous shower,
dissolving me.

Virginia WOOLF, "Waves"

this mountain was for?

Ivan, come, come, come
Sing us a spring song, Ivan
All the winter we were cold
Didn't we sing any song...

Vyïdy-Vyïdy

"Once upon a time... 

Johann Sebastian, a young German composer, went to the fabled Ukrainian Carpathian mountains. 
There he met a local witch. 
She sang and danced for him a Kolomyika. 
He fell in love. 
With Kolomyika. 
And he composed a prelude. 
But he never wrote it down. 
Because he never knew - was it a real journey or a dream...

Some years later he wrote the Prelude in C minor, BWV 999, that always reminded him of the Carpathian witch."

This piece is inspired by one of my favourite Bach's Preludes - BWV 999 - and a Hutsul folk dance Kolomyika.

Kolomyika Tale

Dieu prend par la main l’homme enfant, et le convie
À la classe qu’au fond des champs, au sein des bois,
Il fait dans l’ombre à tous les êtres à la fois.

Paris, juin 1846 

Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations

Contemplation: 13/8

Ukrainian pianist, harpsichordist, singer, composer, actress, dreamer, living in France

"...entrer par le point d’achoppement pour faire disparaître l’édifice d’où est sortie sa musique est le premier tour de force de sa vélocité. Tension, syncope, climax... ou bien encore une musique qui revendique la tendresse sans mièvrerie. A la recherche de l’innocence d’une origine perdue... 

...pourtant elle échappe aux étiquettes trop faciles car avant tout musique de son époque et donc protéiforme. Influences, convergences, explorations et fulgurances sont les portées sur lesquelles Maryna Voznyuk écrit son histoire et sa musique." by Vasken Koutoudjan, Culturopoing
