Atceries | Remember (Solo Version)

Rauno Lehtinen composed this beautiful song in 1968. In song the person is remembering one of the past summer when he/she was fall in love.
I played this with steel string parlor guitar. Sound was captured with matched pair of condenser microphones. This was first time I used FMR audio`s RNLA7239 hardware compressor helping recording process.
Only little bit of EQ and reverb has been added afterwards.

Just a small electric guitar solo from my CD Keepsakes. Emika – Japanese – blessed, beautiful child.  

The youtube video link below is of the song Emika from photos of Tori Yamashita's extremely cute dog Kooza at various sites in Japan.

Look in the shade. You may find quiet beauty that does not seek the all - day limelight of the sun.

Shade

Fingerstyle playing has been a passion for me for over 45 years, having fallen in love with it when I first heard a college friend play with his fingers instead of a pick.  It was mesmerizing and I determined then and there I must learn how.  This song is the first I wrote using fingerstyle and has followed me around now for over 40 years evolving as I learned more playing technique.  I think it is still evolving, but this is where it is now; shades of light and shadow, good times, difficult times, hopefully full of the Grace of God. It is a musical portrait of me.  Performance note:  only one guitar used, the Taylor JKSM, standard tuning, no overdubbing--strictly solo fingerstyle.

This is Third in a series of Poems That Jo Richter has so Generously let me use. Anyone that has ever tried to write lyrics for a song, knows that good lyrics are hard to come by.  When i first read jo's poems, it was and is a cathartic experience. I hope i made a good song out of this GREAT Poem..

OLD SONG

Met the girl that Dürer drew
Spoke in dreams she did to you
Spoke of morphic co-creation
But, alas, she's no relation
Of the mage that has no clue

Took a girl to a ball on the moon
Where Milton's soul served on a dune
Had some bourbon, died of fear
Prophets wailed but dear queen Lear
Had no mercy on the loon

Venus painted on her bed
Sipped from grails of liquid lead
Do you believe, she asked, in rest
Or restauration, no man's quest
Will shroud the beauty of the dead

Was addressed on Stromboli
By a girl with eyes to see
Colours flared and clouds dispersed
On gilded shields for, oh, she nursed
Too many snakes to set one free

Found an ancient photograph
Of a girl engulfed in love
That smelled the rain about to fall
On pastures vain, she'd charmed some shawl
To conceal her just enough

Travelled to the promised land
Where the knotted throngs disband
Love's ancient goddess held a rally
In some lone deserted alley
On a rostrum made of sand

Do you know a place to be
A chalk-cast fresco asked of me
My wings are small, I cannot fly
And all my quiver has run dry
For Ovidus is exiled to Romany

Marco Lucchi : electric organ and tape

9 febbraio 2023

questa è la mia personale interpretazione del "Four organs" di Steve Reich .. non la considero una versione definitiva, ma giusto un primo approccio, un tentativo .. se qualcuno è interessato a condividere con me il piacere di lavorare su quel bellissimo pezzo mi faccia sapere .. sono ben accetti sia rielaborazioni che parti vocali o strumentali da aggiungere .. su Bandcamp, in forma di 'bonus track', trovate anche il brano originale
https://marcolucchi.bandcamp.com/album/notre-dame

***

Four Organs is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation (lengthening) of individual tones within a single (dominant 11th) chord. The tones within the chord gradually extend out like a sort of horizontal bar graph in time. As the chord stretches out, slowly resolving to the tonic A and then gradually changing back to the dominant E, a sort of slow-motion music is created. The maracas lay down a steady time grid of even eighth-notes throughout, enabling the performers to play together while mentally counting up to as much as 256 beats on a given cycle of sustained tones.


Four Organs is the only piece I am aware of that is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation of individual tones within a single chord. From the beginning to the end there are no changes of pitch or timbre; all changes are rhythmic and simply consist of gradually increasing durations. This process of augmentation was suggested by the enormous elongation of individual tenor notes in Organum as composed by Perotin and others in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral. Tenor notes that in the original chant may have been equivalent to our quarter- or half-notes can take several pages of tied whole-notes when augmented by Perotin or Leonin.


Four Organs was composed in January 1970. It was first performed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City by myself and members of my own ensemble later that same year. It also turned out to be one of my first pieces to be heard by a large concert-going public when Michael Tilson Thomas invited me to perform it with him and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston in 1971 and at Carnegie Hall in 1973, where it provoked a riot.

Started out as a solo guitar piece. Then I added some VST classical instruments, and... voila!

Conversation

Please read, there will be some technical explanations connected with each track.
 
These all are home studio recordings and  arranged so that I could play them in front of audience. However, currently I am not willing for live performances. I feel pure happiness always when someone listen my music here. I really enjoy Your music, my friends and prove it listen to it as often I practically can.

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
