Seeking Sorrow

This is a recent track in the same vibe of my previous project "FÛ". I had so much fun using my recorder and clarinet, I wanted to extend a bit the experience. I don't know if this one is really finished but I wanted to share it anyways. What do you think? I hope you can feel the positive bird-like energy.

I have also another project including meditative instruments and custom hand made percussions. I'm very slow because I go to so many directions. Recently I did my first collective exhibition and sold 4 drawings out of 5. I was surprised how people really loved the work. I want to make more art as well as more music and meanwhile I have also to develop my work as an independent - I don't want anymore to give all my time to a work that makes me feel I'm sacrifing all my freedom. All of this is complicated to me but I'm happy to make some important choices. Well, I think I write too much about my life here. :) When I'm done with some "professional" stuff I have to do, I will be back with more music and more power for artistic purposes.

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
