🇮🇹: Il tempo sembrava non passare mai.
Se non fosse per la musica non so se sarei ancora qui a scrivere questa nota. Con musica però, intendo tutto quanto quello che è collegato alla mia carriera. La mia nuova famiglia, coloro che mi hanno tenuto vivo, la capacità di trasmettere le emozioni che sento tramite una DAW, la creatività.

Senza queste cose non sarei lo stesso Simone, come se non fosse per Arianna e per Jarianni non sarei Zimoh.

Partendo dal principio.. noi artisti non siamo fatti per essere chiusi in una cella. Per questo motivo la creatività è potente: potevo uscire dalle mura della mia vecchia casa, dai confini del paese o dall' atmosfera del pianeta solo con la mia immaginazione.
È questione di saper sfruttare le tue situazioni ed emozioni a tuo vantaggio. C'è chi racconta storie, c'è chi lascia che il programma diventi un' estensione delle braccia e della mente.
Mi sono dovuto adattare a tal punto che potessi fare entrambe le cose. 
Stavo uscendo di testa. Fortunatamente in passato ho deciso di tuffarmi in questa carriera.

🇺🇸: Time never seemed to pass.
If it were not for music, I don't know if I would still be here writing this note. By music though, I mean everything related to my career. My new family, those who have kept me alive, the ability to convey the emotions I feel through a DAW, creativity.

Without these things I would not be the same Simone, just as if it were not for Arianna and Jarianni I would not be Zimoh.

Starting from the beginning-we artists are not meant to be locked in a cell. That is why creativity is powerful: I could get out of the walls of my old house, the boundaries of the country or the 'atmosphere of the planet just with my imagination.
It's a matter of knowing how to use your situations and emotions to your advantage. Some people tell stories, some people let the program become an 'extension of your arms and mind.
I had to adapt so much that I could do both.
I was going out of my mind. Fortunately in the past I decided to dive into this career.



Jail (Intro)

НА ДВОИХ

The Rectangle Sphere

Accompanied by a strange mix of relief and sadness, it is with great pleasure that I am finally letting go and releasing my fourth and final movement to my Symphony No. 4. 

It is also my pleasure to announce that Liz Dicker @Liz-Dicker is simultaneously  releasing her beautiful and moving performance of a piano piece I wrote based in part on this final movement.  If you would like to listen to it, please click on this link: https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker/evie-by-christopher-larkins

I wish it was not the case, but as a result of COVID19, I have been able to invest more time into writing this Symphony than any prior composition. Thus, I think it is only fitting that I dedicate the whole work to the recognition of how much suffering people throughout the world has had to endure as a result of this terrible virus.  

Within the journey of this movement and the Symphony as a whole, there are numerous twists and turns, and just like life, it is far from all smooth sailing. I hope though, that you feel as I do, that there are many passages throughout the Symphony that celebrate life.  But to me, even though this last movement does lament what is lost, it is within the last few bars where the journey finally releases an unequivocal affirmation of the beauty and majesty of life.  

Whatever you glean from the work, I hope its was worth listening to.

The picture for this movement is taken from the exact same place that the picture for the 3rd movement was taken.   The 3rd movement's picture was taken shortly after my neighborhood had been ravaged by wildfire.  This picture was taken a few months later after we had rejuvenating winter rains in Southern California.  As you can see, the hillsides came rushing back to life.  Hopefully, the world will rejuvenate and recover very soon from the ravages of COVID.

As always, thank you for listening and do stay healthy.  
Christopher
