Compassionate scale.
Each impulse results in a force. The more momentum we take, the higher we jump. When there is a misfortune, an impulse of greater or lesser strength is generated. Here is a personal scale of that compassionate strength.
Cs0 Compassion predisposed asleep We are not aware of the existence of a misfortune. There is no force.
Cs1 Instant Compassion. We have seen it on a newspaper page and we have turned the page. It has caught our attention.
Cs2 Indirect compassion. Donations to charities. A person assaults you in the street and asks you, do you want to be human? And you say how much money you do it for. It is instant, but voluntary.
Cs3 Daily Compassion The news of the day. Floods, wars, social injustices. Your ideals come to light. To each one by his side and based on close experiences with said news.
Cs4 Compassion live. You are present when a misfortune occurs, but it is not with you. A violent situation that left a big impression on you.
Cs5 Compassion known. Here we begin to exceed the limits. A friend tells us about the misfortune of his mother. We offer our humanity.
Cs6 Voluntary compassion. You are a volunteer. You offer hours of your life to others many times without knowing them.
Cs7 Compassion target. The bomb explodes in your house, in your family or in your friends. You do everything you can to help.
Cs8 Self-pity. Misfortune concerns you directly. Prevent you from drowning. It can be extraordinary and lead to overcoming or useless if you no longer believe in it.
Cs9 Total compassion. It is when you give yourself to others putting your life at stake. I am not talking about a soldier, I am talking about a missionary in Haiti who does not leave, even if they tell her to leave.

small dogs dream big

based upon a field recording, I developed a musical sketch about the brief moment of a passing by plane. A small dog was a little upset and – possibly – immerged into his own world for a second, conducted by this intense experience.

the assignment: record a piece of music in which a passing siren blossoms into something else entirely.

QUARREL

Recorded for the Naviar Haiku challenge #545.

I wanted to illustrate the deceptive calmness under the stormy surface; our elusive memories, the petals as both wild sea foam and gently floating flower petals.

Both piano and Buchla are heavily affected by the Space Echo. Most of what you hear is the wet signal from the tape echo. In fact, when playing the piano I had no direct signal at all, resulting in me hearing what I had played half a second ago, not what I was playing at the time...

Main players:
Vintage Vibe
Buchla Music Easel
Roland Space Echo

Recorded in Logic Pro X with a Soundcraft MTK22.
