"un-controlling" for cello, piano and two ebows composed by Dika Chartoff (ASCAP 2022) 

Dave Eggar, cello
Clare Longendyke, piano
Christian Amonson, recording engineer
Louis Ng, recording engineer

In memory and celebration of my friend Ben who was a wonderful friend to so many; amazing son, brother and father; a passionate surfer and sailor who lost his life to suicide after a long battle with depression.

During the opening, characterized as Poetico quasi senza mesura (poetic and unmeasured), the e-bow is used as an ostinato - a constant sound triggered by a magnet that vibrates the piano strings. Essentially, it’s a noise that’s calming and seductive at times, but much like depression, or tinnitus, it’s an unwelcome guest. The second part, giocoso (lively and humorous), is an innocent and technical interlude that culminates in climbing adrenaline; such as surfing a giant wave. Finally, Lento Irrealmente (slow and surreal) is a free fall of reverberating, vibrations and letting go. The e-bow is not present at that moment and perhaps a sense of hope, is restored.

un-controlling

The blinds are drawn
The waiters have gone
The bar is now empty
And we’re here alone 

There’s no one on the dance floor
There’s no one drinking wine
So hold me like you did before
Let's dance just one more time

For this club is closing
This is the last night
The bouncer he’s not bouncing
He’s fought his last fight

And so maybe one last kiss
Just one last embrace
Tell me all the things you’ll miss
When they’ve closed this place
 
There’s no one at the hat check
The turnstile, it wont turn
This candle lit at both ends
Has nothing left to burn 

Do you remember
How the floor was bouncing
And the crowd was shouting
As you sang your songs

Do you remember how
The band played on and on and on and on
And oh, under those lights
How I’m going to miss those crazy nights
 
The van is packed
The cases stacked
This is a one way road
I’m not turning back

I’m driving down to Paris
And then across to Spain
But maybe when I get to Rome
We can dance again

Those Crazy Nights (with Andrew Pickles)

Il n’y a que les ombres sur le gris macadam mouillé
L’orage crie et gronde quelques lumières allumées

Nos indifférences sont malaisées
Toutes les négligences oubliées
A mesure que l’on avance
Nos regards s’égarent
Nous avons laissé les chances
Sur le trottoir

REF

Toutes les vies faciles donnent la chair de poule aux idées
Et les instants graciles sonnent comme des relents d’amitié
Les paroles stériles donnent de fausses vérités
Dans cette noire ville qu’on ne peut oublier.

Le soleil revenu éclaire les ombres barbouillées
De la joie retenue libère les masques émaciés
Halte aux malentendus aux inégalités
Les territoires perdus à réconcilier

Les visages  les visages oubliés

Last Wishes by Linda Straub

Lyrics

Let me lie down beside the lake
then float upon the water's waves
and listen to the calming sounds
of the loon's wail as evening breaks 

I want to hear the crickets sing
in the silence of a dark night
and let the rain put me to sleep
until I wake at dawn's first light 

Let me gaze at the sky above
and feel the sun upon my face
to clear my mind and fill my soul
and bring comfort in its embrace 

Let me taste the first flakes of snow
as it paints the ground frosty white
and coats the trees with icicles
sparkling gems in the starlight

Let me feel the world around me
and bathe in its magnificence
I may not come this way again
so think of me as I was then. 

I may not come this way again
so think of me as I was then

Smoke Fades
