I came across the ancient Greek term "Galene," which can refer to a state of a soul filled with peace, but was also the goddess of the calm sea. In that spirit, may this piece bring you calm seas as you listen.

Galene

I hope this title will captivate you as much as me....to listen to the end!

Happy New Year everyone!  My first piece of the new year, A Moment in Time, is just a blip in the big picture of the universe and our life.  Incomprehensible really.  But everyday we experience each moment as a fully integrated part of our being.  However long or short, these moments are the DNA of existence or conciousness while alive on this earth.  Thank you all for a wonderful 2024 and supporting my music.  I am infinitely inspired and humbled by the extraordinary creativity I hear from your music each day!  THANK YOU! Here's to 2025!

A Moment in Time

Come to Pass

Note: This is the contracted version - the extended version takes nearly ten minutes

methods: field recordings (three simultaneous leafblowers, jangling cables, a car passing) time stretched and fitted, reading my poem, effects and all that, vsts (cello, accordeon, orchestra)
narration: language might be misleading

poem / copyright jo richter:

his shadow is a verb
his gesture is a noun
lavender, this moment’s herb
with triple syllable count

a child, he draws a fingerplane
that smells of wet and cat and nip
a giant dog is called a dane
blood pools on a bitten lip

when he’s dead, he’ll climb a tree
lilac bark as good as gold
overcome adversity
and undergo conformity as you are told

the killer smiled, the artist wept
clandestine transformations of the ear
the wind is cleanly, it has swept
away the wool night’s minders shear

is there a lie that’s not been told
uttered by the utterly convinced
made to merge into the fold
plucked and sorted and then rinsed

who tied this tie around his wrist
circle words that speak of troy
seven knuckles make a fist
seven seas to float a single buoy

shades of pickled  lavender

shades of pickled lavender - contracted version

Fruits of insomnia (Diptych)

"Pascal Sardi-Antasan - pianiste et compositeur français, mêle les genres du néoclassique, du romantisme dans sa musique émotionnelle et cinématographique. 
Inspiré par sa formation classique et une culture musicale éclectique, il laisse libre cours à son intuition pour créer des compositions touchantes et  modernes"
