Jacques Callot, 1621 - 1635

Garden man, keep on digging
filtering the mulch from clay.
For your work you'll be rewarded
With a splendid harvest, 
on a future day.

Garden girl, making selfies,
filtering roots from layers of ground,
seedlings in topsoil, 
make the season go round.


Garden plans, it's only patience
Check the weather on your app
Come rain or shine,
All will be fine,
Pumpkins and onions,
mushrooms and wallnuts,
beetroot and cabbage,
Anything goes,...

Gardenman

Quando o acaso deita pedras

Nothing Grew Except the Halo

Paul Amlehn - Concept, catalyst texts, titles, editing, spoken word performance, decision to remove spoken word, production
Robert Fripp - Soundscapes
Joan Jeanrenaud - Electric cello, mixing of cello and soundscapes
Gerhard Richter -  Painting

This composition is from the album Saudade.

The album was to have soundscapes by Robert Fripp (King Crimson), electric cello by Joan Jeanrenaud (Kronos Quartet), and spoken word by myself. In the end, I decided that the music said more without the spoken word, so I took my contributions off the album. However, Joan composed, in part, her cello to the poems I wrote, so the texts nonetheless remain in the compositions dissolved and woven in at a subliminal level.

narration: these days one has to cope with these days - that's basic dialectics, isn't it

behold the golem at the helm
made of silence, made of clay
this is your home, this is your realm
how much does an inked word weigh

bailiffs live the coral life
elder masters clad in kelp
men may snorkel, hegels dive
words confuse, there is no help

if the undead self arrives from voodoo space
if the unmet I is just AI
if shadows shed redeeming grace
if jojo dialectics are all lie
who will prompt the prompts and question questions
who will prompt the prompts and question questions

"Tears in Morning Dew Waltz No.365 (Original Composition)” - A melancholic broken heart waltz that captures the essence of longing and nostalgia. Composed with a poignant melody that echoes the depths of my broken heart, this piece invites listeners to immerse themselves in its soothing yet sorrowful beauty. As a composer and countertenor, I’ve poured my emotions into this waltz, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that resonates with the soul.

Detail:  C Major, 4/4-time, 120 BPM 

Watch, listen, and feel the emotions.
