In questo Natale: Onorare la Madre per dare maggior onore al Figlio!
This Christmas: Honor the Mother to give greater honor to the Son!

"Giglio della convalle tu fosti sempre,
Rosa soave, uliva speciosa,
vigna fruttifera, spiga santa.
I tuoi profumi ci hai dato e l’Olio di vita;
i tuoi profumi ci hai dato e il Vino dei forti,
e il Pane che preserva da morte lo spirito.

Giglio della convalle eterna tu sei,
Astro della Celeste Gerusalemme,
Gaudio dei cori angelici e dei santi,
Paradiso della Trinità, o Maria. 
Maria."
(Preghiera dell’ Apostolo Giovanni a Maria dormiente, poi assunta. Parole di M. Valtorta)

"You have always been the lily of the valley,
A sweet rose, a fragrant olive,
A fruitful vine, a holy ear of corn.
You have given us your perfumes and the Oil of life;
You have given us your perfumes and the Wine of the strong,
And the Bread that preserves the spirit from death.

You are the lily of the eternal valley,
Aster of the heavenly Jerusalem,
The joy of the angelic choirs and the saints,
Paradise of the Trinity, O Mary.
Mary."
(Prayer of the Apostle John to Mary at her Dormition, then assumed into heaven. Words by M. Valtorta)

Fearless

Cloudspotting for violin and piano explores an 11-chord sequence traversed cyclically 10 times, where the step increases by one with every traversal. Successive traversals of the chord sequence create a generative soundscape dominated by four note patterns in the piano, groups of long notes in the violin, and unusual harmonic shifts. Floating violin phrases have inspired the title, recalling clouds in slow motion across the sky. The work aims to find unexplored possibilities, new meaning and feeling in traditional consonant harmonies and familiar sound textures.
World premiere by Dušan Panajotović, violin and Bojana Dimković, piano, at the 34th International Composers Review, Belgrade, Serbia, September 29th 2025.

THE TOAD
l was flying down state 95
just ten miles East of Blyth
Hot Rod Lincoln blaring on the radio
My ole pickup truck lt overheated
l had to stop and find some shade
underneath a Palo Verde tree
a blg ole Toad There he spoke to me
He sald "Why don't you give me just a little lick Right here, Right behind my ear

Now you may think lt's a little funny, but l can guarantee
You will thank me ln the end my Friend--

Not wanting to disappoint my new found friend
l took a little tiny lick
and washed lt down with a Beer
After Frothin at the mouth for a little blt
my Consciousness lt took a hit
and headed south ln a flood of light

There are no word that can describe what happened next-
but l can say for sure without a doubt, unequivocally
My brand new Paradigm got tangled up with my Epiphany!!

Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'Kirby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Thailand) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too.  As always Aporia may or may not record more music... guess we are halfway to an album. 

Aporia #5

My 99th piece of 2025

Happy New Year everyone!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2026
May true PEACE break out this year, among individuals, among families, among nations, throughout the EARTH.

L’ultimo tema di “MISCELLANEA II” è una mia riscrittura della canzone “Musica Dolce” del Complesso “GEN SOLE”, una melodia di altissima ispirazione. 
Il Complesso GEN SOLE nella seconda metà del secolo scorso ha creato e presentato molti brani di notevole contenuto artistico.

The final theme of "MISCELLANEOUS II" is my rewrite of the song "Musica Dolce" by the "GEN SOLE" ensemble, a melody of the highest inspiration.
In the second half of the last century, the GEN SOLE ensemble created and performed many pieces of remarkable artistic content.

Miscellanea II

Collaboration between poet Balthazar Mattar and composer Alex Nikiporenko, Pretty Tensions is an exciting new duo reviving the art of melodeclamation and striving to create original works through this practice. Their performances are visceral and intense and engage in creating an abstract atmosphere. The tension between the poetry and the music crafted carefully by the artists to intertwine with one another creates jarring and unnatural combinations which catch the audience off guard.

Both artists are highly fluent in their respective mediums through the skills and experience they have acquired at the top educational establishments. 

Pretty Tensions are hoping to establish themselves on the London arts scene and expand artistically through interdisciplinary collaborations.
