Six Hundred Years Of Darkness

One Tear Before Death

One Tear Before

dac insomniac + r.s.stropharia - live impro-set (18.02.2019)

With great apologies to Mr Steve Reich for paying homage to his amazing Four Organs with my Four Melodicas! There are two tempo feels going on here - the synth arpeggios are at 138bpm but the industrial style drums and bass are at half-time. Pseudo-random disruptions add an element of chaos and dub-type effects to the proceedings while the melodicas distract from the four beats to the bar by being in 13/8.

Traduzioni (Ilaria Boffa)

Una precisa geografia di pioppi bianchi
frassini e aceri circonda quest’area fluviale.
Narrazione di fruscii, conversazioni rumorose.
Traduzioni. Ciò che sentiamo e il linguaggio
udibile implicano indagini
sui modi di ascolto dell’altro.
In dubbio l’affettività, il riverbero degli oggetti
che scontra soggetti oltre noi.
Dentro quei metri cubi di suolo e aria
il suono prende spazio, costruisce e colpisce.
Neuro-trasforma e impatta la plasticità
delle cose.
Abbiamo tradotto le nostre voci in 
riferimenti e formulazioni. Ora, ascoltami.

География (Nata Boundariver)

На свете так много мест, куда я не смогу попасть.
Попасть бы хотя бы туда, где я есть.
Почти нигде и почти никогда.
Забытое слово я.

English versions:

Translations (Ilaria Boffa)

A clear geography of silver poplars 
ashes and maples surrounds this fluvial area.
A narrative of rustles, chatting loudly.
Translations. What we hear and the language
that makes it audible imply investigations 
on others’ listening modes.
We question affectivity, objects’ reverbs 
crashing into beings beyond us.
Inside those cubic metres of soil and air
noise spacialises, builds and hits. 
It neuroshapes and impacts the plasticity 
of things.
We translated our voices into exact
references and wording. Now, hear.

Geography (Nata Boundariver)

There are so many places in the world where I cannot get.
Get at least where I am.
Almost nowhere and almost never.
Forgotten word I am.
