Spontaneous Thoughts Past Morning

ALFONSO LLORENTE: LYRICS, VOCALS, ACOUSTIC GUITAR, ELECTRIC GUITAR, BASS, DRUMS & SYNTHS

This pandemia shut me down from my friends & peers, and my life became trapped in a bottle in the middle of the sea of loneliness....

LOST IN A SEA OF LONELINESS

Sometimes life seems to be 
Trapped in a bottle lost in the sea
Somedays a bird comes to me
Just to sing what I have to be
And the wind opens my door
To let the secrets take me to the moors
And all I know is that I want more
Of your love to push me to the shores
Oh yeah!

If only the waves were my dreams
I wouldn´t feel as it seems
My solitude is like a beam
And I can´t even scream!
How can I get out of this bottle?
I know that I´m lost in my castle
My life feels unsettle
I´m nobody´s apostle
Oh no! no, no

We´re lost in sea of loneliness
Lost in a sea of loneliness
Lost in a sea of loneliness

Sometimes life seems to be 
Trapped in a bottle lost in the sea
And the wind opens my door
To let the secrets take me to the moors
And all I know is that I want more
Of your love to push me to the shores

LOST IN A SEA OF LONELINESS (Alfonso Llorente)

quirky, repetitive, catchy(?) little ditty

dad-dadi-dum ("work-song")

The title comes from Steve Fullyard who heard a preview of the song and went into a trance for a couple minutes haha. 
He comes out of it and asks if I had a title, I said no and he says "Vimana". So I had to look that up and thought it fits great.

PROGRAM NOTES
My original intent with this work was to write a set of four independent miniatures. After writing the first maximally-sized one, I decided to change course: these four "miniatures" are now my String Quartet No. 1.

Although these four movements are designed to be independent, small amounts of material are used interchangeably between each movement. Most notably, material from the first two movements is used in the third, and material from the third movement is used in the fourth.

The most prominent aural feature of the first movement, Fast and Sprightly, is the recurring "clarion" motive. This motive evolves into various thematic gestures and also reappears in the next two movements. Another prominent feature of the first movement is the use of jazz references. The string quartet is required to "swing," a style of playing usually only utilized by jazz musicians and big bands.

The second movement, Logy, begins by parodying North American, southern-style country waltzes. While composing this movement, I had visions of my mother interrupting "Three good ol’ boys fiddlin’ on a porch in Rabun Gap, GA," quipping at them to stop. The quipping is represented by the first violinist interjecting the "Rob–ert" theme. This strange, surrealistic daydream probably originates from memories of my mother calling my name from the other side of the bedroom door when I was a boy.

A section called "Andrew Lloyd Webber Disease" occurs in the middle of the second movement. This section is a schizophrenic alternation of a sick, dissonant, violin duo with an Andrew Lloyd Webber-sounding viola and cello duo. By the end of the movement, my mother joins the "Good ol’ boys" for a final song, after they have all become sick from eating too many boiled peanuts.

The third movement, Sad, Luscious Adagio, uses material from the first and second movements, but at a much slower tempo. Each player has a featured solo in this movement: the cellist plays a solo in double-stops and the violinist plays one made up of almost entirely artificial harmonics. The second violin and viola solos are intended to highlight the instruments’ singing qualities and the performers’ lyrical abilities. As with Logy, I use material recycled from previous movements.

Although the fourth movement, Energetic Polka, is not a strict polka, it has a polka-like beginning. It also contains a few short "quotes," the most notable one being the appropriation of the melodic line from the theme song from the television show The Love Boat.

Material from other movements is also used in Energetic Polka, particularly by the cello. The cellist never has a chance to play the "Pseudo-fugato" theme in Logy, so the cellist "aggressively" reintroduces it in this movement. Energetic Polka ends with a section entitled "Hyperfast shimmy and shake."
