Program notes:
This piece is about the distance between musical events and the difficulties posed in making connections between them. However, connections between them still somehow exist. They have to be searched for, invented, discovered. There is something disturbing in that process, but also calming. In the second part of the piece I use a text that I wrote, which gives the listeners new opportunities for constructing the flow of the music and deciphering its meaning. 

Text: 

What if we meet and I fall in love?
What if we meet and we don’t like each other?
What if we meet and we like each other 
so much, that we can not 
breathe? 

What if we meet and you start to hate me?
What if we meet and you are boring to me?
What if we meet and I seem old to you?
What if we meet and you like me more?
What if we meet and I like you more?
What if we meet and you fuck me 
so hard, that I don’t wanna
talk? 

What if we meet and I don’t like your smell?
What if we meet and you’re  not impressed 
with my body?
What if we meet and you say something wrong 
something stupid 
something cruel? 
What if we meet and you scare me?
What if we meet and we don’t understand 
each other?

What if we meet and it’s raining 
so heavily
that we have to stay inside and fuck 
all the time
and hug all the time
and talk all the time?

What if we meet and it’s sunny 
so beautiful
that we have to kiss on the grass 
all the time
hide from other people all the time
smile at each other 
all the time?

What if we meet and I hate the way you smoke 
the way you walk
the way you’re touching me?

What if we meet and you don’t like my thoughts, 
my worlds, my colors of the 
rainbow?
What if we meet and we realize that we 
are two different galaxies?
What if we meet and I feel that I’m not 
enough for you?

What if we meet and it gets awkward? 
What if we meet and I get anxious?
What if we meet and you faint?
What if we meet and …? 
                ………
                ……
                 ….
What if we never meet?

...like many surfaces of an attempt, for Schallfeld Ensemble

Violinist, pianist, chamber and orchestral musician, devoted to composing neo-classical music. 

I want to weave a gentle, emotional orchestral language, that speaks about live and touches the heart. I try to capture these ephemeral, timeless, and moving moments, transcribing them with devotion to sound and recording them in the sound studio.

The music creations are a testament to the value of retreat,
where silence gives birth to the most profound expressions, contrapuncting the noise of our world.

Thanks for your kind listening and commenting !
Helmut / HELMUTunes

We inhabit a space somewhere on the outskirts of avant-jazz and punk rock, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who collaborate with friends old and new."

❤️ Thank you for buying music from independent artists! We need to pay our rent and electricity bills, feed our cats, buy food, car insurance, and all that other stuff too...You can buy our music on Bandcamp.

Experimental ambient project realized with the use of sound overlaps, causal collisions and cosmic echoes. 
Thanks for being here, comments, opinions and collaborations are always welcome.
For a best experience, if you can, please use headphones.
