"un-controlling" for cello, piano and two ebows composed by Dika Chartoff (ASCAP 2022) 

Dave Eggar, cello
Clare Longendyke, piano
Christian Amonson, recording engineer
Louis Ng, recording engineer

In memory and celebration of my friend Ben who was a wonderful friend to so many; amazing son, brother and father; a passionate surfer and sailor who lost his life to suicide after a long battle with depression.

During the opening, characterized as Poetico quasi senza mesura (poetic and unmeasured), the e-bow is used as an ostinato - a constant sound triggered by a magnet that vibrates the piano strings. Essentially, it’s a noise that’s calming and seductive at times, but much like depression, or tinnitus, it’s an unwelcome guest. The second part, giocoso (lively and humorous), is an innocent and technical interlude that culminates in climbing adrenaline; such as surfing a giant wave. Finally, Lento Irrealmente (slow and surreal) is a free fall of reverberating, vibrations and letting go. The e-bow is not present at that moment and perhaps a sense of hope, is restored.

Welcome to my experimentation project drop in the SoundCloud; and check out my playlists of my creations and those of others I like. Back to the roots of this music - it is music for me, but I invite everyone to enjoy. It’s a growth project called “the ignorant savants” for good reason. I cannot read music. As an American, I create from a place of great ignorance while wielding great tech.  😉  I am a sometimes preachy published poet and enjoy the company of muses and educated musicians as well as garden gnome-makers like myself. I learn from you even if often ‘stuck in jam mode’, as a son has said, but it’s my best way to put my non-lyrical poetry to use musically.🌱
