Wandering for love on a one-way street
Peering in the cracks where wicked things creep
get out your game and make up your mind
when it comes down to it
none of us are that wandering kind
Stick a pin in it.

Groveling for fame where authoritarians haunt
isn't something just anyone wants
take a look at the jester's name
when we hear the song he sings
he often won't heed the rhythm or the ring
so just stick a pin in it.

Got some voodoo for you- know- who?
Stick a pin in it

Stick a pin in it
don't jump in so quick
stick a pin in it
it's not really so sick
we're running out if time
stick a pin in it
we need to save all our minds
stick a pin in it.

"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.🌱
