HOT AIR BALLOON UNDER A COLD MOON

Dark Templar

This work that features Italian Soprano Silvia Pepe explores the possibility of a revolution, a Revolution of the Mind.  Is it possible to still have a truly independent thought in this era that is dominated by the Information Society who attempts to manipulate the minds of the people and control the narrative by spreading false, deceptive and misleading information.   

Silvia Pepe sings lines from Puccini's Tosca "e avanti a lui tremava tutta Roma."  and "io quella lama gli piantai nel cor".    Translated "and all of Rome trembled before him."  and " I planted that blade in his heart".   

Vincent Eoppolo recites his poem Revolution of the Mind

Revolution of the Mind feat Silvia Pepe

Played a vintage, GDR era, analog string synth (Vermona Piano-Strings) with some keys taped down to free my hands. Sent it through a filter bank emphasizing the vocal formants and then into a legendary phaser pedal with wooden cheeks. Accompanied by Moog Subharmonicon and a simple bass patch on the modular synth.

Walking the sky ( Naviarhaiku 305 )

naviarhaiku305: walking the sky

Arpentant le ciel,
Une lune dégagée
Seule.

(Haiku de Ogiwara Seisensui)

空をあゆむ朗朗と月ひとり (naviarhaiku305)

Walking the sky
a clear moon
all alone

Ogiwara Seisensui was a Japanese haiku poet active during the Taishō and Showa periods of Japan. He started the school of free haiku which made Ozaki Hōsai and Taneda Santoka popular. In 1911 Seisensui, with the support of Kawahigashi Hekigodo (1873-1937), founded the literary magazine Soun.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
