Night Letters - A collection of ‘audio interpretations’ of telegrams from the early 1900s. Each track is based on a portion of a real transmitted message.

Historically, telegrams were sent between a network of interconnected telegraph offices. A person visiting a local telegraph office would have their message telegraphed by morse code to another office, translated, and then delivered on a paper form. As with any form of communication, the messages could be routine, melancholy, joyous, or devastating.

The need to keep these messages short, and then reading them many decades later, provides plenty of room for imagination.

(Scans of actual telegrams were viewed at the Internet Archive)

Chapter 220 of 266

Enter the enigmatic world of "TAFFETA," a musical tapestry woven from the threads of dreams and tragedy. Born from a single night of profound dreaming, this ambitious project embarks on an exploration of the human psyche through the language of instrumental music.

This is a five-year project, comprising of what will eventually end at 266 chapters, each is a standalone piece of sonic artistry, "TAFFETA" unfolds like a novel, with each composition serving as a chapter in a larger narrative. Crafted with meticulous care and creative fervor, every piece is birthed within the span of a week, capturing the essence of inspiration in its purest form.

But "TAFFETA" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a journey of the soul. Set against the backdrop of loss and longing, the project follows the story of a woman who slips into a coma following the untimely death of her husband. Through the evocative power of music, listeners are transported into her world, where emotions ebb and flow like the tides of a restless sea.

Week by week, each chapter of "TAFFETA" unfolds on SoundCloud, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in its haunting beauty. From cinematic compositions to haunting electronic soundscapes, each piece adds a layer to the intricate tapestry of sound, weaving a narrative that transcends the boundaries of language.

As listeners embark on this sonic voyage, they are invited to ponder the mysteries of existence, to confront the depths of sorrow and the resilience of the human spirit. "TAFFETA" is not merely a musical project; it's an experience—a testament to the transformative power of music to touch hearts, stir souls, and awaken the imagination.

LYRICS ROUGHLY ..  i wandered off lol and didn't use some . 
She's my eastern girl ,
in her eastern world
turning mountains into sand
with a wave of her hand 
my eastern girl ...
she's my eastern dream
makes me see serene 
from sadness to a joy
nothing can destroy
my eastern girl 
my eastern girl ..
.. and when the sunrise comes
   i look her way 
   and when the sun go down 
   i've lost my frown
    when she's around
my eastern girl .. 
(came and changed my world 
darkness into light 
and her light blinds my eyes 
my eastern girl ..

An original track by artist Pacôme from Paris

In short... I merged my song about Water with Pacôme song Water and we get Emerging Water. Words are reimagined from my song The Elixir Key

Listen to 📜The Elixir Key by The Beautiful Dark on #SoundCloud

Full lyrics to follow

Yeah
Watering a word way...
What do the orbs say?
We found French focus freed
A la Paris
A la Paris
Flavour brie
Cuts of cheese
Elixir keys
Elixir keys
Sois la brise
A la Paris

Oui

It seems like an age since yesterday
Tomorrow is a cloud faraway
The words we say
The games we play
Boom the thunder sounds
Now, tamed

The feelings hail
Bemused curtailed
Thoughts have wandered bliss on the smoothest trail
We've gone and saved this from grey
It's black and white today
Refracted rainbow now freed
Water tunes this light
Triangular tease
Sois eau. Sois brise
A la Paris
Oui

(Note: these lyrics are inspired by points that Bill Bryson uses to describe the amazingness of water in teh best book ever... A Short History of Nearly Everything... He's a true genius that man) -(Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RStZ73GpU8E)
Life's essential ingredient
Molecular dance
Surface tension
H2O of life
'Got Earth early
Rolling right
Just this and light
Now breathe

Emerging Water

I was angry, because I couldn't play this beautiful piece, because I'm lefthanded but hold the guitar as righthanded. So I'm happy to present this. With many thanks to Don for the link to the midi.
