I'm lost for words... What a superb collaboration!

That's good, isn't it! I thought so :)). I thought also it was a very appropriate mixture of mystical and resoluteness. Thanks, Jeff!!

Very sympathetic collaboration. And I much like the poem.

Very mysterious, sophisticated and original. An almost magical event in this otherwise half transparent world. Congrats on this excellent collaboration.

Opening to Blade Runner vibes here, yet so excitingly original.

Юли  (original here:  https://soundcloud.com/evelina-miteva/july)

Какво е бог, какво са боговете.
Сянка, потеглила по пътя.
Повей, откъснал се от клоните.
Хляб, изпечен рано сутрин,
И вишната, която бавно се налива,
Докато минавам, на път към фурната,
Докато минавам – лека като повея,
Невидима за лятото, издължена сянка, 
докато минавам в божието утро.

July

What is god, what are the gods.
A shadow, going down the way.
A breeze, torn off the branches.
Bread, baked early in the morning,
And that sour cherry, slowly ripening,
As I am passing, on my way to the bakery,
As I am passing - light as breeze,
Invisible to the summer, a tall shadow,
as I am passing through God's morning.

Indian summer:
dragonfly shadows seldom
brush the window.

An all-interval 12-tone row (serialism!) gets repeated over and over (minimalism!), but the tones are gradually revealed as 4th harmonics of implicit fundamentals (spectralism!) that get randomly (aleatoricism!) replaced, in each clarinet's part, by other harmonics.  The result is not midway between tonality and atonality, but rather, paradoxically fully committed to both logics at all times.  The harmonic cloud around the row gradually obscures its structure, and something happens at the midway point that may only seem obvious to the listener who gets to the end and goes back to the beginning.  This imparts a certain approximate symmetry (formalism!).  

The affect of the effect reminds the composer of butterfly flight, and the title refers, casually, to some recent research concerning how that all actually works.   The hidden crucial moment might suggest a "butterfly effect," but chaos theory is not literally implicated in the piece.

The practical score will call for three players even though effectively the work sounds as a mere duet.

Having written a through-composed folk song for February Album Writing Month 2011, I sampled my demo from YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My_7VH9PRw4 )and used this as the backbone for my assembled tragedy.

Добрият плувец

Всеки ден по изгрев слънце
излизаше на плажа.
Влизаше в морето,
големите му стъпала
несигурно опипваха студения пясък.
Внимателно през водата, равна и утринна,
после се гмурваше
целият изведнъж.
Загребваше с големи шепи, с решимост и сила
към предела, където вълните се пенят.
Океанът го избутваше назад, всеки ден,
но той беше добър плувец.
На петия ден
надхитри океана, надви над мощните като стена вълни
и се оказа отвъд, в открито море.
Обвит в хоризонт, обвит в океан.
И в следващия миг – повлечен
от теченията, от дълбокото и далечното,
сам и безсилен,
добър плувец, отишъл твърде далеч.
Панически ръцете, краката, всичко човешко
го тласка да се върне на сигурно.
И по-страшното – да се връща ли?

The Good Swimmer

Every day at sunrise
He was going out to the beach.
He was stepping into the sea,
His big feet
Groping the cold sand uncertainly.
Carefully through the water, flat in the morning,
Тhen he dived
All at once.
He was taking big strokes with his palms, determind and strong,
To the limit where the waves foam.
The ocean was pushing him back, every day –
But he was a good swimmer.
On the fifth day
He outwitted the ocean, won over the waves holding him back as a firm wall
And found himself in an open sea.
Shrouded in horizon, shrouded in ocean.
And in the next moment – dragged
By the currents, by the deep and the far,
Alone and powerless –
A good swimmer who went too far.
His panicked arms, legs, anything human
Are pushing him back to safety.
But the worst – should he go back?
