Wow Raphael, you should be a household name, Like Beethoven or Strauss this is yet another beautiful and brilliant Composition. Johnny

i adore what a real musician can do with instruments other than guitar ( my staple my whole songwriting career) absolutely a joy to listen to

magnificent and uplifting w/just a hint of klezmer!

Wonderful! You say are are "self taught non-professional"... Can I enroll in that school? There's nothing non-profesional about your composition & production skills...

How very lovely, and like the art picture too!😊

Let Them Eat Soap

For this track I used volca drum for the lofi beat as I've often done lately. Many of the synth lines are made with the minilogue xd, but I also tested out a modern wavetable vst (vital), a type of synthesis I haven't yet experimented with much. You can hear it in the deep resonant line that comes in for the final minute or so. I'm looking forward to further experimenting with it!

The photo is from a  strange national park in Utah called Goblin Valley  that has a lot of interesting rock forms. I spent some time camping with friends there years ago, though I didn't take this particular photo.

Alien Landscapes

The word "Ta ・ DA ・ i ・ Ma" is used by Japanese people every day. When I get home, I speak when I open the front door. To be heard by the family. Some are pet cats. When one turns on the lamp in a room where no one lives alone, he quietly says "Ta, DA, i, Ma".
This song is the music of the words that I, who lost confidence, uttered toward my heart.

Hydra is the largest of the 88 modern constellations, measuring 1303 square degrees, and also the longest at over 100 degrees. Its southern end borders Libra and Centaurus and its northern end borders Cancer.[1] It was included among the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy. Commonly represented as a water snake, it straddles the celestial equator.

questa è la mia personale interpretazione del "Four organs" di Steve Reich .. non la considero una versione definitiva, ma giusto un primo approccio, un tentativo .. se qualcuno è interessato a condividere con me il piacere di lavorare su quel bellissimo pezzo mi faccia sapere .. sono ben accetti sia rielaborazioni che parti vocali o strumentali da aggiungere .. su Bandcamp, in forma di 'bonus track', trovate anche il brano originale

***

Four Organs is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation (lengthening) of individual tones within a single (dominant 11th) chord. The tones within the chord gradually extend out like a sort of horizontal bar graph in time. As the chord stretches out, slowly resolving to the tonic A and then gradually changing back to the dominant E, a sort of slow-motion music is created. The maracas lay down a steady time grid of even eighth-notes throughout, enabling the performers to play together while mentally counting up to as much as 256 beats on a given cycle of sustained tones.


Four Organs is the only piece I am aware of that is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation of individual tones within a single chord. From the beginning to the end there are no changes of pitch or timbre; all changes are rhythmic and simply consist of gradually increasing durations. This process of augmentation was suggested by the enormous elongation of individual tenor notes in Organum as composed by Perotin and others in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral. Tenor notes that in the original chant may have been equivalent to our quarter- or half-notes can take several pages of tied whole-notes when augmented by Perotin or Leonin.


Four Organs was composed in January 1970. It was first performed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City by myself and members of my own ensemble later that same year. It also turned out to be one of my first pieces to be heard by a large concert-going public when Michael Tilson Thomas invited me to perform it with him and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston in 1971 and at Carnegie Hall in 1973, where it provoked a riot.

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - MoonSoon

Another day, another headline!  Today’s #MusicalMinute sees the return of the Duduk, an instrument I always turn to when I want to evoke humanity.  Does anyone else feel that economic tectonic plates are shifting?  Meanwhile, the music continues oblivious, with a little dance through the dimension of time…
