Don't look now
But there's a fifty foot woman
Marching toward
Your favorite city

She looks mad
Muttering something about the guts
You never had...

There was a time when your charm set off alarms
Among the young women in your circle
But you played them so aloof
And now they're tearing off your roof
To reach in and grab you not so tenderly
And as you twist and shout, 'Oh, no, it wasn't me!'
They whip their hair back to drink in your distress
And laugh with abandon at your helplessness!

You may wake up to find it was just a dream
Or maybe you've discovered your new reality
The hearts you're breaking, the liberties you're taking 
May catch up with you
In a midnight rendezvous
May catch up with you
in a late show rendezvous...

March of the 50 Foot Women

„Dünengeflüster“ (02.08.2023 )

Der Klang der Wüste. Die flüsternde Stille der Natur die Dir etwas zu erzählen hat.
Du bist ein Sandkorn in der unendlichen Weite der Wüste.

Der Wind verweht Dich kleines Sandkorn. Du bist nichts, die Wüste ist alles.
Sie verschlingt Dich. Du bist kleiner als ein Insekt. Wanderst von Düne zu Düne.

Höre das zarte flüstern der Düne. Lausche achtsam dem heißen Wüstenwind „Calima“ was er Dir zu erzählen hat.

Vielen Dank für Eure geschätzte Aufmerksamkeit.

"Dune Whisper" (08/02/2023 )

The sound of the desert. The whispering silence of nature that has something to tell you.
You are a grain of sand in the vastness of the desert.

The wind blows you little grain of sand. You are nothing, the desert is everything.
She devours you. You are smaller than an insect. Walk from dune to dune.

Hear the soft whisper of the dunes. Listen carefully to what the hot desert wind “Calima” has to tell you.

Thank you for your valued attention.

Book 5 Canto 6 verse 5

As if before she had not counted trew.
  For houres but dayes; for weekes, that passed were,
  She told but moneths, to make them seeme more few:
  Yet when she reckned them, still drawing neare,
Each hour did seeme a moneth, & euery moneth a yeare

Nel Museo nazionale romano di palazzo Altemps si conserva una testa in marmo che secondo la tradizione rappresenta un’Erinni addormentata. Gli occhi chiusi, i ciuffi dei capelli scarmigliati sulla fronte e la guancia, le labbra appena dischiuse, il volto della Furia – se di una Furia si tratta, sia essa Aletto, Megera o Tisifone – riposa quieto su un cuscino di buio marmo, come se sognasse.
Una furia che invece di gemere e urlare, scuotendo la chioma serpentina, chiude gli occhi e sogna, smentisce se stessa. Eppure proprio e soltanto il sogno o il sonno di una furia assomiglia al pensiero. Il pensiero non è soltanto contemplazione, è innanzitutto furore. Si dà pensiero, si dà contemplazione, solo se prima vi è stato furore, se guardando l’abominio degli umani e del mondo, la mente – diceva Bruno – discesa «ne la parte più inferna… si sente lacerare e sbranare». E solo se nel nostro eroico furore riusciamo a chiudere gli occhi e sognare, si ha vera quiete, si ha visione e teoria. I nostri sogni non sono allora fantasie a occhi aperti, che sappiamo ingannevoli e vane, ma verità a cui, anche se con gli occhi chiusi, non possiamo non credere, perché abbiamo prima visto la vendetta e l’errore. Il pensiero è questo acquietarsi del furore, è un’Erinni che sogna.

Furore che sogna [1]

Devil Below

Composed, arranged, performed, and produced by:
Carlos Vivanco

For this composition, I am using the Diminished scale.
The half-whole diminished scale is one of the most commonly used scales in jazz soloing. Its main function is to add alterations to the dominant 7 chords. This creates a great deal of tension which usually resolves when the dominant moves to the tonic chord.  I have included a PDF that explains the alterations added to a dominant 7 chord, 2 lines, that use the diminished scale, and a sheet explaining patterns within the scale.
Once you have become comfortable with the half/whole diminished scale, you can then start looking for interesting patterns within it. If we look at the notes again, we will see that there are several major triads within the scale (Please note that to be clear, enharmonic equivalents are used): C–Db–Eb–E–F#–G–A–Bb

I was born in Leicester in the late 1950's. Since semi-retirement and subsequent retirement (as a Dermatologist and formerly G.P) I have spent some of my spare time trying to learn music theory. I also enjoy long distance running as well as cycling, skiing and tennis. I enjoy cooking, gardening and growing a few vegetables. And fine wine (in moderation). I enjoy insect photography, with a particular interest in hoverflies..
To my regret I never learnt a musical instrument when younger but I have listened to and been fascinated by music for as long as I can remember. The advent of the computer age has allowed me to pursue my desire to compose music. I use Logic Pro X software (and MuseScore3 for recent piano compositions). My compositions reflect my varied listening preferences (including Contemporary Classical, Jazz and  Music from other cultures around the world).
