The Dream of Dr Pangloss (The Seeds of Doubt)

VIDEO ANIMATION at https://vimeo.com/697211730

I’m in the mountains of the moon
Shining
In the mountains of the moon
Shining down

I got out
Maybe too late
From a city named after a state
Named after a mistake

And we’re sawed off
Against the grain
Traded rush-hour in a bumper car
For the A-train

And then, surprise, you’re 
Covered in signs you don’t recognize
What you think you need you realize is 
Stubbornly elsewhere
Stubbornly elsewhere

uh-hmm

You grow up
And you move out
Collecting success in another man’s
Knock down and drag out 

Then, surprise, 
The whole thing’s just been serialized
What you thought was near you realize is 
Stubbornly elsewhere
Stubbornly elsewhere

Elsewhere, stubbornly elsewhere
Elsewhere, stubbornly elsewhere

I’m in the mountains of the moon
Shining
In the mountains of the moon
Shining down
Elsewhere, stubbornly elsewhere
Elsewhere, stubbornly elsewhere

Boom, surprise, 
Look at how the time just flies
And every face you recognize
Suddenly elsewhere
Suddenly elsewhere
Stubbornly elsewhere
Stubbornly elsewhere

Stubbornly Elsewhere

a boat for cutting reeds in the morning
has begun to emerge

Mizuhara Shuoshi was a 20th century Japanese poet. Shuoshi rebelled against the principles of emotional detachment in haiku, which he thought limited his ability to emotionally express himself through poetry: he started a magazine called Staggerbush which focused on a more romantic, lyrical type of haiku.

Evening Sky Silhouettes Deepen(naviarhaiku471)

lovely to sit at @stellato-strings piano again and record improvisations again for the first time in 2023. more pieces to be made in the coming weeks from yesterday afternoon's session. for starters here's me, the piano and its harmonics, the wind chimes outside, Audacity editing and the life game of chance (there's no such thing as chance) at play.

This is this week's response to the weekly Naviar Haiku challenge:

Evening sky,
the silhouettes of farmers in their fields
deepen.

(translated by James Abrams)

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 18th January 2023

Silhouettes (naviarhaiku 471)

this fourth part of the playlist partially takes up the theme of the first track (which I would like to re-record as soon as possible) with the addition of several recordings over time starting from October 2021. 
some internal parts belong to independent projects and merged into this song.  The vocal is a voice message sent to me by the precious friend Ugo Pisco Lùmaja and has been treated with elektron octatrack mkII.  
the same sample has repeatedly used for the developing of other projects including: Last night dream pt.I 
I spent several days working out on the structure and trying to adjust the volumes to get an acceptable mix.
Hope you enjoy.

Work in progress.

Èṡili Eṡìlii (part.IV)

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). And(low tech) insect photography.
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).
