Far Away

This is my entry for Ryan Leach's April 2024 composing competition. The task was to compose a piece to a picture of Mont Saint Michel behind a field of flowers (with a max. length of 90 seconds).

For the composition process I pictured the following story / imaginary movie in my head:
A little boy travels to Mont Saint Michel to join the monastry as a novice. On his way he passes a beautiful field of flowers. He's cheerful, light-footed and almost dancing.
When he discovers the monastry in the distance he gets overwhelmed by awe.
In the last passage, we see the boy growing up in the monastry and becoming an educated, well respected young monk.

The Little Novice

Turning Point

I worked on this theme a few years ago, but imagining and producing a different result and atmosphere (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/the-statue-removal). Today things have changed a bit, and going back to that music I thought it was necessary to eliminate the final vocalisms (too cheerful) and make the atmosphere darker.

On 23 October 1956 two hundred thousand Hungarians took to the streets of Budapest to express solidarity with the Poles and their recent political changes. Among the things they demanded was the removal of the statue of Stalin, erected in Városliget, the city's main park.
The revolutionaries demolished the statue, leaving only its boots, on which they planted a Hungarian flag.
On the following events, which are well known, there is no need to return here.

It’s been a while since Terry and I have released a Texas Tea collaboration, but we finally got hold of one.  This is called ‘Overflow’.  Terry started this one off, as is the case with most Texas Tea tracks and I went in with a flashlight to find all the cool spots that were primed for some twangy ambience. Terry did the mix and production honors and this one was out the door !  Enjoy the mellow 🍄‍🟫🧘‍♂️👽

Marco Lucchi & Jacques Lemaire -  Soliloquy [to be or not to be]

Abidemi is a feminine name, meaning born in the absence of her father.

This is one of the tracks included in the Mediterrâneo piece (https://soundcloud.com/jfcpetruscastrus/mediterraneo-full-v38-x05). 

Here I took out the track and made some small additions.

Market sound from Freesound 406313

Abidemi nasceu na ausência do seu pai, que partira para um porto de mar. Marujo num navio rumo ao Sul, rumo ao Sol, no horizonte. Abidemi cresceu à espera do seu pai que partira para nunca mais voltar. Ele nunca lhe escreveu, nem a viu a olhar o poente. A olhar...
