Isaac Albéniz: Asturias (Suite Española, Op. 47)

Say To Them,
‘ man has fled from the jungle to punish his ignorance
has run from the labyrinth of his circuitry 
chardonnay bottles in lit caverns of white paint
office & tomb & man himself saying:
“teach me the nature of numbers
so i can add justification
to the subtraction of my compassion
while dividing my spirit
amongst multiplying distractions.
let ‘x’ be the variable for my emptiness
than i can hide it in impossible equations.” ’

Say To Them,
‘ you stiff women of waterless marvel
you hopeful men who venerate destruction
you fearful cloud in a nursery of otherwise bold & newborn stars
where you possess color, you darkly wander
where you possess language, you poison minds
where you possess light, you hide in shadow
where you possess fire, you burn in cruelty
“Vague” (being safe enough 
to be holy) speaks for every other world,
while skeptics study the death of stars
where you have visionaries, the diagnosis is madness
where you have saints, the sentence is slaughter
where you have food, the land is begging
you should have kept the saints around. ’

Say To Them,
‘ man has fled from the wilderness 
to trot about on ruthless stone
he lifts his face to no celestial sky
he blinks away sharp flashes from erected glass
he thumbs his wallet to recall some green royalty 
but sooner would starve 
than be caught spending a red dime
yes, man has fled from his child to abuse himself
to grow down & advance towards bone
while ignoring all mirrors ’

Say To Them,
‘ woman has carried her gift
woman, doing the work of god
the work of a painter, an artist, a lunatic
she delivers mankind unto the sociopaths of earth
sheltering her babe until his size can knock her down
fifteen now, no longer content with her provisions
he knocks his knuckles in painful pride &
practices the ways of his terrible brothers
(monkey saw too many things)
he puts the man who slapped his mother down 
on the marble floor, & leans over his bruised 
squirm with a serrated blade 
(“boyfriend” won’t be seen here again)
mama’s boy now twenty-eight
he wakes to snort coke & stock shelves for a tyrant 
whose moods are so loud even customers quiver
twenty-eight’s misery is evident:
perfection is boring, & anything shy of it 
is far too complicated ’

Say To Them,
‘ woman & man are not but 
punishers unto themselves
unbeknownst to beauty,
they would look with cold anguish 
at their perfect salvation, & turn (unclothed) 
flaying their skin with wires 
shin-deep in the sting of arctic snow 
later soaking their frozen burns in vinegar 
the heart of love can barely witness
how deeply they loathe their every pore ’

Say To Them,
‘ man is ugly by his own choosing
for even an instant of beauty is beauty.
(why descend from that instant)
as if it were his virtue, this supposed 
maturity of acceptance - to shrink 
from transcendental absolution 
back into the ache of purgatory 
man thinks, “but there is another day 
& work to be done.” 
& there is.
but not for a pause (after paradise
has glistened before him) does man consider
he can take up even heaven with his pickax & lantern
& invite even the laughter of angels 
into the musk of the damp mine where he writhes ’

Los Angeles, California serves as home base for the concept group called Vitamin String Quartet. The group is made up of studio musicians who are brought together to interpret and record orchestra style covers of music from all types of genres ranging metal, techno, country, pop, rock and hip-hop dance music. While the quartet uses a wide assortment of artists and instruments, one fairly constant member of the group is violinist Tom Tally. Tally has been intimately involved in the composing, arranging and conduction of many songs on approximately 50 of the albums that have been recorded by the group. While the group is referred to as a string quartet, the reality is that more individuals are usually involved, using instruments such as violins, cellos, percussion, brass and woodwinds. The group was originally brought together in 1999 as an experimental project. They wanted to determine the effects of using classical style instruments to create new and different sounds on popular recordings. Early on, the FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH would play the group's music 24 hours a day, every day, for a period of time. The popularity of the group's music has led to the music being featured on TV and in the movies. Credits include So You Think You Can Dance (2008), TV show The Vampire Diaries (2010), the 100th episode of Gossip Girl and the fifth season finale of Modern Family (2014). Throughout the years, the group has been involved in the recording of over 200 different albums. In 2009, the group stepped out of the box a bit and recorded some original material provided by some of the various musicians on the album Per_Versions.
