wow. Utterly brilliant. Magnificent tone. I love this.

can't get enough of this. I'm going to stop commenting so just assume that I love it. ❤️

What a stunning piece, and your interplay is fantastic.

Im Abendrot is the fourth and final song in Strauss's song cycle, The Four Last Songs. Written just before his death, these songs are set to poems written by Herman Hesse, Joseph Karl Benedikt & Freiherr von Eichendorff. They are widely recognized among the most beautiful music ever written for the soprano voice. 

Vocals by Stacie Eirich, piano by Tom Jesty. Recorded in isolation in 2021, following an online masterclass lead by The Choir of the Earth & Ms. Lucy Cox.

Im Abendrot 

Wir sind durch Not und Freude
Gegangen Hand in Hand,
Vom Wandern [ruhn wir beide]1
Nun überm stillen Land.

Rings sich die Thäler neigen,
Es dunkelt schon die Luft,
Zwei Lerchen nur noch steigen
Nachträumend in den Duft.

Tritt her, und laß sie schwirren,
Bald ist es [Schlafenszeit]2,
Daß wir uns nicht verirren
In dieser Einsamkeit.

O weiter stiller Friede!
So tief im Abendrot,
Wie sind wir wandermüde -- 
Ist [das]3 etwa der Tod?

Authorship by Joseph Karl Benedikt, Freiherr von Eichendorff (1788 - 1857), "Im Abendrot"

In the twilight

Through adversity and joy 
We've gone hand in hand;
We rest now from our wanderings
Upon this quiet land.

Around us slope the valleys,
The skies grow dark;
Two larks alone are just climbing,
As if after a dream, into the scented air.

Come here and let them whir past,
For it will soon be time to rest;
We do not wish to get lost
In this solitude.

O wide, quiet peace, 
So deep in the red dusk...
How weary we are of our travels --
Is this perhaps - Death? --

Im Abendrot (In the Twilight): The Four Last Songs, composed by Richard Strauss

A Slow Day

Daz Gaz

Moody atmospheric track with a strong beat and instrumental edge.

Before

This track is an asynchronous duet with @Krakenkraft. Based on the great track https://soundcloud.com/winterer/the-patient-earthworm-disquiet0591 I added further elements with the idea to transform the earthworm of the first part to a caterpillar dreaming of an unknown future...

The beautiful cover-art of this track was kindly provided by @the_robocat.

This track was played in the Trinitatis Kirke in Copenhagen. At the time there was a wonderful organ recital in progress, so I felt compelled to create this track. It was played on the Moog Model 15 app. Effects from Eventide were added later on.

I think this piece is so deep. one of the most successful of 2020 in terms of experimentation. it was born from a cubase session done by chance, and when I resumed the original idea I was not very convinced .. but I continued looking for solutions and the final result gave me full satisfaction. it was a vertical descent into one's cave to bring you light. a truly cathartic acoustic experience for me.
