Tranquil MMVII.21 [harp] Outback Art Fair 09 This is from my week-end gig at the Outback art fair in Marquette Michigan this summer.
___
This was a gig without an amplifier so you get to hear just the harp -- without an amplified room sneaking into the mikes. Some of the numbers are intentionally very short so you can use them as ring-tones. Enjoy!

Tommorrow i will play as the wedding guests arrive,
and i will play some more as they leave.
But tonight i sit alone with my harp, and i play with the lights low with the wind in the trees and the moon peeking from behind the swift moving clouds.

Before pale first light,
impressions flee...
dissolving as i wake.
My dream-world hovers
on the edge of existence,
as i quaveringly realise
the dream-nature of my thoughts.
Awakening,
they seem to linger
for a moment...
then dissolve
- a metaphor
for life.
For, consciousness...
it seems to linger...
a mind, awakening
long enough to know
it is as ephemeral
as that lucid moment...

sparkling,

And you thought there were only 52 weeks in a year! Here's something extra. I couldn't decide whether to post this music. Yet, everyone must admit, it is the last true folk music. That is to say: music that everyone knows. I hope you enjoy it. Here is a medley of a few personal favourites, from an album i recorded this week for my friend, Jaquey.

This is one of my Live experiments.
I found a tiny little Yamaha keyboard at St. Vinnie's for 75 cents one day (a PSS-1 [i think; i can't find it], perhaps it's the first 'Yamahopper'). I played around with it that morning - getting a cool little groove out of it. So, i put one of my 500-dollar studio mikes on its dinky little speaker (it didn't even have a headphone jack), and recorded its little sequencer playback ...

Live at EmmaJoe's Coffeehouse. Rhodes recorded Sunday afternoon, then played back at gig on Monday night to 'self accompany' my Live flute.

I'm sitting in a coffeeshop downstate uploading this, and Zach just asked me what my influrences are. Hmm... Paul Horn, Steve Reich...

I had my weekly gig to play (at the Holiday Inn, where i played lounge music on my Rhodes for happy hour, 6 to 9). It was the week after the tragic event we now call '9-11'. I was in a real funk, and was having trouble playing. The drunks were just doing their 'displacement activity' - getting more drunk than usual. It comes natural to drunks. They're not there for self examination.

This is another courtship song, played for Jo, before she came home from China. Good medicine.
I sent her eleven tapes. I wrote her 64 lettres (i know this, because i serialised them with Roman Numerals). Â I proposed to her in a lettre, and she chose to walk with me.

Mood Nr. 2 is another wistful Autumn piece played for Jo at home. I actually had made a low-fidelity recording of this with a little pocket digital voice recorder, and liked it a lot, so i played it again with the CD recorder rolling. Jo likes it. I hope you do too.
Next week, solo flute in the stairwell. Next harp (in 4 weeks) will be one more wistful autumnal thing from this recording, and then i'll shift gears ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache |
