* 4 Special Guest: Poetry: The immediate original

March 7, 2013 

In the languages ​​and modern techniques is the supposed evidence in composing female and male in the division of the heart and brain; in a quadrilateral where each element is intended to separate and then it is juxtaposed with the senses and intellect.

And all this is even more true for the inclination of an “artist” or a “mathematical”

We believe to reason and discern with pieces of meat hanging in the butcher shop.

Painter: Giacomo Sonaglia 

Yet the act of writing poetry, even before writing, this is because it expresses what the body feels and emanates towards everything that is real. But expresses all using the contemplation of the sublime of every aspect of the real, which is seen as a universal act. Each poem as it is complex, it is a composition immediate with what the body expresses at the time, birth, death, the meaning of love and hate.

Cloverleaf of migrant stars (poetry comes from “Suspended Dreams”)

Everywhere I look obsequious and anxious
the four large paintings of the horizon,
that they offer the ocean from the ground chamfered
of flames that rise up the air excitedly.

The aerial messenger gives yellow
Autumn chased, severe, from
winter shadow of the leaves in heap
where they intersect the angle of the cloverleaf.

And to regain the presence of emerald
springs that erupt from essences,
these reproduce the ecstatic thaw
of the stars of the leafy stem.

Each clover is also a quadrilateral of shadows
who deny the association hidden,
but the stars migrants hearts heavenly
report the blazing grafts.

@ 6 poetically: the work consumed and the cry devoured

The Scream devoured – The ThyssenKrupp worker

Lino Milita

The anonymous dead mystified
by mysterious profits,
rummage unchanged
miserable bones,
for the annuity granted
from the ring royal
of pagan remittance.

Textures entombed
with hands that are woven
errors mythologized,
retain mediocre
meat eaten
from bondage burning
of shouts devoured.

“The Silesian Weavers” by Christian Johann Heinrich Heine (Düsseldorf, December 13, 1797 – Paris, February 17, 1856), arose after the revolt of the weavers in 1844. Today we have workers that are consumed and “non-workers” that are emptied .

Deaths from “work” indicate that this poem is not the past. Here we have a cry. And today we have even more in the scream of the dead to the “do not work”

The Silesian Weavers

In lightless eyes there are not tears.
They sit at the loom and gnash the gears.
Germany, we weave the cloth of the dead
Threefold be the curse we weave ’round your head
We’re weaving, we’re weaving.

A curse to the god to whom we knelt.
Through the winter’s cold, such hunger felt.
In the past we hoped, we waited, we cried
You’ve mocked us and poxed us and cast us aside
We’re weaving, we’re weaving.

A curse on the king of the empire,
Who would not quell our misery’s fire.
He took every penny we had to give
Then shot us like dogs with no right to live
We’re weaving, we’re weaving.

A curse on the cold, ruthless fatherland,
Where outrage and shame fester by your hand,
Where blossoms are trampled under your boot,
Where rot and decay are allowed to take root.
We’re weaving, we’re weaving.

The shuttle is flying, the weaving looms roar.
Day and night we weave with you at our door.
Old Germany, we weave the cloth of the dead.
Threefold be the curse we weave ’round your head.
We’re weaving, we’re weaving.

# 11 Contamination: Each of us is already a gem: Glenn Gould’s Goldberg Variations

February 26, 2013 

The “Goldberg Variations” (BWV 988) is a work for harpsichord consisting of an air with thirty variations, which were composed by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1741 and 1745 and published by the publisher Balthasar Schmid in Nuremberg. They are dedicated to Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, at that time he was serving as Kapellmeister to Count von Brühl in Dresden.

The work was conceived as a modular architecture of 32 tracks, arranged according to mathematical patterns and symmetries original.

Glenn Herbert Gould (Toronto, September 25, 1932 – Toronto, October 4, 1982), the pianist who made ​​every work he performed, immediate and accessible to the public, showing respect for the aesthetic sensibility of each.

In this recording Bach and Gould are together. The pianist despite sore hands for arthritis, plays the twelve variations that are divided into twelve scales for twelve tones that can be used with different instruments and sounds, giving you the chance to listen to them as if there was a present hope, beauty, compassion , smile. Gould offers a soft homesickness for the past that it now appears in a new form with nothing left behind.

Poverty and nakedness of this listening generate the possibility of the future that covers us with the mantle warm and clean, and they preserve us from some annoying speck vernacular of the present time. A real gem.

# 10 Contamination: The angel of this earth: Patti Smith

February 21, 2013 

Patti in “Glory” shares a message without apportioning blame or blood, with a blues style that is of this earth: that is for all.

 Img - Jpg

Picture taken HERE

“Gloria” in ancient languages ​​also means cheer and clap. Have someone turn up. Bring it to light. He who walks around the many and he brings the message. XLEOS: what gives off light. But sometimes it also says what comes from the darkness, from death and grief. It therefore offers hope.

“Gloria” proclaims hope from the pain, similar to the old Lutheran hymns, where there is a direct relationship with the transfigured child of God.

The musical group “The Doors” resumed and changed the text from “Them”, announcing the transfiguration as interior journey, regardless of the religious community of reference. A dream-like elevation that opens the “DOORS”. The child is already transfigured, through a unique interior journey.

Patti Smith, without detracting from the Doors and Them, takes a step forward for our future. The song is about this man who died taking charge of blood and guilt of all. She accepts the glory, the light and the message, but not as a medical disease of darkness. Not because you have to remove the stain of murder. Accept the glory of man. She opens its doors to this man, these men here on earth. Not another world. The glory here on earth for all. A secular message.

# 9 Contamination: A breath that is already melody: Nina Simone

February 18, 2013 

Nina Simone, stage name of Eunice Kathleen Waymon (Tryon, February 21, 1933 – Carry-le-Rouet, April 21, 2003).

He was a singer, pianist, writer, and activist for civil rights. It was especially jazz interpreter, although his style varied between different genres, from soul, blues, folk and gospel.

But she also expresses a musical style classic. She is an example of how the heart, technique, talent know no picket fences.

For example, in his song “Sinnerman”, we have Johann Sebastian Bach. The Toccata and fugue.

She follows the stairs with his full-bodied timbre and blood and in the regularity of counterpoint, his voice breaks out in the first minute slowly with a growing tension and withheld. Of this man who brings sleep and blunting of reason, a man she loved, but who is stingy with answers. And then she increases the timbre from the second minute and calls him, keeping order so stepped down, without excess. And then in the second minute he opened his voice. And he repeatsand with recall in rhythmic blouse, as if he corrected himself or his name from the stadium in a wave with the arm that wants attention. And then near the end of of the third minute, she takes up the rhythm and the orchestra goes alone. The rhythm is now expressed with the counterpoint. And she repeated again involving the listener and then she closes the fugue playing the piano.

 

UNIQUE. WONDERFUL. The rhythm and takes her as if it were in fugue for excellence, along with the orchestra starts and does not sing anymore: she emanates tones only with your breath! And in the seventh minute her voice, and no longer the plan, is leading the orchestra: IMMENSE.

Eva D. Cowdery (American, 20th century) “Girl Reading” on the Boston Art Club label, signed lr Eva D. Cowdery, taken from HERE

 

This was a revolutionary act.

Time for yourself and not for others.

Full time and experienced.

 

The painting has red hair and rosy lip in a single triangle of the white page with the face of intense concentration and contemplation wonderful.

Where contemplation is harmonious union already undivided green hope of affirmation of self.

She does not wait for ratings from other people’s looks and even letters of severe judgments.

I am for me in reading this air of freedom unconquerable.

# 8 Contamination: Clara Schumann: listening humble and generous sharing: the basics of excellence

February 12, 2013 

 

Clara Schumann in this sonata for violin and piano, played by Jozsef Joachim: great violinist and collaborator of Johannes Brahms wrote for him the first two quartets and a few steps of Richard Wagner in the last quarter; this is to say the size and estimated that they had all of this wonder. She, Clara, felt and understood the violin is no longer exclusively as a solo instrument, but also as if it were an essential part of compositional fabric with the piano. Both tools here talk as equals.

 

The virtuosity resulting from the two instruments, assuming a resigned tone, dialogue in increasingly dense textures where the concerts of violin and piano is increasingly becoming bases for any concerts for orchestra and piano and / or violin. The same Brahms with the advice of his friend Joachim, took nearly 14 years to go from a piano concerto at the first symphony.

 

Clara, played the piano and his work with violinist Joachim with equal virtuosity. She he experienced a world where even today we are immersed. In these his “3 Romances for Violin and Piano, Op. 122 “pinched violin bow goes hand in hand with the slow tones of the piano, without exceeding, so that the variations increasingly acute, do not become a virtuosity elementary and vain. And she could in this also with Robert A. Schumann, her husband, who she felt and composed musical works.
