# 13 Contamination: the Passacaglia: The present and the past

March 26, 2013

In the curious and friendly gaiety that sometimes appears in walking into unknown territories, immediately after the first breath solitary, here flows the past who accompanies us on the trail. The crowd of possible events and those that occurred, offering a rainbow of emotions, as this Passacaglia from the Suite no. 7 Friedric George Handel arias which provides progressive, with a sequence of repeated notes in a similar manner to the art of fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach. In fact, we already have an idea of ​​where it will go the musical cell that is repeated in slightly different tones.

Listening and contemporary recollection of the previous plea, it vibrates in us with sweetness and nostalgia. The notes open in the run-up of the arches that fall like tears on smiles plucked harp. Any reason not close, because it starts as a step after the other in a staccato rhythm of a trail off in a more indefinite progression towards ourselves. In fact, the harp collects all the segments of the previous sounds.

Like a fountain that collects flows, so as soon as the water jet is finished, it reclines and is preparing to start a cascade of notes collected in the violins, which are ready to throw in the higher tones.

As the harp is ready to receive the new ad, after a brief suspension, so we astonished with wonder, we start the journey that accompanies us with new reflections of what we were.

Contamination # 12: The brotherhood and sisterhood: Sly and Family Stone

March 21, 2013 

 

The sisterhood and brotherhood as: Sly And Family Stone.
La sororité et de fraternité que: Sly Stone et Famille.

Questo gruppo che parte alla fine degli anni sessanta, oggi è considerato come una band musicale soul variopinta. Eppure tanti gruppi, a loro si sono ispirati. Loro hanno aperto una porta, dove, ancora oggi, i musicisti attingono. La fratellanza e la sorellanza. Freddy, il fratello di Sly, suonava la chitarra. Larry Graham suonava il basso. Cinthya Robinson e Jerry Martini suonavano rispettivamente la tromba e il sassofono. Un bianco e una nera che suonavano assieme sopra il palco. E Greeg Enrico alla batteria: un ispanico. Questo gruppo suonava come se fossero un’unica persona. Il gruppo non attraversava i confini razziali: li cancellava. LE DONNE SUONAVANO STRUMENTI. GLI UOMINI CANTAVANO E LO SHOW ERA MANDATO AVANTI DA UN NERO. In Europa, ancora oggi noi tutti ci dobbiamo arrivare. Ed ecco a voi “Stand” che parla del colore della pelle, dell’odio e dell’amore. Signori questo è il nostro futuro.

This group, which starts at the end of the sixties, is now regarded as a band colorful soul. Yet many groups, they were inspired. They have opened a door, where, even today, the musicians draw. Freddy’s brother Sly, played the guitar. Larry Graham played bass. Cinthya Robinson and Jerry Martini respectively played the trumpet and saxophone. A white and a black playing together on the stage. And Greeg Henry on drums: a Hispanic. This group sounded as if they were one person. The group crossed racial boundaries: they erased. WOMEN played instruments. SUNG MEN AND THE SHOW WAS SENT NEXT TO A BLACK. In Europe, we all still have to go. And here “Stand” that talks about the color of their skin, hatred and love. Gentlemen, this is our future.

Ce groupe, qui commence à la fin des années soixante, est aujourd’hui considérée comme une âme bande colorée. Pourtant, de nombreux groupes, ils se sont inspirés. Ils ont ouvert une porte, où, aujourd’hui encore, les musiciens dessiner. Frère Freddy Sly, jouait de la guitare. Larry Graham joue de la basse. Cinthya Robinson et Jerry Martini respectivement joué de la trompette et le saxophone. Un blanc et un noir à jouer ensemble sur scène. Et Greeg Henry à la batterie: un hispanique. Ce groupe sonne comme si elles étaient une seule personne. Le groupe a traversé les frontières raciales: elles effacées. Les femmes ont joué des instruments. Sung Men et le spectacle était ENVOYÉ à côté d’un noir. En Europe, nous avons tous encore à parcourir. Et ici, “Stand” qui parle de la couleur de leur peau, de la haine et de l’amour. Messieurs, ceci est notre avenir.

@ 8 poetically: the friend who is rediscovered

March 19, 2013 

What a surprise !

Hello,
here I am with a friend.
He is a person at all familiar and so often at home that seems to be transparent and predictable. Every now and then the events of the world draw near to the rooms where we live, the place that is considered natural and isolated from others. For those efforts are used to understand the secret, the result is always to see him in a calm and warm smile. He is sympathetic to observant of all religions. The atheist occasionally calls him for some walks in the paths of introspection. The agnostic welcomes him every time during the stops pleasant or forced at any time of the cycle of the Sun

In addition, he is able to grant nearly irreconcilable views and customs. Perhaps the secret lies in a universal prayer which does not purport answers, and that it leaves everyone free to locate them as they see fit.

Yes it is!

Prayer is common to the laity and to the believers, ancient and modern; even to those who worship the case and technique. Even before Zeus and religions “animistic”, there are prayers that stifle the applicant, while others bind, some of the sublime. Yet it seems that our friend does not keep his hands clenched. Our friend is convinced that the answer is already in the prayer of each one.

Each element is already involved in his appeal: the water, the sun, passing through the Earth.

@ 7 poetically: Teresa Mattei: the fire that lives

A Teresa Mattei: the fire that lives – Lino Milita

I’m back, excited to see me again.
The laces laughs the actor arrived
who faces deposited over time.
The guest speaker, but the other is silent.

The departure is near and the mask
desperate to embrace the old link,
but the answer is to that past.
The pain changes the irony in resentment.

The trip builds memories dying
that will reshape to the new meeting
and new tears reopen old wounds.

The harsh openings make it malleable.
The force increases, as it fades.
The fire inside the touch and she is reborn.

Teresa Mattei, said Teresita (Genoa, 1 February 1921 – Lari, March 12, 2013) was an Italian partisan and political.
She was in training fighter Garibaldi “Youth Front” (with the rank of Company Commander). She was the youngest elected to the Constituent Assembly, where she assumed the post of secretary in the Bureau of the Constituent Assembly. She was also “Executive National Union of Italian Women” and she was the inventor of the use of mimosa for “Women’s Day” the eight of March. The idea came to her when she learned that Luigi Longo intended to give to the women for that day of violets; Mattei intervened suggesting a flower poorer and more common in the countryside.

Shadow lines – Lino Milita 

The meeting of shadow lines
avoided for fear,
I undergo cyclical sunrises and sunsets,
and of missed appointments
I have been made and lived.

From the appointment of the last frontier
my anguish,
I leave the last fear and trembling
to say yes to fear
become unpredictable life.
I say yes to this universe.
