I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
trav'ling through this world of woe.
there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In That bright world to which i go.
I'm going there to meet my father
I'm going there no more to roam;
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home.I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my pathway's rough and steep;
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes Shall weep no more.
I'm going there to see my mother
She said meet me when I as she'd
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home.

Terricciola - White Night
Just returned from a strange night. 'Tis some time that I try to aggregate people unconsciously, to experience the alchemy of sound, winding path, planning' minimum high improvisation. I look for the similarities and differences, this evening the mood was grim, there was something nasty in me, projected from the outside. I hate some things, some looks, words, and unnecessarily violent. Too bad this thing has spotted a potential evening and some really good points, thanks to violate Cuban Reuben, shocking the harmonic and rhythmic groove that gave off that violin, I had never heard a drive so 'strong, that violin and play with' was a great experience, maybe another piece of the group I would like, but there 'dislike this taste, this feeling uncomfortable. I sweeten listening to this amazing and incredibly dense arrangement of Clare Fischer, arcs that can give joy, warmth, depth, 'brass that can give coolness and edginess', woods that creep into the folds prepared by brass, percussion mats, expanses of wilderness piano, and 'also that the music inside me.

"Now in the ocean depths with no body, but rather 'with my mind I try to touch the bottom"
Nasos Vaghenás Dance Dark
In these days of hectic work, the only moment of calm that I devote myself completely are those two-hour train ride that I decided to dedicate some time to carefully listen to a disc or as background to a thoughtful stupor that sometimes I axle on the journey. The Sunday Ipod load discs that will accompany me during the week and then according to the mood of the day, if I choose a number between days. Yesterday I came across something really nice, deep trouble with which I can detach the disk Epiphany by Vince Mendoza. If there is a wonder in nature, and 'the sound of the strings when and' orchestrated well, when the notes slide across a smooth continuity 'imperceptible, can not you feel it move quickly, even in dissonance. Here Mendoza and 'a great arranger, one of the most' great contemporaries, quell'impromptu disk after 10 seconds you hear so many smells, it is projected into the past, Schoenberg, Wagner's Tristan and Isolde and then hints of jazz suddenly opened the soundscape where you did not think he could get. And heard the plane Discrete John Taylor notes that Shakes the wise is not clear where and 'the border, and then the drums Peter Erskine in that marvel of composition and' Esperanza. And there are no words for the sound of the London Symphony Orchestra, here I forget, I astraggo, I immerse myself completely in these soundscapes and in this heat that only the sound of real wood bows can create.

And 'in the white part of the spectrum where there's no written anything that you find the true meaning. The touches of red, green does not make sense where there's no draw at all, all is revealed .. the flower of the moon, and also a magnificent residence.

In the woods where he still night
at dawn
the melody.
(That said Zen) Â
Uri Caine never ceases to amaze me, having the courage to revisit some of the pages more 'beautiful classical music, always with taste, imagination, modernity' and use the incredible tonal palettes. The Adagietto of Mahler's Symphony n5, and 'I think one of the pages more' famous Mahler, only for strings and harp, there are hundreds of interpretations, dilatatissime or more 'fast, Uri Caine reads this page with a new light, the Theme exposed dilatatato flow leaving the beauty of the theme, suspension, breaks, notes just mentioned and then letting the breath of the wood of the violin and the bass and the sheen of a trumpet. Coming to a growing middle intense and exciting to return to the piano sound that is lost in the final in a magma percussive sound, while still leaving room for sampling tastefully placed discreetly by a DJ who is part of the Mahler Project. The visionary imagination of Caine, and 'really all in these notes recorded live in Tolbach.
