Requiem For A Fallen Tree

Fallen Trees | Erased Tapes | 2018 | Ukranian pianist and composer / While living in Paris, he pioneered a new technique of piano playing, based on extremely rapid and complex note-series. Because of his technique, he is the fastest pianist in the world, sustaining speeds of over 19.5 notes per second in each hand, he also holds the record for most number of notes played in one hour with 93,650 individual notes. This was documented in Sweden, in 1989. (from artist's discogs page) | 0:00:00 (Pop-up) | ||||

Georg Trakl / How To Stop Living In Fear
|
X / Lecture, Saanen, 1978 (excerpt) | Brain | 1978 | Austrian Expressionist poet Georg Trakl attended a Catholic elementary school, while receiving Protestant religious instruction; he was an unsuccessful student and eventually dropped out of school. Later, however, he entered the University of Vienna for training as a pharmacist, a vocation which facilitated his lifelong use of drugs. Soon after leaving the university he was drafted into the Austrian army and assigned to the medical corps. Returning to civilian life, Trakl found a job in a pharmacy, failed to adjust to the routine of working life, and reenlisted in the army. In 1912, while stationed in Innsbruck, he met Ludwig von Ficker, editor of "Der Brenner." Ficker became friend and mentor to Trakl for the remaining years of his short life, publishing the poet’s work regularly in his literary journal. Trakl died of a self-administered, though perhaps accidental, drug overdose in a Polish hospital while recovering from his battle experience during WWI.

| Yo-Yo Ma |
The Legend Of 1900 Theme (by Ennio Morricone)
|
Songs Of Comfort - Live on March 27, 2020 | 2020 | Yo-Yo Ma was born in Paris to Chinese parents and had a musical upbringing. His mother, Marina Lu, was a singer, and his father, Hiao-Tsiun Ma, was a violinist and professor of music. His family moved to NY when he was 5 years old. At a very young age, Ma began studying violin, and later viola, before finding his true calling by taking up the cello at age 4. According to Ma, his 1st choice was the double bass due to its large size, but he compromised and took up cello instead. He began performing before audiences at age 5, and performed for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower when he was 7. At age 8, he appeared on American television with his sister, Yeou-Cheng Ma, in a concert conducted by Leonard Bernstein. By 15 years of age, Ma had graduated from Trinity School in NY. Ma studied at the Juilliard School with Leonard Rose and briefly attended Columbia University before ultimately enrolling at Harvard University. Ma's primary performance instrument is the cello nicknamed Petunia, built by Domenico Montagnana in 1733. It was named this by a female student that approached him after one of his classes in Salt Lake City asking if he had a nickname for his cello. He said, "No, but if I play for you, will you name it?" She chose Petunia, and it stuck. This cello, more than 270 years old, was lost in the fall of 1999 when Ma accidentally left the instrument in a taxicab in NYC. It was later recovered undamaged.

Coffee Please
|
Cabin Lights Off | Arbutus Yarns | 2020 | AKA Dublin-based Myles O'Reilly / about the album from the artist's bandcamp page: "I started with my eyes closed, inspired by long haul flights (RIP). I miss that feeling of tearing through the air, hundreds of miles an hour, thousands of feet above ground, snug behind a few panes of plexiglass, looking out at a sun setting above the clouds, dipping behind this giant space rock, made all the more present with a long and windy drone in my ears. Doesn't really matter how I travel, there's no better soundtrack than minimal ambient for staring out a window into the middle distance, when my mind turns it's focus to the imagination and doesn't want to be distracted. Eyes and ears not focusing on anything in particular but allowing my mind to investigate inwards. Hearing not listening. Seeing not watching. Ultimately, feeling as though I'm flying through the air like that kid in Snowman, and not sitting in a giant gravity defying sardine can." / In the surreal dog days of this unprecedented global pandemic, a new trend cropped up: International airlines began to offer “flights to nowhere,” for customers who missed the anesthetized atmosphere of an airplane cabin enough to pay for the experience alone. | * | 1:56:49 (Pop-up) | |||

| Blancmange |
Living On The Ceiling
|
Happy Families | London | 1982 | debut album from English duo Neil Arthur & Stephen Luscombe / When asked back in 2017 where they came up with the name, the duo said that “we were making experimental music for a while, really just for ourselves, not thinking anyone would want to listen. A name wasn't an issue or even needed until we were asked to play at the art college. The posters for the event were being printed and a name therefore was required to advertise the gig. In a throwaway moment we chose Blancmange, so as to save time and get on with the music. Actually we were called The Blancmange.” | 2:11:23 (Pop-up) | ||||

I've found the Audio Dharma podcasts useful. A paradox of meditation is there's no right or wrong - it's not about judgement. You can always start anywhere. It's about trying to still your thinking - but then you think about that - then you get angry @ yourself & that's just more noise. The thing is letting what happens happen - just observe it! Come back to the center of the flower they say...

Audio Dharma is good with guided meditations as newage as that sounds. I should do it more! Psychedelic Salon has changed my thinking...& Hearty White is more fun than any of them. Subgenius Hour of Slack is good when I'm tired of taking anything seriously...
So obviously my Answer is to Click & Listen to a lot of things. Download some Silence from California Buddhists...

Pitch originally meant thrust, throw, or forcibly fix something into something else. So pitch a ball. Also, pitch a tent by driving stakes in the ground. Then, a cricket field was a pitch because you drove the wickets into the ground. Eventually, in the UK, it was used for a soccer/football field with boundary lines marked.
