It
is the beginning of 2011. The inspiration for these kind of recordings
are constantly with me. Every performance is started with this kind
of "breaking-the-day" atmosphere. What I did in September
2010 was to record, in one go, in a house near Hermanus, almost an hour
of such music. It involves me with cello and voice, with the keyboard
next to me which i can let sound drones, holding down the sustain pedal
with one foot. On my other side, the mixer which provided me with some
echo effects (as in "unfoldering" and "seedlings").
There was an audience of one present, a dear friend who made the space available and provided the right kind of ears to help my wind along. I listen to it, hear things and a track or two that i like less (OK, to be precise, i like "unfoldering" least!), but of course decided to let the full moment speak for itself. Your ears are different from mine and your favourites might be different from mine. I don't know what you will use this album for. Perhaps it cannot so much be used, as it might transport you away from the world of use and achievement. A moment to honour beginnings - to make sure your feet is planted in real soil, your tree is shooting its roots and your day is broken into its heart. To a solid start! |
