…”putoan, kohoan,
palan ja hukun --
lintuja veden yllä,
luomilla sarastus. --
viileä sointuva,
hopea virtaa sääriä,
käsiä pitkin. --
otsasi, järvi:
mietteitä, tyyni.
hypähtää taimen.
valoja veden pinnassa,
sieluja purjehtii. --
minkä näin ja sanoin
aurinko, valkeus pyyhkii.”
(octavio paz: päivä udaipurissa)

my dear friend
that first part of the three music pieces
(that cello!)
brought tears into my eyes
so beautiful
and him telling a story
that ever since 1912 it is playing
continue

all together

Thank you so so much for introducing me to Gavin Bryars. What an artistic force. I will be going back to view all of the videos and see more of his work.
At the beginning of the first video I was touched to see the cymbal (is that the name?) being lowered into water as it was being played. It really touched me.
This post is wonderful to read and think about. Love continues to grow...

Dear Ritva,
thank you very much for introducing Gavin Bryars. His music and philosophy is not facile... but its really profound. Like underwater life.

His music acts in the unconscious.

Your wallpaper of photos of your father with baton... just like a colourful ocean.
The reflection of the CD like on a surface of water.

Wow, on different levels a great post,
thank you!

Love,
Ariane.

renilde kirjoitti...

dear Ritva, on this grey and rainy morning i took time to watch all three videos and was very moved and enchanted by Gavin Bryars music as well as by his commenting and telling. Then i went back to your'wallpaper' and it all together felt really good and wonderful,an image of colour and sound that will stay with me the rest of the day and probably longer, thanks.

the credit should go to my friend vimma, who some time ago introduced me to this magnificent music!


vimma,
kiitos!taas napakymppi :)

octavioa ilman ei voi olla. onko suuri lasi tuttu sulle? analyysi duchampin tuotannosta? omani on lähes puhkikulunut :)

lämpimiä tuulia!
