Bob Rocket, a.k.a. Ermanno Capirone, began his cosmic tour in Turin (Italy), in 2019.

Since he began composing, he has always liked the idea of discovering which kind of music could exist out there in the cosmic vastness, and with this project he decided to find an answer, creating audio environments that make listeners dive infinitely deep inside and infinitely far in space and time.

His dream is to surpass the limits of a mere genre, allowing the listeners to entwine their own experience with the musical flow and their introspective explorations. http://bobrocket.eu/


NORBERT OLDANI (USA)

A Storm at Sea

 

#dylanday

" A Storm at Sea " is my music composition, a Shepard tone setting, for this photo found at www.michiganshipwrecks.org/shipwrecks-2 It is an audio illusion that creates a feeling of consistent never end-ending rising and falling. It is made
from 2 sets of overlapping notes that are one octave apart. One set fading in and the other fading out so that the beginning or end of the 2 sets of notes is indistinguishable. The setting with an introduction is via Motif and ReasonRecord; also the 2 sets of tones were formed from a strict non- tonal 12 tone row.

 

Norbert Oldani (USA) is a retired math teacher and a composer. Born in Detroit , Michigan, USA and presently living in Utica, New York.

He still improvises on the piano despite his  85 years of age and still composes electronic music but no longer gives public lectures about it.

Un poco de mar y algo de brisa

 
"Un poco de mar y algo de brisa
 
Me preguntó el Amanecer qué quería
Un poco de mar y algo de brisa contesté
Extrañado miró mientras decía: 
Un poco de mar y algo de brisa no puede ser
 
Qué tiene mi sueño, Amanecer
Para que lo que pida no pueda ser
 
Tremendo deseo el tuyo
La costa está lejos, aquí solo hay flores …no quieres?
A las flores yo acudo, 
Pero al mar y la brisa puede ver …y no olvido 
 
En dónde lo has podido ver?:
En un solo cuerpo fundido.
Será entonces tuyo mi dueño.
Me confesaba el Amanecer
 
Al alba sentí que mi Amanecer
Me daba lo que pedía
Y el dia pasé viviendo ese sueño
En donde te vi bailar
 
Con un poco de mar y algo de brisa
Con un poco de mar y algo de brisa
Con un poco de mar y algo de brisa
Con un poco de mar y algo de brisa
 
Vuelve hacia el horizonte
Sigue soñando
Hazme de nuevo un niño
Entre tus labios
.

#dylanday

Created for International Dylan Thomas Day 2022 based on the theme of water and my own feelings and experiences of Laugharne, with a few lines from Dylan himself. In verse 2 from Sun Burns the Morning and in Verse 4 Through these Lashed Rings. There is another verse of my own, which I have omitted for the purposes of this video, which is recorded straight to the mobile phone in our home in Fishguard.

Photographs of Laugharne are my own.
