SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – LOMITA

This is a new idea I am trying here, to spotlight the SoundCloud pages of artists, many of which only have their SoundCloud pages as their web presence, especially new or under the radar artists and so this is another means to give a bit of a boost  and shine a light on their music.

This week introduces  Lomita

SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT – ANNA MEREDITH

This is a new idea I am trying here, to spotlight the SoundCloud pages of artists, many but not all, only have their SoundCloud pages as their web presence, especially new or under the radar artists and so this is another means to give a bit of a boost  and shine a light on their music.

This week is Anna Meredith

Anna Meredith is a young Scottish composer who writes electronic and acoustic music. She likes to work with orchestras, bands and choreographers to create music that uses clapping, stamping, shouting and beatboxing instead of instruments.

SUNDAY MIX – SOMETHING DIFFERENT

So, I had a think about the Sunday Mixes…and I think to allow them to breathe and get some space, I am going to post one a month, starting with this month and this is a little different as I am highlighting a Poetry website and SoundCloud page from a Modern Pianist –

I have reblogged Lindy Karpestras’ poetry below but via her SoundCloud page I have discovered the ambient artist  Madeleine Cocolas

TODAYS’ DISCOVERY – FRKTL

I posted this on Twitter a little late so I am reposting here.

SUNDAY MIX – THE MOON

 

The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.
Her forehead is of amplest blond;
Her cheek like beryl stone;
Her eye unto the summer dew
The likest I have known.
Her lips of amber never part;
But what must be the smile
Upon her friend she could bestow
Were such her silver will!
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest star!
For certainly her way might pass
Beside your twinkling door.
Her bonnet is the firmament,
The universe her shoe,
The stars the trinkets at her belt,
Her dimities of blue.

Emily Dickinson

 

The stars that round the Queen of Night

Like maids attend her
Hide as in veils of mist their light
When she, in full-orbed glory bright.
O’er all the earth shines from her height,

A silver splendour.

Sappho

A tiny moon as white and small as a single jasmine flower
Leans all alone above my window, on night’s wintry bower,
Liquid as lime-tree blossom, soft as brilliant water or rain
She shines, the one white love of my youth, which all sin cannot stain.

A White Blossom

 

 

The stars around the fair moon fade
Against the night,
When gazing full she fills the glade
And spreads the seas with silvery light.
