Music for Piano and Modular Synthesizer is a suite of compositions utilizing piano, modular synthesizer, piccolo trumpet, launeddas and various other sound devices in order to express certain emotions clear and bright. Resonant Stacks of Energy in shattered Time sent through a specific modular synth patch, emitting sound… corresponding to my own innate qualities of hearing, seeing and feeling. A kind of time Travel Device towards a more Utopian future. I approach the piano and composition in general as a composer of intervals and resonant energy. These 6 compositions live now in direct attendance to your own unique individualism. Use this energy at your will towards your own utopian futures.
This sound is dedicated to the memory and celebration of the souls of lost life poets: Basilio Sulis, Enzo Carpentieri, Lucio Briganti and Vassilios Filippakapoulos.
The ball is tossed into the scrum
Kicked backwards and forwards
All at once
Ringing…
Blasted on itself
Roiling dirt and sun
Quickened by heaving nets of grade A… sung
Sidled… bent
Slammed definitively
Lock stock and barrel
Shared temptation
To toil in mid days clock
Tipped eyebrows
Sunken groves of rotting fruit
Swallowing its own pitted grin
Refined elements
Stretching tons of felted clouds
Resistant to quickened pace
Hovering... Distilled… Blinding…
and into the scrum again
finding its own perpetual grace
Sifting between the letters
Ripening and expanding towards new undigested planets
Intervals in monster steps
Quietly recollecting its own resonant song
Recycled buckets of used tone
Shaking out
Into distinct puddles of reverberation
Mincing sand tomes
Into menacing skyscrapers
Reaching far…
The souls of lost life poets
High above
This pulsing heat

The least amount of horn work for Mr. Mazurek than I’ve ever heard. Even so, Rob is found really taking things to other places with another amazing cast of players. Amazing, as always! Lord Dubious
