about

A dark theme keeps me here,
Though summer blazes in the vireo's eye.
Who would be half possessed
By his own nakedness?
Waking's my care --
I'll make a broken music, or I'll die.

Ye littles, lie more close!
Make me, O Lord, a last, a simple thing
Time cannot overwhelm.
Once I transcended time :
A bud broke to a rose,
And I rose from a last diminishing.

I look down the far light
And I behold the dark side of a tree
Far down a billowing plain,
And when I look again,
It's lost upon the night --
Night I embrace, a dear proximity.

I stand by a low fire
Counting the wisps of flame, and I watch how
Light shifts upon the wall.
I bid stillness be still.
I see, in evening air,
How slowly dark comes down on what we do.

Theodore Roethke, "In Evening Air"

________________________________________________________

Recorded in 2016 in Philly in an abandoned pizza shop.

Performed by method of spontaneity and improvisation, Bryant Eugene Vazquez pressed record on his Tascam Portastudio 414 MKII and captured whatever came out.

An experiment in avant garde music, influenced by the greats. Its exploration involves prepared piano, noise, and soundscape genres.

Every song was captured in a single take.
