Recorded


October 15, 2018
Sonata in C minor - Pietro Locatelli - Philharmonia Virtuosi [from Musical Evenings With The Captain]

ornamentation is a supplemental pointer
as is repetition
and scale degree
function

it points

but what is it that points
and ought we to
blindly
and boldly

follow?

Moving On Without Us - Wes Weddell [from My Northwest Home]

told in stanzas
featuring a monolineal refrain

Rat Hotel - Charming Snakes [from The Funhouse Comp Thing]

hot wheels stunt track driver
the familiar push button thrill
the inevitable frustration of which
forces the ear into the tight packed mosh of feedback
for anything to bind it

Songbirds and Stillness - S. Eric Scribner - Ivan Arteaga, Neal Kosály-Meyer [from Stormsound Cycle, May 2011, private recording]

sound floating free of intent, barely anchored to seafloor

kelpish in swaying slumber

gravissimo

October 16 and 18, 2018
Finnegans Wake Part 2, Chapter 1 - James Joyce - Robert Amos [from Waywords and Meansigns]

advertisement
very plain
intro blurb at length

the rhythm of one strand of punnish
the wordless either

did these ways wend
they and the world is made free

plain speaking reading or telling

word by word

to the left leans a guitar whose not recently tuned strings being open and exposed are variously reverberated by the word by word formants and resonunciations of the speaker's head

to make a long story badder
apocryphal of rhyme
ear relevance

tongues' promiscuities

curtains

Figure Study 181015 - Keith Eisenbrey


Neal, being deep in rehearsal for Chapters 4 and 5 of FW, couldn't make it to do the Gradus, so I kept the piano company.

Mossyrock, Lewis County - Wes Weddell [from My Northwest Home]

guitar plucking tenor minstrel
a collective memorial

Kilvert's Hills - Krassimir Ivanov [from Open Space 21]

contrabassoon, I think

turns melody's ear here
there

all been there
never wasn't

a cozy room in the woods

Nature Lives in Motion Part 2 - S. Eric Scribner [from Storm Sound Cycle, Chapel Performance Space, Good Shepherd Center, Seattle, May 2011]

I drew a picture and wrote a poem

August 28, 2018
Finnegans Wake Chapter 7 - James Joyce - Mike Watt & Adam Harvey [from Waywords and Meansigns]

guitar thrum color of page
figures texture of tale
slipping off character intrusion of voice
goes under (done)

August 29, 2018
Hallelujah, Amen from Judas Maccabeus - Handel - Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Richard Condi, cond. [from Handel's Greatest Hits]

It isn't that he had a tin ear for English, it's just that he didn't care. Settled for blocks of affect.

Requiem - Mozart - The English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner, The Monteverdi Choir,
Barbara Bonney, Anne Sofie von Otter, Hans Peter Blochwitz, Willard White

accretes and presses down
to rise while falling
all the while a collective endeavor
any given passage traverses solid spans
we never get to where we were
no span remains
or survives a passage

Aaron, chanter
Neal, phone
Karen, autoharp
Keith, ukulele

also sharing a few little bells and a dried leaf

University Bridge 180831 - Keith Eisenbrey

cars on grated bridge deck go by
