SPNet052 - Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt & Consistency Nature - Space Between Aquarius

   
SPNet052 - Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt & Consistency Nature - Space Between Aquarius
http://www.sprecordings.com/
128kbps - 29 minutes, 48 seconds
File under: Noise/Neo-Classical/Soundscape

01 - Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt - Spadaj! (1
0:31)
02 - Consistency Nature - No, More Sushumna Nadi (7:54)
03 - Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt - TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN (Above Average) (5:00)
04 - Consistency Nature - Glossolalia (6:23)

The second entry in the Space Between Trilogy (the first, Space Between Scorpions, was released through Microbit Records), this split release between experimental guitarist and soundscaper Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt and the downright experimental Consistency Nature is full of shimmering, gossamer compositions. Although the tracks lack any real structure, their brittle, yet rich textures hang their beautifully like art in a gallery, let loose from the confines of its frame. Ghostly hints of melody play in each piece, stringing the album together, but never achieve corporeal form. Mesopotamians believed the constellation Aquarius was the representation of Enki, later Ea, the lord of water, who was often depicted holding an overflowing vase. This is a fitting inspiration for this album full of songs that flow over one's conscious, drowning out the unnecessary and clearing the way for their beauty to flourish.

MUSEO DEL TENDAL/ La TERTULIA DE MARÍA el 21 de Setiembre 2012.


El viernes 21 de setiembre, se llevó a cabo la tertulia en Los Tendales, ubicado en la calle Mitre 355 esq. Magariños Cervantes, de la ciudad de Sta. Lucía, Canelones.
La concurrencia fue escasa a raíz de la amenaza de tapar el puente por las intensas lluvias y el viento huracanado del temporal anunciado.
Aún asi, participaron de la misma: Ruben Baudino, con temas instrumentales en guitarra, temas clásicos del folklore uruguayo, y Marcos Mateauda, con temas instrumentales de la misma orientación.
Entre uno y otro, en forma alternada, la anfitriona leyó sus textos, de orígen reflexivos y alguno biográfico.
En determinado momento, se armó una ronda de canciones que todos compartimos, tanto los guitarreros como los espectadores, que llegaron a "pedir" algún tema específico, como si de una peña familiar se tratara.
Se compartió un pan casero, mayonesas con gustos y un jugo de naranja.
El registro gráfico estuvo a cargo de Paula Fagián, nieta de la anfitriona.
La experiencia, pobre de público, fue muy rica en contenido.

"Beyond the limit" by Jan Theuninck

acrylic on canvas, 2001



Beyond the limit
tempting is
the border area
hanging around
in the gray zone
watching the game
of back and forth
seeing how vanity
and power
push them
far
beyond the limit
