Five Haiku
per violino e violoncello
2017
It was in the mid-spring 2016 when “Hundred Haikus” joined him, a book with a blue cover. All poems had a structural connection with nature, each one drew a picture and was full of movement and mystery. Hundred concise images representing the complete cycle of seasons… In spring a mysterious spirit was pushing him, whispering constantly “You must betray all locations”
He had to avoid stability , he had to escape continuously and he was obliged to avoid the roots.
Meanwhile Haikus were transformed to sound during long times of observation.
As long as a whole cycle of seasons in which he was writing down the sound rapidly on the paper within a couple of hours each.
When finally he could write on the last page of the score: “Wandering through Rome, Dolomites, Tehran, Vienna, Salzburg, Wolfgangsee and Roman Castles from spring 2016 to January 5th. 2017…
Time passed and from the distance the only interpretation of that denial of the roots seems to be a torturous research of identity.
While the spring rain During the high noon of summer, Enveloped by afternoon sleepiness Wind hisses She, who comes to my dream English translation : Corinna Lenneis |
Nella pioggerella primaverile Mezzodì di piena estate; Nel sopore della siesta, odo Sibila il vento Colei che viene in sogno Italian translation Irene Iarocci (cento Haiku-Guanda) |
