e ci furono mille cose che non scelsi
che mi arrivarono all’improvviso
e mi cambiarono la vita
cose belle e brutte che non cercavo
sentieri in cui mi smarrii
una vita che non mi aspettavo
e scelsi
almeno
come viverla 👇

A choice made by Robbie Robertson who was a huge Scelsi fan.
Giacinto Scelsi was born on this day in 1905. His Quattro pezzi su una nota sola is probably the best known of his works as a result of its inclusion in the soundtrack of Scorsese's Shutter Island.

Today's modern masterpiece is Giacinto Scelsi's (1905 -1988) "Anahit" (1965). It's for violin and 18 instruments - A lyric poem to Venus. Scelsi was a master of atmosphere.

Ho dato l'addio al fu Twitter.
Lascio il post che avevo fissato secoli fa nel mio account.
Mai avrei pensato che nel 2025 sarebbe stato di grande attualità quando lo scelsi a suo tempo.
Che amarezza.

I can't get enough of this masterpiece. It modern. Very. Written in 1966. It's titled: "UAXUCTUM: Legend of the Mayan city that destroyed itself for religious reasons"

Avevo una bella fotina per il fursday ma avrei perso la metà dei contatti. Nella vita bisogna scegliere, se l' amore o l' arte. E io scelsi: l' arte.

Lessi "I fratelli Karamazov" a 14 anni: fu l’inizio della mia passione per la letteratura russa. Dopo il liceo scelsi la slavistica per capire la lingua e la cultura da cui erano nate le opere che mi avevano formata. I libri ti cambiano la vita, spesso in modo silenzioso ma decisivo.

I adore this music. Its modern. As Stravinsky cast off the mantle of Wagner, so too, did Scelsi shed that of Stravinsky. Give this piece 25' and you'll be richly rewarded.

Only two more days before I travel to Frankfurt to work on my new piece with Ensemble Modern. It builds on methods employed by Giancinto Scelsi, involving tape, an antique synth and modular. All meshed together with modern digital effects, one of which I teamed up with @brambosofficial.bsky.social
