II:NOCTURNE

The latest incarnation of illustrative and musical works by Claudio. A nocturne (A French word meaning nocturnal, from the Latin nocturnus) is usually a classical musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night.

Nocturnes have sometimes imitated the sounds of nature (such as Béla Bartók's ‘Out of Doors’ 1926) which contains "eerie, blurred cluster-chords and imitations of the twittering of birds and croaking of nocturnal creatures, with lonely melodies in contrasting sections.”

Claudio has created three creatures evocative of the evening - the Wolf, the Owl and the Whitetail Stag…

How to translate the feeling into sound | Claudio | TEDxPerth

And just like that, I fell in love with a tree

I find that if I go into the studio with a feeling/intention like "What can I learn/discover?" as opposed to "I have to make something good" that the game is transformed from the outset. I think that that approach demonstrates the very real purpose & potential of Humility. Did you ever think of Humility as having a purpose?

“I have this odd persistent tendency towards extended periods of solitude.. I'm always doing this thing that I do, regardless of who's watching. That element of my nature is perhaps accentuated by the fact that at some point, experience mirrored instinct and it was confirmed emphatically & a hundred times over that Music wasn't worth s*$% to me if it didn't feel “true”. I genuinely let go of any need to be understood, heard or rewarded (with applause, money, free waffles, robot escorts, whatever...) That's when the heaviness lifted. And as if delighted by the sheer paradox of it all, that was exactly the moment that people started caring."
