Kiran Leonard - Living With Your Ailments by moshi moshi music published on 2017-05-31T12:27:44Z A brand new track from Kiran Leonard who releases his new album 'Derevaun Seraun' on Moshi Moshi Records on 15th September: http://shop.moshimoshimusic.com/DerevaunSeraun Follow him on Spotify for his latest tracks: http://smarturl.it/KiranLeonardSpotify “DEREVAUN SERAUN” is a piece I wrote a couple years back in five movements for voice, piano and string trio. Each movement is written about a different piece of literature, exploring the value I see in each work and the impression it has made on me, and there is nothing more to it than that. The pleasure of books – of good verse and stories and ideas – is a very simple thing, and I felt that some lofty unifying theme for the entire piece would be a betrayal of that belief. I think that when a work resonates with you it is an instinctive response to something. You can be taught to understand a challenging book, but not to feel affection for it; I think a lot of conversation around art, especially around literature, sometimes forgets this. In my experience, the art I like the most, irrespective of its 'difficulty', is the art I can advocate most directly and plainly, and about which I can say: “I read this piece and now I do not read or think in the same way that I did before”, or: “This is a story that I could not explain to someone; I do not understand it word-for-word, yet I feel like innately I understand the whole, and that the whole spoke to me”. This is a piece about five books that I like and why I like them." - Kiran Leonard Comment by User 712312765 Ghost intro :))) i listened at midnight 2019-01-31T17:46:36Z Comment by Chris Pellnat nice composition 2018-05-14T00:03:38Z Comment by ygary great work 2018-04-13T09:36:44Z Comment by Cesium Swimsuit Beautifully expressive, love the modern classic influence and up front mix.
