Leaving Together, Leaving Apart, 4, 11 - 17 - 18 by Wilhelm Matthies published on 2022-01-01T15:30:40Z “Leaving together, Leaving apart” is one of 6 pieces I recorded using my 8th mosesa In November 2018. I have since made several other models,, but recently rediscovered this album in my files. It anticipates many things that I am doing currently, namely playing and responding to overtones and instrument body resonances. Tuning is by ear as well as all playing. I tuned the instrument to resonate with my wishes when playing. The mosesa 8 is composed to 2 guitar strings, a cello bridge resting on a thin, patched and pressed wooden bowl. I used a DPA microphone, external guitar pedals and internal Logic Pro filters to create the sound that you hear. The emotional background for these pieces, “Leaving together, Leaving apart” was the coming and goings between myself and one of my children of college age. I felt so much joy at being together, then sorrow with leaving. The music is not illustrative, and I think focuses mostly on the joy of relating each moment with another. Happy New Year and enjoy!

The playing is so personal and points to a deep connection with the workings of the instrument.. it acts as a sounding board for yr feelings. The pace is relaxed which gives weight to each note and phrase and allows an intiuative response. Finally the timbre is amazing here. this adds to the emotion i think, its lyrical and organic 2022-01-01T23:33:54Z Comment by Tuonela Good to hear the mosesa again! This pice comes at the listener like a series of apparently random thoughts in a meditative state. But nothing is truly random :) 2022-01-01T23:17:39Z Comment by Wendy Kheiry You really do capture that inner feeling of when they come and go. Beautiful, poignant, and true. 2022-01-01T22:53:44Z Comment by Dararat Chemnasiri nice 2022-01-01T19:27:44Z Comment by Marco Lucchi mosesa is singing again :) 2022-01-01T17:55:48Z Comment by henry koek a joy to hear your mosesa opening its world of sounds depth and as so the world of communication between player and what is being played , the effect of synergy 1+1 makes 3 , a enjoyed your opening of this soundworld 2022-01-01T17:45:37Z
