origami by Marco Lucchi

for a couple of years that toy harp I had bought from Schoenhut has been abandoned and forgotten .. but now it seems its time has come .. pentatonic tuning, contact microphones and .. let's go .. small daily sonic meditations .. origami ..

the poems of Emily Dickinson - "a Dickinson a day" - came along and ruled ..
some friends and collaborators - hugs and everlasting gratitude to them - gathered

***
a volte si prendono cose che ti sembra di desiderare molto .. le adoperi subito e poi magari smetti presto di usarle .. a volte invece succede esattamente il contrario, e cioè che stiano lì per del tempo e non sai che fartene .. magari il loro tempo viene più tardi .. a me è successo così con un'arpetta della Schoenhut .. per un paio di anni è rimasta lì, abbandonata e praticamente dimenticata .. ma da qualche mese a questa parte sembra giunto il suo momento .. accordatura pentatonica, microfoni a contatto e via .. piccole meditazioni quotidiane, giochi sonori .. origami

Emily Dickinson come guida ..
gli amici fanno compagnia ..
