musical xmas gift
Originally uploaded by raveliteSo, I'm back. I finally uploaded the long photo of my parents' proudest xmas present to me.

Other stuff that's going on:

1. started going to physical therapy every morning. Jordi and I bend my finger a bit more each day. In the mean time I cover myself in wax and beam square waves at it in hopes that good vibes are synonymous with odd harmonics (1Mhz, 2:9 duty cycle).

2. football with proper shoes is nice... I don't slip as much on the turf and seem to have more control of the pelota

3. livecoding gig this weekend!??? kind of sudden

4. in the name of freesound and hellagems, I jumped in the winter sea and fished for sounds

4. joined a local chamber choir, we are doing some Catalan songs by Toldrà and Blancafort as well as epitaphs from Don Quijote by Halffter (performance of the piece from a group in Brasil):

from ediciones bilingues:
DEL TIQUITOC,
ACADÉMICO DE ARGAMASILLA,
EN LA SEPULTURA DE DULCINEA DEL TOBOSO
Epitafio
Reposa aquí Dulcinea;
y, aunque de carnes rolliza,
la volvió en polvo y ceniza
la muerte espantable y fea.
Fue de castiza ralea,
y tuvo asomos de dama;
del gran Quijote fue llama,
y fue gloria de su aldea. TIQUITOC,
ACADEMICIAN OF ARGAMASILLA,
ON THE TOMB OF DULCINEA DEL TOBOSO
EPITAPH
Here Dulcinea lies.
Plump was she and robust:
Now she is ashes and dust:
The end of all flesh that dies.
A lady of high degree,
With the port of a lofty dame,
And the great Don Quixote's flame,
And the pride of her village was she.

Life is exciting (purposefully trying to keep myself busy and engaged) and I'm remembering little details about my life that I forgot in the warm dream of GA. But it reminded me of exactly what I missed and was giving up to be here. Thanks for spending time and doing things with me, it was better than I hoped for and will remember it always. The life I'm building here shall be imagined too of rhapsodies and echoes of those times that we forged in that once lonely city.

Peace.
