Poetry and music

Make and I (Peräkamarijazzduo) practiced some jazz. Standards this time. At the same time we had some thoughts about the concert where we're going to combine poetry and music. Music will be our own but the poems will be written by finish female writers. We'l have a lady to recite the poems. She is pretty good at it. Maybe we'll have some visual effects, too...

We're gonna build some sort of a story with the poems, around them. About human life - its dissapointments, miseries, sadness etc.. But that will be only the starting point. Life is not like that. At the moment it seems that the story will go from misery to consolation, light and all the happiness stuff (Stevie Vai). Past is past. It's already happened. We can't change it much. We pretty much have to accept it. (Forgetting may be good or then not...) About the future we don't know. (Planning is okay but what really will happen may be something else...) What's left? Here and now.

That's the concept of our musical poetry at the moment.
