From Sleepless Nights by Daniel Felsenfeld for music email •••@••• poem by Elizabeth Hardwick cellist/soprano(mezzo) Malina Rauschenfels (http•••) It is June. This is what I have decided to do with my life just now. I will do this work of transformed and even distorted memory and lead this life, the one that I am leading today. The winter came upon us. The suicide season arrived early. The land after a snowfall would turn into a lunar stillness - satanic, brilliant. The tall trees altered by the snow and ice loomed up in the arctic landscape like ancient cataclysmic formations of malicious splendour. The little houses on the road with their stoves and furnaces blowing heat. Their lamps glowing, trembling there in the whiteness, might be settlements waiting for a doom that would come over them silently in the night.
Performed by flutist Sarah Carrier and pianist Andrea Christie of Parhelion Trio. From a Parhelion Trio performance at The Firehouse Space in Brooklyn September 13th, 2013. Please excuse the sound quality! Some notes on this piece by the composer: "I am and always will be obsessed with Joe Frank, the Los-Angeles-based master of Radio Noir. I cannot tell you the countless hours he's accompanied me, sitting beside me on long road trips, on the subway with me, walking beside me on several continents. His radio programs are Dostoyevsky and Gabriel Garcia Marquez doing stand-up in Los Angeles and spewing truth along with the bits—and this is an oversimplification. O I LIKE the LIFE that I'm LEADING, for flute and piano, is based on a moment in Frank's The Road to Hell, where, over a modest samba-like beat, Mr. Frank intones the words "Oh I like the life that I'm leading" well over a dozen times—as is the case with so much of his work, this is both hysterically funny and devastating. And this is what I wanted to capture in this piece—something that flirts with mania, hysteria, has a kind of brashness (especially at the end) but also aims at the Joe-Frank-like ideal of surface freneticism that belies the loneliness beneath." / Daniel Felsenfeld
