Tendrement

Here we are at the end of 2020, a year that has been, still is, very hard on a lot of people.
For too many, it is “more of the same" (war, poverty, injustice, racism, hunger, disease, etc.), and for the less unfortunate, it is above all the year of the COVID-19.
For the artists for whom the work is not about performance, or not much, this isolation is just about normal, even desired, and often necessary, but for those who (righty) need a connection with a live public to feel the worth of their practice, what an awful year this has been!
There are so many people I would love to give a big hug to, some I know personally, some barely, some not at all, but who are obviously and understandably going through difficult times, and who could possibly benefit from a bit of tenderness, a sign telling them they are not, you are not, alone.

I do not have the billions of dollars some people have, I therefore cannot distribute material help the way they could, and should, but I do have a lot of feelings for the pain of others, and in some real ways, most of my work is like a hand held out for/to others, again, saying "you are not alone.”

Here’s a new piece, a “sketch" again (meaning I do not have the rights to the music), music composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau and performed beautifully, lovingly, tenderly, by Natacha Kudritskaya.
This music is part of her beautiful record “Rameau” (https://festival1001notes.com/collection/projet/rameau), it is the second time I do a "sketch” with/to/for/from her music, and each time, it has been a heartwarming journey (first one is here, music from the same record: https://vimeo.com/256133446).

This new sketch is titled “Tendrement” (French for “Tenderly”, “Teneramente” in Italian), Natacha’s playing really touches me, I have other pieces on the go, but this one would not let me attend to them until it was “done”.
