Asturias (sketch 1)

This sketch started as a real-time performance practice run, capturing it as a QuickTime movie.
I later tweaked it a bit in Final Cut Pro.
I have several recordings of "Asturias" (piano or guitar), but all were done in studios, this one is the only one I have that was recorded in concert (by Christoph Denoth, at Wigmore Hall, on October 15, 2012).
I love it, in it I find the "tension" I enjoy so much when I have the privilege to do a live performance, in many ways very similar to what I experienced when I was racing cars (many lifetimes ago).
Unlike most studio versions, this one has something I have been struggling to retain when I started working with computers (forced to abandon natural media for health reasons): a trace of the human, an organic quality, with juices and dirt and all, so far from this false "clean look" computers tend to impose, and that the digital art pundits and computer plumbers (and most studio recordings) would posit as being the (only) look and feel of "the real."
"My real" isn't like that, it lives in elusiveness, in dilemmas, in moments of clarity soon replaced by doubt, and given my images are the very way by which I become aware of what "I" see (I do not draw what I see, I draw in order to see), they must reflect all those various modes of experience.

"The eye does not work like a camera, and we do not all see the same thing(s)!"

For decades, my aim has been "to cater to the appearing as it appears" (Edmund Husserl).
