A flower bloomed, a flower it was terribly afraid of the wind. A flower no one has ever seen before was blooming. A flower bloomed. There is no flower, just when I thought it could not be there and then there was no flower. A flower no one has ever seen before that could not be seen, afraid of the wind, a flower bloomed, a flower, it was terribly afraid of the wind, a flower no one has ever seen before was blooming. A flower bloomed. There is no flower. Trembling in the wind, shaken in the wind. The wind blows, it carries flowers and rumors from the sound of the wind, a while ago. More with the sound of the wind, the wind of sound, the sound by a storm. Yet, and yet the flower chooses darkness, loves darkness, and also cries. It cries in darkness. Oh flower look at the moon not at the stars. Force back the wave of darkness. Trembling in the wind. The wind blows, it carries flowers and rumors from the sound of the wind, a while ago. Wind, the wind of sound, the sound by a storm. Yet, and yet the flower chooses darkness, loves darkness and also cries. It cries in darkness. Oh flower, look at the moon, not at the stars. Force back the wave of darkness. Trembling in the wind, shaken in the wind. The wind. It carries flowers and rumors from the sound of the wind a while ago. Light, light for the flower. Light! Light for the flower! The flower answered: "I don't need light, please give me water". Light, light for the flower. Light! Light for the flower! The flower answered: "I don't need light, please give me water".

This is exciting, I have a sneak peek for you the top five color trends for 2020. American spirit is a clean and tranquil color, it can really bring some calm into your workspace. If the office is a shared space, vanilla chai is a great compromising color. Fair isle can complement any furniture style material or fabric. Have a lot of art and photos on your walls? Then try silk and satin. If your office doubles as a guest room, try celebrate the moment, a color that brightens the room and makes the bedroom feel nice and cozy. Citron lives up the 2020 trend of wanting to feel better with the choices we make. This color is just warm and cheery. In 2020, a neutral color like white opal brightens up the room without feeling bland and sterile. Moments notice offers botanical hues with a mix of gray and blue. It's a color you've got to try. And finally, four vines is a great compromising color when trying to decide between blue green and gray.

New York today watch out for some rumbles of thunder that's going to be a possibility of high temperature around 80 degrees, so at least it'll be on the warm side looking ahead to the weekend, as we always do, looks pretty nice in fact you should be mostly dry, we'll see a couple clouds in there but otherwise highs in the upper 70s both Saturday and Sunday looking beautiful for those outdoor plans.

about

On his third solo recording for Cantaloupe Music, Florent Ghys radically retools his approach with Ritournelles & Mosaïques — a wide-ranging two-part opus that pulls back the curtain on an intrepid composer, double bassist and electronics bricoleur in full sonic exploration mode. Ghys began work on the project in late 2019, but like the rest of the world, he soon found himself in the midst of a prolonged isolation period, which inspired him to expand his creative palette. On his previous album Télévision, Ghys had begun with an audio-visual idea; this time, he started at the root: with the sound.

“I just wanted to make something that sounded great,” he says, “so I spent a lot of time studying the sound of my bass — analyzing it, making sample libraries, recording it — and then studying the different microphones, different rooms, different basses too. So it really started from the sound, and then adapting my audio-visual ideas to that.”

Ritournelles (available on CD) is essentially the electro-acoustic, ambient instrumental portion of the program, while Mosaïques (available digitally) is more sample-based and electronic, seething with textural complexity. “Despite the differences though,” Ghys explains, “they really come from the same initial artistic impulse.”

Cantaloupe will release a limited edition vinyl compilation of selected tracks from Ritournelles & Mosaïques in late 2022.
