Remnants

By Olga Oseth
I found this awesome collaboration on you tube. Remnants. This is not a well known project. IThe people that are in this collaboration are  music/composer Original Musical Scores (from Russia) Danil Malinov,Малинов Данил http://tiny.cc/5en7t
Original Film Production & HD Editing (from Italy) Eduardo Casalini http://tiny.cc/xuu4teqaby
Original Poem & Voice Recital (from U.S.A.) Jo Salmoretti http://tiny.cc/9tcni. This piece is beautiful I think the voice accompanies the softness of music.  The music is repetitive but I think it goes well with telling a story about nature and lost story. It is kind of different to hear music with spoken words instead of a song. But I think it is kind of cool because its like a story is being told but not through singing, I think it would be cool to try  to put this poem with some awesomely created project in logic. This poem would go really well with echo to make it darker and more mysterious. The composer is from Russia and his music really refers to the traditional genre as I am used to hearing. 
Yesterday's hearts once flowed free here
Living out lives, sharing
People places, held so dear
Family, friends, abundant caring

Old walls do speak, you must see
Beyond the darkness and empty space
Listen close that which holds the key
To its history, once full of grace

Time stops for one one, this we know
The sun will rise, the oceans tide
Mortality is given and then lets go
Even hidden among this country side

Remnants of once before
Cob webbed shadows, take in light
Broken stones still mark a door
and the souls that which have taken flight

Dramatic and Desolate, yet beauty remained
Against the blue-grey sky
Its proven existence, still contained
Marks to ponder and ask why

Why this reminder of shattered pieces left behind
It's here to stay, to let it show
Life was once, so call to mind
What shall forever remain in moons glow.

I wasnt able to find more information how this people got together to create this, but I am assuming they are all friends. I thought this was a beautiful piece of work, even though the arrangers are not famous, they did a great job of putting this together. The video was done in Tuscany countrisde, but when I listen to music and words separately it makes me think of Ireland.
