Friday, January 7th -- Merry Eastern Orthodox Christmas!

While you celebrate enjoy a snippet of The Song of the Sea

From Emahoy: Dedicated to the noble memory of my dear father: His Excellency Kentiba Gebru Desta. The melody of this piece was inspired by a strong childhood impression that lingered in my mind for my whole life.

“We sat on the deck of the ship because it was too hot in the cabin and the beautiful sight of the full moon and the waves that looked like a moving silver field were engraved in me for my entire life,” she writes in the new book, alongside the sheet music for "Song of the Sea."

Listen ... she's taking you on her waves on a journey far away ….

Movie: C'mon C'mon
Mike Mills on Taking Detours, Geometric Filmmaking, and the Tenderness of C’mom C’mon

Music seems so important to you and your films. Is there certain music you think someone should listen to before watching this movie? Almost as a primer.
Like as a set-up? Well, Satie. Like I play [Erik] Satie a lot on set and the Emahoy [Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou] piano that’s near it. We played that all the time on set and it’s really enchanted. That’s very deeply magical music. It’s like an incantation, so either of those I’d be really happy with.

The first song listed on Emahoy's Ethiopiques 21 CD, published by Buda Musique is The Homeless Wanderer. Here is what the song meant to Emahoy as she was composing it:

The homeless wanderer plays his flute while he worries about the wilderness around him where he journeys. At night in the mountains, when people and animals rest after the day, one hears the song of a flute which the little wanderer plays, alone and far from home. The wild animals and snakes do not dare approach him, but listen spellbound to the melody his flute produces. The power of the notes protects him. Thus he loses his fear of the nocturnal visitors and they become his friends.

Emahoy’s music has touched the lives of many and she's been hailed in the press as a musical genius. 🎼⁣

Emahoy describes what one of her songs, ‘The Homeless Wanderer,’ meant to her as she was composing it: The homeless wanderer plays his flute while he worries about the wilderness around him where he journeys. At night in the mountains, when people and animals rest after the day, one hears the song of a flute which the little wanderer plays, alone and far from home. The wild animals and snakes do not dare approach him but listen spellbound to the melody his flute produces. The power of the notes protects him.
