(though i'd cite different poet references) and more eloquently put than my meandering words - 'of its time' is a phrase i, too, choose to describe this album. i have the extremely good fortune to consider stevie kalinich as a good friend and to facilitate a project that is, in effect, a 'bookend' to 'a world of peace must come'. recorded in england 39 years later (when we knew not that 'a world of peace must come' would get a release) 'galactic symphonies' is a suite of sonic landscapes. guitars -quiet classical and live electric loops, composed by englishman richard durrant, envelop 6 of mr kalinich's poems (revisiting 2 of them now found on 'a.w.o.p.m.c.', in a very different stylee). the poet retains that sense of seeking, that search for the ecstatic, that questioning... though having to come to terms with a physical aging, which, at times, is reflected in his words, stephen john kalinich has not lost that sense of optimism and still embraces the optimistic and the 'oneness'. after yesterday's presidential result i wrote to stevie to hope that there will now, indeed, be a change within the usa and that the release of and the sentiment of 'a world of peace must come' is, indeed, timely. he may now even be able to recite 'america i know you' with the awe and optimism with which it was written! so glad you picked up on stevie's work. cheers from sunny brighton spot on, sir.
(though i’d cite different poet references)
and more eloquently put than my meandering words
- ‘of its time’ is a phrase
i, too, choose to describe this album.
i have the extremely good fortune
to consider stevie kalinich as a good friend
and to facilitate a project that is, in effect,
a ‘bookend’ to ‘a world of peace must come’.
recorded in england 39 years later
(when we knew not that ‘a world of peace must come’
would get a release)
‘galactic symphonies’ is a suite of sonic landscapes.
guitars -quiet classical and live electric loops,
composed by englishman richard durrant,
envelop 6 of mr kalinich’s poems
(revisiting 2 of them now found on ‘a.w.o.p.m.c.’,
in a very different stylee).
the poet retains
that sense of seeking,
that search for the ecstatic,
that questioning…
though having to come to terms with a physical aging,
which, at times, is reflected in his words,
stephen john kalinich
has not lost that sense of optimism
and still embraces the optimistic
and the ‘oneness’.

after yesterday’s presidential result
i wrote to stevie to hope that
there will now, indeed, be a change within the usa
and that the release of and the sentiment of
‘a world of peace must come’
is, indeed, timely.
he may now even be able to recite
‘america i know you’
with the awe and optimism
with which it was written!

so glad you picked up on stevie’s work.
cheers
from sunny brighton
