First
some graffiti from Gaza to celebrate the ceasfire in hopes of a
prolonged peace and autonomous Palestinian rebuiding and recovery which
will be an endeavor requiring immense effort.
Now some nostalgic throwback photo to the old new world or the new world depending on you point of view, mine being that the "new world" (meaning the Americas) has never been a new world except from the pov of European colonizers; while another aspect is that, even if I was born in the "new world" (USA) it nevertheless seems increasingly like an old world since I have been living in Europe since 2005. This old world called Europe still seems like an old world even if when I arrived it seemed new in many ways. It's newness has levelled out into it's dailiness. Here's a picture of my maternal grandparents, looking very much of the old world in the new world now long ago.
In recent conversation with my cousin, he mentioned that he inherited this wedding photo of Felix Pesta and Stefania Pesta (nee Radomska) which I remember hung on the wall of their Ashley Street home in Buffalo, New York. Thanks to Bob Barzycki, I have a copy now.
Other news. Poems are getting written. Gaza City Blues, the working title, contains 135 solid poems and I'm searching for the poems that I wrote before I decided there would be such a book.
I am on bluesky a while now, if you want to meet there. @jeffgbk.bsky.social
Romania/Moldova Alert!
Eu și Karolina studiem limba română și ne planificăm deja următoarea călătorie de vară. De data aceasta până în Moldova, pe coasta Mării Negre.
I and Karolina are studying Romanian and planning our next summer trip already. This time all the way to Moldova, the down the Black Sea coast.
New albums and updates to earlier albums.
While many people seem to think it's Bandcamp Friday, it appears Bandcamp admins themselves seem to belong to another page, asking for Wildfire relief. Fair enough. We nevertheless made sure to have a few new titles out by this weekend for listeners. I'm also updating the album "A MOON WILL RISE FROM MY DARKNESS" with two fesh tracks and re-underlining again that all sales of that album alone are being redirected to humanitarian aid relief in Gaza. In other news, I've been exploring the new modular synth set-up with great excitement as a new dimension seems to have opened before me and there are already a few albums on the way. Also, TRUTH will come soon.
Wrapping up, I still have free download codes for "Future Antiquities" so, ask and ye shall recieve. And if anyone will make a special payment of 30 euros or usd or more for any Bandcamp album, I will send you a few other download codes, one being for "Bulgaria Sound Specific" one of my favorite field recording comps. Links below. Have a great weekend!
