Achtbaan Antanas Rekašius

Stef Bos schrijft niet alleen hele mooie liedjes, maar ook gedichten. En er komt volgende week een nieuwe dichtbundel uit genaamd Achtbaan, die hij maakte samen met schilder en kunstenaar Pieter van Straten.(Zuid-Afrika)

Het kind in mij zoekt naar het licht
de onrust zoekt een evenwicht
de dromer gaat op avontuur
de angst in mij die bouwt een muur
de man in mij zoekt het gevecht
de vrouw in mij zoekt het begrip
mijn hart gaat alle kanten uit
mijn hoofd zoekt naar een evenwicht
Stef Bos

Music of Antanas Rekašius’ (1928-2003) is seen as strong and suggestive within the context of today’s postmodernism. It is based on trivial melodies, and often primitive harmonies – the experience of music in everyday life. But Rekašius seems to pull these banalities out of the familiar everyday sound, and gives them a completely different meaning, where irony, the grotesque, and teasing of the audience intertwine with unexpected grief, anxiety and tragedy. In a completely natural way, he wraps that banality in unexpected sounds, aleatory and ornaments. It becomes a candidly histrionic manifestation, a sound spectacle, with eloquence, character vivacity and temperament at the forefront. Rekašius was a poet of hypertrophy in terms of sensuality, hysteria, nervousness – and at the same time of playfulness, surprise, contrasts and juxtapositions. https://www.mic.lt/en/database/classical/composers/rekasius/
