WORD THIEF

~ Catherine ~ 1 Comment

Thank you to everyone who supported WORD THIEF so far.

Here’s a little resumé of where to find what; an overview if you will. The links in the post below will take you to an external site. (PayPal and/or) SoundCloud.

* WORD THIEF by Catherine Tricarico can be found as paperback or ebook on your local Amazon site. I do have a couple of (faulty) copies at home. If you are interested in a personalized copy of WORD THIEF either get in touch in the comments or use this PayPal link. Don’t forget to mention your full name and address. The books are sold for 25€, international shipping and handling included. ❤️

* Word Thief – the poem was made into a piece of music, narrated by Daniel Cavanagh. It can be found on Soundcloud. Soundcloud is an external site where artists can share their music. The site is free.

* The Best Pessimist taken out of the book WORD THIEF was made into a song. All music and vocals by Weather Systems. This one can be found on SoundCloud too. It’s a melancholic piece of music, but as my dad said: one needs to listen to it a couple of times to understand it’s beauty.

* The Best Pessimist also has some kind of video clip that is exclusive on this blog. The video is made of pictures I took myself. It is more of an experiment and is in no way even remotely professional, but it exists and has nice moments.

* WORD THIEF and some of my other books can now be found in the Bibliothèque National du Luxembourg (national Library) and at the Centre National de Littérature (national centre for literature). They also interviewed me to have my profile added to the Autorenlexikon (dictionary of national authors). I am checking their site daily, but it has not been updated yet.

* Coming soon: Fly, lady butterfly will be made into a piece of music too. It will not be a song like The Best Pessimist, but a narration like Word Thief.

Once again, Thank You. Your support, no matter how small matters.

Piano Day 2019

~ Catherine ~ 8 Comments

It’s the 88th day of the year, that means it is piano day. Nils Frahm invented piano day, and it is on the 88th day because there are 88 keys on a piano.

And in honour of this day, I am sharing this with you.

Weikie (Adam Weikert) – Lantern

And I urge you to listen to James Radcliffe. If you follow this link, you will be able to find extraordinary blog posts and beautiful and intense music.

I wish you a beautiful day filled with good thoughts and beautiful music.

Currently, I am reading River Dixon’s Colder. I like his poetry – maybe it because it reminds me of my own once in a while? Either way, it’s touching work… Check out his blog: https://thestoriesinbetween.com

Second book on my bedside table is The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes. I am not far in, I cannot say anything about it yet… So far thought, the writing is good and easy to read for non-native English speakers (like me).

Other than that…

Thank You and Good Night,

Cathy

PS: I believe that a good writer needs to read a lot to understand words and their impact…

Music…

Let’s start this music post with something progressive.

The band is called Gazpacho, and the song is called “Chequered Light Buildings.”

The song is from an album called “Night” (2007, Kscope)

🎧🎵🎶

The second song I recommend is called “A Long Time Listening” from another Nordic band, (Gazpacho are from Norway) Agent Fresco. (Agent Fresco are from Iceland)

The song is from an album with the same name – “A Long Time Listening” (2010, Record Records)

Thoughts?

I love this song. I know… Radiohead is a bit of a cliché. Just like with Pink Floyd it took me a while to get them and truth be told, I am still not that big a fan, but I own 4 or 5 of their albums. (Of course, I do…)

This is my favourite cover of this song:

Ever heard about Nate Maingard? Great man, I like him a lot. Though, I believe that his honesty and openness, his raw approach to everything he does may not be every one’s cup of tea. He is on patreon and you can find home on http://nate.live

Be curious… You know you want it,

Big hugs,

Cathy

I feel like sharing some more music… While last time, both songs I shared were more electronic, this week I listened to something different.

Fink – perfect darkness

Fink. The first song I heard was Too Closely. I got curious and listened to more and more of his music. In the meantime, I have seen him live, and his album “Perfect Darkness” (2011) still plays regularly on my stereo.

Antimatter – in stone

This is music I often listen to when I am writing. The reasons are clear and not. The mix of awesome lyrics and emotion-evoking music is what gets my muses going.

enjoy the music… make sure to listen the second one to the end.

Have a nice Saturday,
Cathy

(PS: why am I told that the bathroom needs a scrubbing, when I worked all week, and he was home? I am irritated and stubborn now, but eventually, I will do it, and he knows it.)
