Melosías de la Tarde is the personal blog of pianist, conductor, composer, improviser, teacher, writer, and wanderer Josu De Solaun, a living notebook of fleeting thoughts and fragmentary illuminations. It is a terrain of poetic gusts, travel jottings, philosophical sparks, soliloquies, and ruins: essays that never quite begin, or perhaps never quite end. Here, thought meanders; not in search of conclusions, but of echoes.

You’ll find aphorisms, shards, moral reflections, paremic embers, marginal scholia, beginnings of studies, false starts, maps without destinations, and short rhapsodies written as letters to oneself. Every entry is a feather fallen from some passing flight of intuition; in Spanish: serrín, virutas, esquicios, traces of a consciousness in motion. Disorder reigns, but not without a kind of secret compass...

This is a space for the in-between: the intermezzi of the day, the sparks that come unbidden in the late afternoon, when silence stretches and thought stirs. Melosías de la Tarde does not seek coherence, only presence; a presence made of nubs and notations, of beginnings and aftermaths, of what remains after the blaze.
