in reference to public performace of ode to basses in circumstances of covid-19 pandemics
(please find the recommendation at the bottom of this page)
Borut Gombač
ODA BASOM
Bas je celina pod črto gladine,
mogočno gorovje od vznožja navzdol.
Širina trenutka, brezčasje globine,
skrita esenca ostalih glasov.
Bas ima dolg in odločen korak,
je val iz podtalja, vulkanski dotik.
Preden ga slišiš, že sliši ga zrak,
v vesolju večglasja časovni zamik.
Membrane v nizkih frekvencah drhtijo,
s trebušno prepono jih čuti telo.
Glasilke v brezdanjih zvonovih donijo,
bas lahko sliši celo gluho uho.
Refren:
Je delta in hkrati skrivnostni izvir,
strast in prastara zveneča modrost;
preteklost, sedanjost, prihodnost in most,
ki bitke površja poveže v mir.
In reference to performance of Ode to Basses, Institute for Bass Sciences issues:
