1.
Sick on my
journey,

only my dreams
will wander

these desolate
moors

2.
On a journey,
ill:

my dream goes
wandering

over withered
fields

​

The work is inspired by the haiku poem above by the old master Basho, here reproduced in two versions.

It is his last poetry – his death poem. The mood is somewhere between dream and reality, the living and the dead, where consciousness wanders by unknown paths.

Martin Lohse 2012

In Danish

Jeg rejser
syg

Stille over
visne marker

Strejfer
mine drømme

​

Værket er inspireret af ovenstående haiku-digt af den gamle mester Basho, her gengivet fra Hans-Jørgen Nielsen: HAIKU – en introduktion og 150 gendigtninger.

Det er hans sidste digt – hans dødsdigt. Stemningen er et sted imellem drøm og virkelighed, det levende og det døde, hvor bevidstheden vandrer af ukendte stier.

  • Mogensen Lohse: Mobile, Works for Solo Accordion
    (Alessandro Mugnoz - Accordions Worldwide April 2018)
    ... Fresh music, contemporary but not excessively "intellectual" and not at all hermetic, indeed sincere and communicative, often captivating, which show strong roots with the great Western "classical" tradition; a happy combination, just like in Scarlatti, of lightness and playfulness with passion and solemnity.
    ... Music that surely reconciles the audience with contemporary "cultured" music and that undoubtedly enrichs the specific repertoire for the accordion.

  • Lykkeligt match
    (Mikael Krarup - mitFyn.dk)
    Lykkeligt match
    10 års samarbejde mellem Bjarke Mogensen og den danske komponist Martin Lohse har resulteret i en fin udgivelse med Lohses på én gang minimalistiske, melodiøse musik, som overraskende nok er moderne kompositionsmusik fra dette århundrede. Nogle er omskrevne tidligere værker, andre nykomponerede til Bjarke Mogensen. Lyst og venligt, men også indadvendt og mørkt, hans sans for udnyttelse af instrumentets trods alt begrænsede muligheder ligger i de ofte sindrigt udtænkte rytmiske lag, der som et "perpetuum mobile" udvikler sig og overrasker. Bjarke Mogensens suveræne spil gør oplevelsen stor, og ved flere aflytninger øges glæden. Cyklus-titler som "Passing" og "Momentum" synes velegnede og udtrykker sigende musikkens væsen, sammen med små menuetter eller de seks præludier, som er mere end blot forspil til noget andet.

  • Politiken (11 Aug 2015)
    (Thomas Michelsen - Politiken, Kultur bagsiden)
    "This release will convert the skeptic to new classical music"
    "It may well be that you are not going to be religious, if you invest in this release from Gateway Music. On the other hand, there is some risk that you will be reversed and start listening to contemporary music."
