PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

PROGRAM NOTE
Couples who are in love often share the same interests, finish each other sentences, and laugh at the same jokes. In fact, Scientists at the University of California, Davis discovered that a couple’s breathing patterns and heart rates match up if they sit close to each other or look into each other’s eyes. They don’t even have to hold hands or talk for this to happen. However, a similar effect apparently does not occur among strangers, only couples in love. Coupled with this idea, I have always been fascinated by binary stars, which are two stars that rotate together, on the same axis. Binary Hearts for solo marimba is inspired by these phenomena. In this piece, I use heartbeat-like motives and ostinati, fast moto-perpetuo rhythmic sections and choral-like episodes, creating a joyous, gently shifting tapestry that is meant to reflect how two people feel when they are in love. Binary Hearts was commissioned by Micheal Barnes in honor of his marriage to Carly Prince.

SHERIDAN LYRICS

Hey guys I wrote a song
It's got nothing going on
The critics don't like it too much but I do...

It's been out for a while
Which kinda makes me smile
No one's listening to it but me and you...

Then I found a place
Where they've got real good taste
They love my music there and I love them too...
 
I didn't have a clue
Now I know just what to do
I'm gonna find your city and sing for you!

In Sheridan, how are you?
Don't even know what state you're in but I'm so glad I found you...
In Sheridan, where are you?
Don't even know how to get there but I'm gonna find you and sing for you....

In Sheridan
In Sheridan
In Sheridan
Oooh   Oooh

Hey guys I wrote this verse
It's a blessing and a curse
Not sure if it's better
But things can't get any worse

It's been a real ride yeah a real thrill
Like a roller coaster going up and down a hill
Don't think anyone will like it but in Sheridan they will!

So Sheridan, Can you hear me?
I'm gonna come there and play for you and we'll all feel so free-eee!!!!
ee eee
Yeah Yeah
Whoa oh

In Sheridan
In Sheridan
In Sheridan
In Sheridan

Yeah...

90's inspired Rock made in Metro Detroit.

Breaking all the lessons, from the ones that never try.
Gather up some sympathy, hanging on like suicide.
Now casting those of us who want to see.
A shadow of our former self, so what's it gonna be this time.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken.
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

And it's safe to say I can't afford another day.
On the stage of common ground, beginning's end can not be found.
Who and what we'll never be, and all the things we can't receive.

My mind is all tore up and finally broken. 
Got some blame to spread around, ramping up to wind it down.
I saw the world explode with phony rage and truth unspoken.
No one made a single sound, we're ramping up to wind it down.

Giving up to wind it down.

"Enemies" is a raw and powerful rock anthem that dives deep into the emotional turmoil of a soldier returning home from war. Struggling with PTSD and haunted by vivid memories of the battlefield, this song captures the essence of battling inner demons and the relentless fight to find peace. With gritty guitar riffs, haunting vocals, and a melody that echoes the chaos within, "Enemies" speaks to anyone who has faced their darkest fears and survived traumatic experiences. This song is not just a reflection of pain but also a testament to resilience and the journey towards healing.

The evocative lyrics and intense musical composition ensure that "Enemies" will resonate deeply with those who have lived through similar struggles, offering a powerful connection and a sense of solidarity in their fight for recovery.

UNTITLED ORCHESTRATION [ FULL CONCERT & TEMPO ]

Introduction in English:
For many, November is the worst month. I particularly like it because it is the month that best expresses the Buddhist mantra of "And the end is the beginning". In November, almost all the trees are bare and most plants have faded. But in this "destruction" lies the seed of new life. 
November is the month that most clearly demonstrates that we sometimes have to radically let go of beliefs and attitudes that no longer help us move forward so that we can reposition ourselves and continue to develop.
And this month also makes it clear that we must fully accept dying and death as facts in order to keep the flywheel of life, which goes far beyond us, running. 
At the age of 60, I am still in the "October of life". However, October is already knocking strongly on the door of the unstoppable transformation processes that reach their climax in November. 
The song "Autumn is here" summarises these thoughts in the form of a French chanson. I chose this form because, in my view, the French language and the genre of the chanson come closest to the basic existential themes of life.

Lyrics in English (For those, who don’t speak French)

Autumn is here

Everything falls, nothing holds
Nothing stands, it's already late
The green turns gray, the weather wet and rough
The flock of birds moves away into the warm blue

This morning I was full of energy
Tonight I'm tired
My garden of life will soon be withered
One little spark still glows
That still drives me and pulls me forward 

Autumn is here
The gray hair
Lies damp in the drain sieve

Autumn is here
The cataract
looks at me in the mirror

The fields are bare
The faces pale
The tree trunk breaks
In the middle of the poem

The clock runs down
The meadow lies fallow

The car groans
The eye runs and tears

The children look pityingly
The morning sun grins
Nothing you can gain 
Gain
The raven peeks
Around the corner, nods at you

Französischer Originaltext:

L'automne est là

Oui, tout tombe
Rien qui tienne
Il n'y a plus rien
C'est déjà tard

Le vert devient gris
Le temps humide et rude
La nuée d'oiseaux 
S'en va vers le bleu chaud

Ce matin, j'étais à fond
Ce soir, je suis fatigué
Le jardin de ma vie 
va bientôt se faner

Une dernière étincelle brille
qui me pousse et m'entraîne en avant

L'automne est là
Les cheveux gris
Se trouve dans le siphon

L'automne est là
La cataracte se rapproche
Me regarde dans le miroir
L'automne est là

Les champs sont nus
Les visages sont pâles
Le billot se brise
Au cœur du récit

L'horloge retarde
Le fond du pré est en friche
La voiture gémit
Les yeux sont pleins de pus

Les enfants regardent avec pitié
Le soleil matinal se moque de toi
Il n'y a rien d'autre que tu puisses gagner
Le corbeau regarde 
Au coin et il te fait un signe de tête

L'automne est la (Autumn is here)

A soundtrack that takes you on a journey to your innermost and deepest feelings.
It expresses the despair you feel when you are completely powerless like... 
... When you want to say something, but the words remain on the tip of your 
    tongue 
    and fall silent.
... When everything feels cold and you just want to feel something again, 
     but it just won't get any warmer.
... When you have knowledge for positive change, 
     but are forced to do so, 
    still not being able to change anything.
Because when we feel all these emotions and want to scream and cry at the same time, all that remains is the emptiness inside us, 
which plunges us into despair.

Deep - Seated Despair - The Completion

Die in Vain

Underneath the sterile lights
Lying still my breath is tight
A cold touch, a whispered lie,
Entire life flash before my eyes

Hidden world beneath my skin
Silent whispers screaming deep within
Every heartbeat every sigh
Protect a fantasy built on lies

As the chemicals flow
Unveil what no one knows 
Embrace the truth that shown
All is revealed as I glow

Sit in silence as secrets unfold
In neon light our stories are told
A mirror to my hidden honesty
And as for me I don’t like what I see

As the chemicals flow
Unveil what no one knows 
Embrace the truth that shown
All is revealed as I glow

Die In Vain
