Bullet Train by Steven Schwartz/Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3

Bullettrain 3OH!3

work in progress started Friday 11th November 2022
 Third revision/rework uploaded Saturday Nov 19th 2022 (much better for my ears now)

for this challenge:

Record a piece of music that moves between — and perhaps even overlays — 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.


great idea, always loved measures like 5x8 and 7x8…
I just created a click track on 3 consecutive measures of 5/8+6/8-7/8 and repeated for 3 minutes.
Spent most of the morning working on the drum part, recording editing and quantizing, then the bass part was quite easy.
Then I had other works to do today and got trapped on the repetitive guitars parts (3 telecaster, 3 les paul)
Late in the evening I tried to get some order on the mess but it’s late and have to abandon as it is.
I share this as a demo/work in progress, I will finish it during next week.
It is a mess but the groove is fine.

Five Six Seven Groove - demo (disquiet0567)

I'm in NO way an aspiring musician...only posted this in an attempt to let my favorite musician LP know that her song Switchblade inspired a counterpoint melody to pop out of my brain, which has never happened to me before!

Here's another song I wrote for piano, percussion, and all the voices in my head...

What Lies

Icicle

Summer School of Rock

Nobody Knows

A single-verse song, repeated four times, each ending with one of the dreidel letters, נ (Nun), ג (Gimmel), ה (Hey), and ש (Shin). The song definitely sounds better when you clap along to the beat (1, 2, 3, 4...), and even better when you sing along!

LYRICS:

I'm here to tell you, one and all, that life is like a dreidel
It takes you for a spin and, if you're lucky, you come out on top
One moment you're as cozy as a baby in a cradle
The next you're on a carousel that never seems to stop

You're keeping busy, getting dizzy, swaying like a hurricane
Until the end, you're in a frenzy, teetering and turning

I'm here to tell once again that life is like a dreidel
Reminding us of miracles and simple fun

And we go round, and round, and round, and round
And round until we drop 
[Nun! Gimmel! Hey! Shin!]

Life is Like a Dreidel

Thoughts of cold days with snow and ice; familiar and innocent sounds of winter music.

Otherside

Let Them Live

I am a composer of original music for stage and screen. I love to collaborate on forward-thinking projects, particularly with themes of inclusivity and non-selective compassion (vegan). I am powerfully moved by the music of the Romani people, Romantic-era composers, choral music, Middle Eastern, Northern African, and classical Indian. I love the works of Chopin, especially his nocturnes for their delightful ornamentation and range of colours. I love Tchaikovsky for the same reasons and also for his incredible orchestrations. I love Thomas Newman for his dynamic textures and the humility in his piano lines. I love Nick Drake for his invitational delivery and the brilliance of his lyrics, melodies, and rhythms.
