House Of Magic - Improvised Piano Piece

Waves

you asked me to come
for electronics (2023)

This piece began life as a song for voice and piano based on E.E. Cummings' eponymous poem. However, I decided to subject my entire setting to a sort of cubist treatment and it resulted in a piece for fixed electronics with percussion sounds. 

Here is the poem:

you asked me to come:it was raining a little,
and the spring;a clumsy brightness of air
wonderfully stumbled above the square,
little amorous-tadpole people wiggled

battered by stuttering pearl,
                                leaves jiggled
to the jigging fragrance of newness
—and then.  My crazy fingers liked your dress
….your kiss,your kiss was a distinct brittle

flower,and the flesh crisp set
my love-tooth on edge.  So until light
each having each we promised to forget—

wherefore is there nothing left to guess:
the cheap intelligent thighs,the electric trite
thighs;the hair stupidly priceless.

you asked me to come, for electronics (2023)

COUNTY JAIL

2016
Janine Levinson: Vocals, Piano
Jon Lock:  Guitar, Bass, Synth   @jonlock
Written by Janine Levinson
Produced by Janine and Jon, Mixed by Jon

Something I heard reminded me 
Of black phones in the county jail 
Talkin' through the safety glass    
They always had that certain smell

Of skin and sweat
I thought it was the scent of fear
But then, just now, I wondered if it was the tears
That make them smell that way

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you never want to be
County jail, I'll visit when
The police take my love from me   

How could it be that little things
Are worth more than your liberty?
Talking through the safety glass
You said these sorry words to me:

 “I’d do the same again if I had purpose to,”
And I wonder now, well just what am I worth to you
A sheet of glass away?

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you never want to be
County jail, I'll visit when
The police take my love from me

It’s a place where you go to get broken
It’s where you’re the worst that you can be
And no truer words were ever spoken, than 
If it’s you in there, there is no "you and me”

County jail, oh county jail
Is where you’re always gonna be
I visit now, and maybe then
But you won’t get the best of me

County Jail   - Acoustic with Jon Lock

This album was created not to be an OST for a movie or videogame. This LP was created to be a complete story, told only by strings, drums, guitars and piano keys. Every track has its own plot, and order of compositions is not random. This story is about love, fight and losses. This story is about overcoming and peace. This story is about path of the life. This is the Chronicle. Chronicle of epic, magic and unpredictable events.

Chronicle

Beautiful Stranger

In this track i used acoustic guitar, Irish flute, piano, tin whistle, strings, electric bass and acoustic drums.
