This was my first time playing and recording my song “Whitney”, recorded live in one take with a friend’s acoustic guitar (while he, a drummer, played my electric guitar as accompaniment after showing him a few simple lead options!) Here is the outcome...stripped down with no effects, just FEELING. If you dig it please feel free to comment or repost! Thank you 🙏🏻✌🏻-Tim

Out Of Luck

This is the third track off the "Cosmic Overdrive" album. Having just come down from the high of recording, posting, and gaining followers/listens from my first recorded song "Radial Revolutions," I rushed to get a new song created. Admittedly, it was rushed which is why the song is slightly repetitious in nature. However, I think in the grand scheme of the album it fits nicely as a transition piece and it marks my progress as a musician, composer, and sound engineer.

PROGRAM NOTES
My original intent with this work was to write a set of four independent miniatures. After writing the first maximally-sized one, I decided to change course: these four "miniatures" are now my String Quartet No. 1.

Although these four movements are designed to be independent, small amounts of material are used interchangeably between each movement. Most notably, material from the first two movements is used in the third, and material from the third movement is used in the fourth.

The most prominent aural feature of the first movement, Fast and Sprightly, is the recurring "clarion" motive. This motive evolves into various thematic gestures and also reappears in the next two movements. Another prominent feature of the first movement is the use of jazz references. The string quartet is required to "swing," a style of playing usually only utilized by jazz musicians and big bands.

The second movement, Logy, begins by parodying North American, southern-style country waltzes. While composing this movement, I had visions of my mother interrupting "Three good ol’ boys fiddlin’ on a porch in Rabun Gap, GA," quipping at them to stop. The quipping is represented by the first violinist interjecting the "Rob–ert" theme. This strange, surrealistic daydream probably originates from memories of my mother calling my name from the other side of the bedroom door when I was a boy.

A section called "Andrew Lloyd Webber Disease" occurs in the middle of the second movement. This section is a schizophrenic alternation of a sick, dissonant, violin duo with an Andrew Lloyd Webber-sounding viola and cello duo. By the end of the movement, my mother joins the "Good ol’ boys" for a final song, after they have all become sick from eating too many boiled peanuts.

The third movement, Sad, Luscious Adagio, uses material from the first and second movements, but at a much slower tempo. Each player has a featured solo in this movement: the cellist plays a solo in double-stops and the violinist plays one made up of almost entirely artificial harmonics. The second violin and viola solos are intended to highlight the instruments’ singing qualities and the performers’ lyrical abilities. As with Logy, I use material recycled from previous movements.

Although the fourth movement, Energetic Polka, is not a strict polka, it has a polka-like beginning. It also contains a few short "quotes," the most notable one being the appropriation of the melodic line from the theme song from the television show The Love Boat.

Material from other movements is also used in Energetic Polka, particularly by the cello. The cellist never has a chance to play the "Pseudo-fugato" theme in Logy, so the cellist "aggressively" reintroduces it in this movement. Energetic Polka ends with a section entitled "Hyperfast shimmy and shake."

I am an entirely self-taught musician; all recordings, lyrics, performances, and productions are managed by myself. The occasional guest vocalist is featured on some tracks as evident by own my limited range. This account is meant to document my progress as a musician, songwriter, and engineer/producer.
