Battle Cry by Crystal Beth & the Boom Boom Band

Written for Seattle's 14/48 Boombox event - 12 composers were given the theme "Inside Out" and charged with creating five minutes of original music by the next morning. All 12 works were then put in the very capable hands of a 10-piece band filled with some of Seattle’s most talented and daring musicians, who spent 20 minutes rehearsing each piece before two world premiere concert performances that night. Pressure cooker of creativity!!  

This was the first run of the song I created - Kali Out Kali Calm. It is about the inner calm that comes from having a safe place to fully express yourself, be received, and be your biggest self.

Kali Out Kali Calm_Rehearsal Recording

This was the first song I wrote back in 2005. It's as true today as it ever was, and has been age updated accordingly. Most of the music I make is extremely different than this, but for this mother's day, I needed to record my roots and give my backbone the credit cause the credit is due. As my momma says, you gotta dance with the one who brung ya....
(special thanks to Tristan Gianola on guitar for joining my living room party)

Good Lord Willin

This song was written for 1448 Boombox (Seattle) a nifty little sonic shotgun event where you are given a theme, 12 hours to write a song, 10minutes to rehearse the band, and 2 shows the next night....GREAT FUN GOOD TIMES!!
