Country life in Ojai Ca. at home all that came in on radio was a country radio station, slowly I fell in love with country music. Enjoying the CA based band Highway 101 .. and many others inspired my country twang for a few country songs produced with my friend Randy. 🌼

A heroic theme to get your day started. Also perfect for beginning a new project in life.

A New Day

Hello stranger - live

Fog descends over me
When you're arousing to me
Melt into madness
Desire so sweet
Intoxicating
Wakes me up at night
I bite your name into my pillow
Clouded judgement inspires touches
I can almost taste your lips
Would have kissed you then and there
Dreams folded in haze
Your eyes
Time warp
In the night a shadow descends over me
Hologram embrace
The light of day too close
I want to hold on to this moment
Taking in your beauty, inhaling all of you in dreams
Just be with me
Just a moment to imagine what could be and will not be
Just let me breathe
Melt into smiles and laughter, stroking your hair
Caught in a bubble, before I let you go
Imagination 
How soft your skin might be

PROGRAM NOTES
String Quartet No. 3 consists of five movements that explore “other voices,” either literally or figuratively. In a literal sense, this could mean speaking or singing in a way that is not considered normal or even out of one’s control. It could also mean speaking differently for a desired effect. Figuratively, “other voices” could mean a voice that is not one’s own. All five movements touch on these definitions in one way or another.

The first movement, Twist and Shout, uses musical patterns that sound like stuttering or someone who has a severe form of Tourette’s Syndrome. I use these sounds as a technical point of departure, incorporating jagged rhythms, erratic melodic patterns, and sudden volume shifts throughout the movement.

The second movement is entitled Poet Voice, and uses this style of reciting poems as a point of departure. In particular, this movement is based on a video of Louise Glück reading her poem “The Wild Iris,” which is included in a book of poems of the same name for which Glück won the Pulitzer Prize. Glück’s poem compares human suffering and finding a voice to the growth of a wild iris that makes a “passage from the other world” underground, despite the difficulty of breaking through. In the image of the wild iris, the explosion of color symbolizes new life. In this movement, I mimic Glück’s speech patterns and structure the movement around the sound of her voice and the content of her poem, essentially giving new life to her poetic reading. 

The third movement, Auction Chant, is inspired by North American auctioneering, which is a rapid-fire, rhythmic repetition of numbers and “filler words” spoken by auctioneers in the process of conducting an auction. This movement is also inspired by country fiddle music, which is a type of music often played in areas where auctioneering takes place.

In the fourth movement, Effects Pedal, I mimic sounds made by electronic effects pedals—and in particular, a vocal effects pedal, but without the use of actual electronic effects on the stringed instruments. I also use musical effects that sound somewhat like swallowing helium, which raises your voice when you inhale it, or sulfur hexafluoride, which lowers it.

The final movement is entitled Anthem. In this patriotic-sounding, yet slightly humorous movement, I weave together various sports themes and state songs from around the United States that are used to rile up fans at sports games.

String Quartet No. 3 was commissioned by The Indianapolis Quartet.
