NLS - 2024 - 09 - 05 thinking about it

I do not own the copyright to this music. I am not profiting from it's dissemination. I encourage the listener to seek out versions of this tune on a streaming audio platform of their choosing. "Stella by Starlight" is a popular song by Victor Young. You can find many versions of this tune. It is a jazz standard.

I have used iReal Pro for the drums and piano parts here. I played the guitar part on a Godin 5th Avenue Kingpin. The bass is a Yamaha BB434.

Year of Music: November 1, 2025

A sombre and plaintive piece, but not without elegance and some mighty climactic highs; the rich chromaticism throughout offers warmth despite the cold minor key

SWW40.2

I make music because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
