PROGRAM NOTES
CAPTCHA originated with an assignment I was given as a participant in the American Opera Projects (AOP) Composers & The Voice program. Throughout the year, we wrote a variety of arias and songs and were given various "challenges." Some of the challenges included using no more than four lines of text, using found text, using prose, and also trying to avoid the passagio (a term used in classical singing to describe where different voice ranges cross over, for example, where the chest voice and head voice cross). I neglected to incorporate any of the challenges into previous pieces, and I only had one song or aria left, so I had to incorporate all of the remaining challenges into a single piece.

For found text, I decided to use CAPTCHA texts. The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University. A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that only humans can pass. For example, humans can read distorted text presented as a graphic, but current computer programs cannot. To find interesting words and phrases, I spent many tedious hours in front of my computer loading CAPTCHA texts. Actually, what I ended using are reCAPTCHA texts, which are derived from a free version of CAPTCHA that uses combinations of real words from scanned books that need human confirmation and gibberish text.

I initially wrote one song entitled CAPTCHA, but later decided to compose an entire song cycle that incorporates the original song. Each songs uses a few key words (the few that are actually real words and phrases) as a springboard. I attempt to phonetically interpret the other words and phrases that don’t make sense, infusing emotion where none exists. Ultimately, my goal is to create an emotionally moving experience, despite the nonsensical nature of the words.

CAPTCHA - I. duchenp Fled

In this piece the newly invented string instruments are playing in combination with flute, soprano voice and piano. The strings are being stretched between the beams of the mezzanine of the building and also hanging from the ceiling beams with heavy weights on them. The hanging strings surround the audience and musicians. A very special building HET VEEM (Van Diemenstraat 410, 1013 CR Amsterdam) - former warehouse, where the piece was premiered, inspired us to create these instruments and this composition. The concert was performed as a part of Toetsdestijds Concerten Series.

Water is one of my favorite songs on the album because of the deep bass, violins, and beat.  Let the reign begin!
When creating Sleep Walking I wasn't sure what it would be.  I created the songs with no idea of what I was going to create and just let the creativity happen.  The album was created without any physical instruments and was instead created with my laptop using a DAW and instrument plugins in GarageBand for MacOS.  
Songs range from easy listening to deep bass and drums.  

All in all, creating Sleep Walking  kept me busy during this COVID-19 pandemic and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I had fun creating it.
Thanks for listening.

"Close Call" is the fourth and final song from the album- "Long Night Drive- The Drive Continues" that consists of 4 bonus tracks!

It has a bright mood and some epic 80's synths that gives you the elation of driving at speed in the dark of night. Where you're at one with the the journey and not too worried about the final destination.

The retrospective part of the track focuses on the "close calls" you have with accidents/tragedies but you never let them phase you from focusing on enjoying the journey.

Bonne Écoute!!
