Redwood

Peaceful city slept as usual that night 
When engineers conducted fatal test 
Dark sky lit bright by ionized flashlight 
Cruel blast will lay their souls to rest
 
Faceless authorities gave order to assure 
While firefighters fought the toxic blaze 
There is no need to worry rest assured 
Internal organs liquefied in coming days
 
Human flesh
Was enough to go around
No one knows
How much went underground
 
Residents gathered on the bridge of death 
While hidden enemy attacked their skin 
For most this will dictate their final breath 
Regardless of their moral good or sin
 
Unsure which augmentations they possess 
Some lucky children made it to adulthood
Their city has some tourists to impress
With stories of a glowing underwood

Human flesh
Was enough to go around
No one knows
How much went underground
Human lives
Were dispensable as soap
Reckless lies
Buried all remaining hope

Residents gathered on the bridge of death 
While hidden enemy attacked their skin 
For most this will dictate their final breath 
Regardless of their moral good or sin

Human flesh
Was enough to go around
No one knows
How much went underground
Human lives
Were dispensable as soap
Reckless lies
Buried all remaining hope

Sacrificed the liquidators marched ahead
Bled and burned while the world was hanging by a thread
Giving up their final poisoned breath
Selflessly averting swift and certain death

Hands out - Robert Grigg & Combstead

Our blood we shed
Runs in a circle, a system built to fail
Muscles and sinews
Tangled like vines under your skin of pale

My pair of hands
Can untangle you and build anew from them
My life given meaning
I'll take my time to unravel you from the hem

You are the rain
We are the same

The blood in you
I release from its cycle of endless routine
Your end's a beginning
To make me feel pure and once again more clean

You are the rain
We are the same

I will be reborn
And bite the serpent's tail
And around we'll go
Unless someone tips the scale
  
The cycle, cycle's repeating
Cycle, cycle's repeating
Cycle, cycle's repeating
Cycle, cycle's repeating      
(Maybe I'm wrong)
Cycle, cycle's repeating   
(Maybe I'm wrong)
Cycle, cycle's repeating     
(Maybe I'm wrong)
Cycle, cycle's repeating      
(Maybe I'm wrong)
(Maybe I'm wrong)
(Maybe I'm wrong)
(Maybe I'm wrong)

Cycle

My take on the seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn in that order. The 'Summer' segment features a quotation from "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst.

PROGRAM NOTES
In some ways, String Quartet No. 2 is similar to my String Quartet No. 1: the five movements are stylistically diverse, I use a few snippets of pre-existing music, and the music, while idiomatic, is technically demanding. As with my first quartet, this work explores technical and aesthetic ideas I didn’t have a chance to explore in other works.

The first movement, Colored Fields, is inspired by abstract expressionist painters such as Mark Rothko, Kenneth Noland, and Barnett Newman, but also pointillist painters such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. There are textures that emerge and submerge using articulations that gradually shift from soft to loud, or short to long, and there are a few transitions that utilize a technique I call pitch phasing or phase modulation, as opposed to tempo phasing. In these transitions, two or more instruments gradually modulate (raise or lower) notes, motives, or phrases by gradual, very refined, microtonal, non-chromatic increments, settling on new pitch areas that directly reflect the previous areas, just modulated up or town. The movement ends softly with a virtual desaturation of the rhythmic material. I remove notes, one by one, until there’s nothing left.

The second movement, Rigor Mortis, is inspired by a comic strip by David Lynch that newspapers ran for many years. In this strip, Lynch sketched a stressed-out, pitch-black dog, looking very mean and almost buzzing with anger; it looked like it was about to explode. Every strip began with an accompanying paragraph that read, “The dog who is so angry he cannot move. He cannot eat. He cannot sleep. He can just barely growl. Bound so tightly with tension and anger, he approaches the state of rigor mortis.” This made me envision musicians playing with such ferocity and tension that the music seems to eventually cancel itself out, anger imploding in on itself.

The third movement, Dolente, is sad, lush, and mournful. The only request I had when writing this quartet was to incorporate a Norwegian fiddle tune or theme by Edvard Grieg, so I chose themes from Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1. The form of this movement mimics the form of a song by Edvard Grieg’s entitled Spillemaend (Minstrels, or Fiddlers). The poem that Grieg set in 1876 as the first of Six Ibsen Songs (Op. 25) is based on the Norwegian folktale of the fossegrim, a male water spirit who could teach the art of violin-playing, but often at the price of personal happiness. In some versions of the story, the poor violinist drowns in the end. Like the song, and echoing the second movement, this movement beginning with the protagonist’s longing, his desire for the beloved. Next, he encounters the fossegrim, who promises that becoming a master of music will allow the protagonist to become master of his beloved. In the final stanza, the protagonist becomes a master fiddler, but he is now a cursed, wandering musician deprived of earthly love, so he drowns himself.

The humorous fourth movement, Scherzando, capitalizes on effects that at times, often make the string players sound inebriated. I make use of copious glissandi and tempos that fluctuate between 3/4 and 6/8, giving a sense of unease.

The final movement, Collage, is similar to the first movement in that it is inspired by the visual arts, and specifically, collage painting and works by surrealists. Many themes from the first four movements are brought together in this odd-metered movement.

String Quartet No. 2 commissioned by J. K. Billman and is written for and dedicated to the Euclid Quartet.

I'll Be Waiting for You

Dear Music Enthusiasts,
my Name is Michail and I love to compose Music. I have always been interested in writing my own music but just recently I decided, after a long voyage of different musical engagements, to cement my ambitions into a full album.

I would like to state, that every aspect, from the conception, composition, arrangement, tracking and programming all the instruments as well as singing and writing the lyrics and also the mixing and mastering are done by me alone in my little home studio :) 

This site contains musical ideas, snippets, different projects but also finished songs from my album, just to show you the potential. 

I hope you enjoy it and if you like to support my project please visit my patron site:
