Description: Last night the heavens finally opened for us here in Los Angeles. Here's a meditation on feeling grateful for the first rain after a long drought.

I was so inspired by Howard Scarr's latest patches for the virtual modular synth Bazille, that I decided to write some music with it. It's not surprising really, as this happens regularly when I start to explore Howard's stellar work! All the parts are Bazille, except for a couple of Logic drum loops.

First Rain

"Quiet Nights" by Richard Souther
I guess you could say this was the first solo song I ever wrote and recorded. I was probably 16 or 17?
 I was part of a "garage band " and we were doing demo's at Carole King and Gerry Goffin's studio.  It was called Larrabee and it was in West Hollywood. My dear friend and one of my piano mentors, Jim Hobson, played pedal steel, Paul Sabu on mandolin, Herb Melton played bass. Been so long I can't remember the drummer. I played an upright "tack hammer" piano that belonged to Carole. Matt Hyde engineered and encouraged. 
Little backstory… Carole came in late one night and heard it, …and liked it! That was a big deal to me.

Quiet Nights

A first short piece featuring my new baby, the Matrixbrute! What a fine, fine instrument this is. I just love that everything about it screams PLAY ME! This demo features no added FX except for compression/limiting on the master out. The synth's FX section is simply retro-gorgeous.

Hand To Wave

A short piece featuring Fluffy Audio's My Vibes sample library. The title means the coming and going of people who can't quite connect. Accompanied by 8Dio's Adagio Cellos and Violins, LASS 2 violas, and yours truly on the bass. Based in part on a piece I originally composed for the TV series O'.

Chassé Croisé - My Vibes Demo

My ode to the Memorymoog! I love this big beast of a synth. All the synth lines in this piece are from this American classic. Composing with it is like riding a mechanical bull, a real ride!
