a song that takes inspiration from a meteorite i saw and some words from Kurt Vonnegut.


this piece takes inspiration from three different sources. the first being some lines in the introduction of a Kurt Vonnegut book. it’s hard to know if he was talking about reality, as he often blended sci-fi with anecdotes. but in this case, he was flying with his brother (a meteorologist) and he had with him a device that allows you to look into the clouds and see lightning that is occurring in daylight (not normally visible). as clouds bump into each other, they’re constantly charging and discharging electricity. Kurt Vonnegut referred to this device as an ‘electric eye’ - i liked the sound of the words and the idea of peering into a natural phenomenon that isn’t usually visible (but is always present).

the second inspiration comes from seeing a very interesting meteorite. we were out with friends at a party in the hills, and a meteorite tore through the night sky - i’ve never seen one quite like it. as it ripped through the atmosphere it burnt up into a blue/green streak across the sky. 

and the third bit of inspiration is the general resurgence of interest in UFOs in these days…. 

the overall idea of the lyrics/thought-process; how would it be if you saw something really peculiar in the sky, while you were out having fun with friends. would you believe your own senses?


i felt all of the above gelled nicely with the electric vibe of the Kawaii synth sounds... and so a song was born!



///////////////


it was the other year

when things were good


there we were 

with our feet on the ground 

our heads in the sky






electric eye / in the sky 




it was then that we saw it

blue / green/  tearing to pieces

could see it / breaking apart

through / the atmosphere

It is, once again, the most wonderful time of the year. For all of us struggling to feel like it's Christmas, let me whisk you away to a magical land for just a few moments with "Immanuel."

I chose to blend my favorite melodies from two songs: Carol of the Bells and Veni, Veni, Emmanuel (O Come O Come Emmanuel) into a seamless piece of music. Because of the complex nature of these songs, I decided not to include lyrics - rather to accentuate my favorite pieces of each song with cello, fiddle and mythical vocals. Enjoy - I've made downloading free as a celebration of everything good, wintry, Christmas and magical...

A piece I wrote that was focused more on the writing and composition rather than my playing. I also want to understand compositions I played in my last semester's recital by mimicking the composition style. The Imaginary inspirations could be solely derived from Hadrien Feraud’s composition Maps and from Tigran Hamasyan’s The Court Jester.
