Dance Of The Costco Managers

And what about the pathetic sots who can’t seem to get ANYTHING right? They need an operator’s manual too, dammit!

For this one I had to come up with the cheesiest-sounding ‘New Age’ music I could conjure. CAUTION: May cause suicidal thoughts.

Failure For Dummies

Not long after 9/11, I was down at Philly Airport to pick somebody up. (They hadn’t yet rigged up all the barricades and checkpoints they have now.) On this particular day they had a whole section blocked off from pedestrian traffic, presumably for security reasons. To keep people out, there was this poor little uniformed sot waving them away with the same line, over and over: “Can’t go there.”

That’s all the guy’s job was - just standing there waving folks away with “Can’t go there”. (I wonder if, on his job interview, all he was asked to do was wave his arms and say “Can’t go there”, as for an audition.)

It served as inspiration for this silly offering, which I have come to realize is an observation about these wacky times, particularly regarding book banning, abortion rights, womens’ rights, LGBTQ rights, gay marriage, political correctness, loss of coverage for contraceptives, the so-called Critical Race Theory, and so on.

So it got much bigger than “Can’t go there”. (I snuck in ‘Can’t Touch This” one time as a tip of the hat to the composer.) As you will hear, I wound up riffing on all kinds of stuff you can’t do. The list is practically endless, as it turns out.

Of course, the music bed behind it is not mine – it should be pretty obvious where it came from.

Can't Go There

This track is a projection of what would happen if some death-metal band like, say, Cannibal Corpse stopped recording songs with titles like 'Nothing Left to Mutilate' and 'Hammer-Smashed Face' - having decided instead to turn over a new, 'lighter' leaf. In this decision to reach out to a more mainstream audience they might attempt material that comes from the Great American Songbook, classics like this one (which I happen to love) by the legendary songwriting team of Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

FYI...this is the BLEEPED/Censored version!

Set to the classic David Rose composition "Holiday for Strings", this hilarious 4-minute romp is a well-deserved smackdown of one of the world's most famous feckless morons. Hopefully I succeeded in ripping trump a new asshole - using no anesthesia - and even if I didn't, the process of creating it still served as great therapy for me personally. Now that I’ve got it out of my system, I can get back to my more ‘serious’ projects.

Mel Brooks once said that the best way to take down a public figure who deserves it is with Ridicule. (Hence his brilliant takedown of Hitler in 'The Producers'.) Submitted for your Approval...

Holiday For Assholes

Hey Kids!! I bet you thought big, sappy ballads like 'the Way We Were' are entirely the domain of aging, sentimental fluffs who think Marvin Hamlisch could walk on water. NEWS FLASH: i discovered a young artist with the artistic wherewithal to take this American classic to a whole new level (downward) rendering it relevant to a new generation of pissants and miscreants raised on Screamo - waiting with eager, deafened ears for this exciting new musical trend. I proudly introduce a new addition to the growing AirBorn roster of artists. Ladies & Gents, may i introduce, direct from Piscataway, New Jersey...PSYCHO SAM! Heard here with the JACK TORRENCE PHILHARMONIC!!

Take it away Sammy...

The Way We Were Screamo Version

DayDance I was inspired by the vision of a beautiful, powerful Shaman woman, priestess and protector of the Innocent. For recharging of the Chi, she dances with sensual abandon, blissfully alone in an open field, free as a child, beneath a wild, smiling sun. It is the dance itself which gives her power and renews in her the joy and loving protection she so generously bestows upon others.

This is a re-do from a much slower version I recorded back in 1988. I really love the organic sounds blended with the etheric sounds in the instrumentation. The music itself was written in a joyful discovery that I was going to be a father. My son, a grown man now, was a wish that really DID come true.

An accomplished writer, producer, performer, and recording artist, George creates music which speaks of enlightenment and positivity in a world that could really use it. 

Over a decades-long career which includes a staff-writer position with Screen Gems, a recording deal with CBS/Epic Records, the production of several planetarium show soundtracks, a critically acclaimed three-album set of exercise music for children, a long history of live performance, and the release of no fewer than ten self-produced full-length albums, he has evolved into one of ‘those’ musicians who has redefined the meaning of versatility.

His creative output spans multiple genres, ranging from power-pop to soaring, progressive rock and on into the world of magical, ambient soundscapes, with recent forays into orchestral and choral works for film and television. His soundstages often take on expansive and cinematic proportions.

More than providing background to some ‘event’, George tends to make music which is the event ITSELF, particularly in his longer works. His compositions, both vocal and instrumental, are often colored with strokes of the contemplative, mysterious, downtempo. At other times they become dramatic, fierce, intense, even ecstatic. When there are lyrics, they often speak of love and longing or the search for a spiritual ‘true north’ - but at other times they rant street-level satire and political commentary.

George has essentially placed himself in a class all his own by creating refreshing hybrids of musical genres with little regard for modern trends or fads. 

George currently lives with his wife-and-best-friend in Lancaster, PA, with lots of farm country nearby. In the basement of the Lancaster house is his studio where, in addition to building a portfolio of compositions designed for film, he has just completed a new album, his eleventh.  

This upcoming release, titled Soul Ascending, is a 70-minute program of mystical, Neo-Shamanic long-form compositions which explore exotic realms generally classified as Ambient, Deep Chill, Tribal/World, Trance, or Spacemusic. Starkly reflective of his personal, ongoing spiritual journey, Soul Ascending is uncompromised, adventurous music crafted for meditation and deep listening. It is wild, enriched sound, sometimes tender, always intense…of and for the spirit.

Never one to shy away from an unusual idea, he has with Soul Ascending revisited a longtime fascination with surround-sound-for-audio. Though the term ‘surround’ has become a catch-all phrase for several of the multichannel formats, George’s particular approach utilizes an innovative hybrid of binaural, psychoacoustic, and ambisonic mixing techniques, resulting in a greatly enhanced, immersive listening experience.
 
       While somewhat irrespective of the definitions and aesthetics used in surround sound for motion pictures, this iconoclastic concept nonetheless lends itself perfectly to such a soundstage as ‘Ambient’ provides - and has of late become a subject of some intrigue among professional colleagues and engineers alike.
             
 When he does manage to break away from his musical universe, Jordy enjoys travel, camping, cycling, photography, inventing new recipes, and astronomy. Astronomy is of particular interest because he is, as ever, on a quest to find out which planet he might actually be from…perhaps the rumors are true after all.
