Submarines (2022)

Musicians have been composing a form of fractal music for at least five centuries. Motivic scaling was familiar to many of the great Flemish composers such a Johannes Ockeghem and Josquin des Prez who developed the art of the mensuration or prolation canon.

This excerpt from the Agnus Dei of his first Missa l'homme armé is one of the earliest examples of fractal music.

BC1266 An Interview With John Coltrane By Frank Kofsky

In the fall of 1966, John Coltrane was living on Long Island. He had a modest house on a quiet, tree-lined street with his wife Alice, and their children. One afternoon, Frank Kofsky took the train out to interview Coltrane. Coltrane picked him up at the station. They drove around town. They stopped to talk. Here’s the tape from the Pacifica Radio Archives.

Lyrics:

She walks alone
In a crowded port by the sea
Shopping for a gift for me

Across the bay
A steeple bell starts to sway
It chimes three times to mark midday

She hears, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

She turns around
Heads back through town
Humming quietly
What has she gotten for me?

The moon arises
Lapa comes alive
A sea of souls and samba floods the night

Against the tide
We work our way inside
To drink and dance and hold each other tight

She bends, she turns
She moves with grace
So clear for all to see

Ebbing, flowing
There’s no way of knowing
Which direction
This crazy love is going

Teresa’s heights
Mountain lights
Silent, flickering
She whispers delicately
The present is waiting for me

About me:

I grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Raised on classic rock 'n' roll, I was exposed to symphonic music, opera, and show music at an early age. I learned about world music as a teenager while traveling and performing in Senegal.

I began composing in high school and majored in composition at the Berklee College of Music.  I quickly fell in love with Bossa Nova.  After leaving Berklee, I studied jazz guitar with Jimmy Ponder, worked doing transcriptions for Emile Charlap, and writing jingles. I later took guitar lessons with Jack Wilkins, Peter Leitch, and Joshua Breakstone.

For 6 years, I performed and recorded with Sonido, the 12-piece Latin jazz & salsa group I co-founded with conguero Jeff Albert. I also performed with Elizabeth Meeker's 6-piece Latin combo, Dulcerito, and recorded the CD "Roots" with the Silas Meredith Band.

I compose and arrange, and am well versed in many styles including jazz, rock, pop, dance, Brazilian, classical, and world music. I also compose algorithmic and fractal music.

The songs showcased here are primarily demos for artists interested in performing or recording them and for those seeking original music for film and television.
