Lyrics:
somewhere 
there’s a version 
of you and me 
lost in each other’s eyes,
wind blowing through our hair,
sea crashing with the sand,
sun setting in the sky.

somewhere!
there’s a version 
of you and me 
and we are 
lost in each other’s eyes,
wind blowing through our hair,
sea crashing with the sand,
sun setting in the sky.

"For All Of It" was inspired by events not only in my own life but also by Obi-Wan Kenobi's words to Darth Vader in the Kenobi series. 

I've had to sit back and look at everything I have done in my life up until now and try to make sense of it all. All I can do is apologise to myself for everything that went wrong, and for everything I've lost in the last couple of years. 

I didn't want to make it extremely dark but it definitely has an interesting undertone. The piece features the cello, double bass, timpani, ambient sounds and sampling. The piece was created in the Flamenco Mode which gives it a bit of a middle eastern quality. 

Enjoy the music and keep an eye out for the video coming to Youtube over the coming weeks.

Masquerade

LYRICS:
You don't wanna give up to your conscience
You don't wanna get up till the sunrise
You don't wanna rollout in a moment
You just wanna moving clockwise

Time is elusive. It proceeds swiftly in a straight line, always forward and without waiting for us. Being on this continuous and unstoppable path, leads us to ask ourselves many questions about the present and the future. But as far as we go forward, everything, meant as what shapes all things, is also a cyclical trajectory. It returns, never the same as before but always ready to come back to itself. Just as the hands of the clock move swirling towards their origin and then overtake it again and go beyond it countless times. Life too proceeds inexorably forward and in a circle, retracing each step and acquiring new form.
After all, you just wanna moving clockwise.

PROGRAM NOTES
Gruesome creatures have always fascinated me, so when Duo Scorpio asked me if I would be interested in writing them a new piece, and their only request was that I incorporate the scorpion as a theme, I was happy to oblige.

The first movement, Trinidad Scorpion, is inspired by a fiery red pepper called the Trinidad Scorpion "Butch T", currently the hottest pepper in the world. It measures a blistering 1,463,700 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). (A typical jalapeno pepper measures around 5,000 SHU, while a habanero pepper measures up to 350,000 SHU.) The tempo is appropriately marked con fuoco, and the contrapuntal middle section is subtly infused with Calypso rhythms.

Promenade à deux is the title of the second movement, borrowed from a colorful description of the scorpion's complex courting and mating ritual. This begins when the male and female locate and identify each other using a mixture of pheromones and vibrational communication. The courtship starts with the male grasping the female's pedipalps with his own; the pair then perform a "dance" called the promenade à deux. The courtship ritual can involve several other behaviours such as juddering and a cheliceral kiss, in which the male's claw-like mouthparts grasp the female's. In some cases, the male will inject her with a small amount of venom, perhaps as a means of pacifying her. Once mating is complete, they separate. The male generally retreats quickly, most likely to avoid being cannibalised by the female, although sexual cannibalism is infrequent with scorpions. Scorpions glow fluorescent under black lights, so I imagine the scorpions basking in a fluorescent afterglow after completing their courtship.

The third movement, The Tale of Orion, is inspired by an ancient Greek myth. According to legend, Orion boasted to goddess Artemis and her mother, Leto, that he would kill every animal on earth. Although Artemis was known to be a hunter herself, she offered protection to all creatures. Artemis and her mother sent a scorpion to deal with Orion. The pair battled and the scorpion killed Orion. The contest was apparently lively enough to catch Zeus's attention, so he raised the scorpion to heaven and afterwards, at the request of Artemis, did the same for Orion. This served as a reminder for mortals to curb their excessive pride. A second version describes Orion and Artemis growing fond of each other. Learning of this development, Apollo, Artemis's twin brother, grew angry and sent a scorpion to attack Orion. After Orion was killed, Artemis asked Zeus to put Orion up in the sky. So every winter Orion hunts in the sky, but every summer he flees as the constellation of the scorpion approaches.

Scorpion Tales was commissioned by harpists Kathryn Andrews and Kristi Shade of Duo Scorpio through a grant from the American Harp Society.
