Knowbody Knows - Combstead / Robert Grigg

ommmm / eeh eeh-eeh eeeeh
ommmm / eeh eeh-eeh

darkness ahead of me
darkness behind me
darkness below me
darkness above me
darkness to the left of me
darkness to the right of me
darkness surrounds me
darkness defines me

I'm the torch bearer
I'm the torch bearer

hold it up high
hold it up high
hold it up high (don't you wanna put up a fight?)
hold it up high (don't you wanna put up a fight?)

darkness, surround me
darkness, define me
every little shard of yours will remind me
how rare and precious every spark is

few understand you
even fewer can see you
the fabric we've pinned our every idea on
a few of us know just how luminous your dark is

it's why I'm your torch bearer
it's why I'm your torch bearer
it's why I'm your torch bearer
why you need a torch bearer

PROGRAM NOTE
Adagio for solo violin was composed as a surprise birthday present for my good friend Adam Abeshouse who is an excellent violinist, and also one of the world’s greatest classical recording producers. Since I enjoy creating pieces that musicians have a personal connection with, I asked Adam’s wife Maria which pieces Adam likes to play, and she mentioned the first movement of J.S. Bach’s Sonata No. 1 in G Minor. I have quoted phrases from various pieces by Bach in a few of my other works (my Elegy for Two Cellos and Piano, for example), so I decided to embed a few phrases from that movement in this piece, so that when Adam plays it, he will be reminded of his favorite piece by Bach. I also included motifs based on Adam’s first name (A, D, A, and Mi, the solfège name for E) and also on Maria’s name, and his daughters Sarah and Emily.

Adagio for solo violin was commissioned by Steve and Hildy Martin in honor of Adam Abeshouse’s 60th birthday.

So you  wake up in the morning 
What is the first thing that you say?
If I know anything about you 
It’s probably who you’ll be today?

A mystery to me, and everyone else 
Are you with me? or really are you in it for yourself?

And back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you

I’m looking at you and you’re thinking
What do you stand to gain from this? 
Can’t get a read on you I’m failing 
Can’t pull myself from your abyss 

A box to unlock, or leave it where it lay?
Will I know who you are? I hope I see the day

Back and forth you change your mindset
And now I don’t know what to do
I feel like all I know is your name 
But even that was given to you

Karl Kim is a man of many musical hats (perhaps too many for his own good, but that's a discussion for another time). 

​​His musical journey started off with piano lessons at age six, and from there he has picked up many other instruments over the years, including but not limited to: violin, guitar, trombone, and various percussion instruments. Karl was also just as quick to branch out to styles of music other than classical; most significant of these styles is rock and metal (especially of the progressive variety), but jazz, EDM, experimental music, and folk music from various parts of the world have also played a role in shaping him as a musician. 

As a concert music composer, these musical experiences, especially those as a metal guitarist, are what make up the voice that he projects into his compositions, especially in recent times. Pieces like "The Jury is Sleepless", "Without a Minute to Spare", and "So Cold, So Dark, So Chaotic" exist at a crossroads between music for the concert hall and music for the mosh pit. His music has been performed by ensembles such as the Rhythm Method, S.E.M., and Bearthoven, and he holds a B.M. in Music Theory and Composition from New York University. 

"Karl with a K" is an alter ego of Karl Kim. Karl with a K, while having the same musical background as Karl Kim, draws upon a fascination for rhythm game music that started with Dance Dance Revolution at the age of eight, and grew considerably to encompass games including, but not limited to, Sound Voltex, In the Groove, beatmania IIDX, Voez, and Arcaea. Karl with a K brings his background in metal and 20th century classical music into rhythm game original tracks such as "!CAUTION! small but deadly", "BELLUM", and "rudimentary methods of overkill", which can be characterized by plenty of guitars, unusual rhythms, and sometimes non-instruments being used as instruments. Much of his output as Karl with a K is written for the purposes of Stepmania simfile creation (though as of BMS of Fighters: EighTeen's "0verfl0w_err0r" this is no longer exclusively the case).

Karl Kim currently resides in Bloomington, Indiana where he is pursuing an M.M. in Music Scoring for Visual Media at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University. Karl with a K can be seen lurking around the internet (especially specific Discord servers), occasionally not being above a good meme from time to time. In addition, Karl with a K is working on his first project as a game developer, a typing meets rhythm gaming fusion titled "glyph;".
