There is no end to composer Peter Broderick’s creative output, and so we present to you his new album titled 'All Together Again' — available worldwide on November 17th 2017 via Erased Tapes. 

Words from Peter, October 2017:

"Ever since I started releasing records in 2007 (10 years ago now!), people have contacted me periodically to ask if I’d be interested in making music to accompany their projects. Most of these projects have been things like films, dance pieces and theatre plays . . . but every so often I get the odd request for something a little different. Peter, would you write a song for my wedding? My one year anniversary? A ferry boat ride?

In early 2015 I was asked to perform 12 minutes of music during a runway show as part of New York Fashion Week. I agreed and began composing a 12-minute piece which I could perform on my own with a few different instruments and some looping pedals. I made a recording of the piece and sent it over to my contacts at the fashion show . . . but a few days before I was to fly out to New York, they wrote back and told me they actually just wanted me to play a few older songs that they were already familiar with. Feeling slightly disappointed, I shelved the other piece, giving it the title If I Were A Runway Model.

It is with great pleasure that I now present this piece in a collection of commissioned works spanning the last decade . . . it’s All Together Again. This group of oddball works does indeed include a couple pieces written for weddings (Our Future In Wedlock and The Walk), and a song someone asked me to write as a gift for his wife on their first year wedding anniversary (Emily). And indeed, there’s a 17-minute piece written to accompany a ferry boat ride in Istanbul (A Ride On The Bosphorus). A few of the pieces were written for films (Robbie’s Song, Atlantic and Seeing Things), and one for a kind of interactive installation (Unsung Heroes).

In my early days of recording, I took pride in playing all the different instruments myself and doing the recording myself as well. And then at some point I started branching out, working with other musicians and recording engineers. But this record is very dear to me in that it’s a return to that original approach . . . playing all the different instruments myself, working with my limits on each one, and my own limits in recording and mixing. I’ve always held a broad curiosity for all different instruments and all different styles of music, and if nothing else I hope this record will portray that curiosity, and my pure love for this thing we call music. Can you dig it?"

The cover art was made by Peter himself in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, by cutting and sticking different coloured paper fragments to depict the individuality of each track.

lyrics
Savin all your honey 
For a rainy day 
All your doggon money 
Don't you let it slip away 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo 

Life is kinda funny 
Sometimes I wanna run away 
Run into the river 
Let it carry me away 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo 

Don't Should Yourself so constantly 
Don't be afraid, follow your heart 
Some call it God, some call it intuition, 
That thing that speaks to you when you listen 
That still small voice behind the noise, whispering 
"Listen to your beating heart" 

Amaranth and honey 
Laying in the sun all day 
Life is kind of funny 
Don't you let it slip away 

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo 
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

Future Telephone - EP

ORDER NOW

I wrote the verses & chorus in May 2018 after one morning, high on love-drugs after falling in weekend-love at a festival, I cracked an egg into the compost bin and proceeded to put the shells in the frying pan. Yes yes, I was in total La La love land. But as can be expected from a festival love affair, just a few weeks later the castles I'd built in my imagination started to crumble and turn into compost themselves. And from that compost grew the bittersweet bridge to complete the song's story. 

So here's a bittersweet love song dedicated to everyone out there who falls in love too easily or lets their imaginations get the better of them from time to time. 

The first release with my Sarabande sisters Shiloh Parkerson & Hannah Levy's gorgeous voices intermingling with mine - YAY! 
♡♡♡ Heartfelt thanks to my Patreon supporters for making it and others possible ♡♡♡ 

Factoid. I wrote the opening melody as part of my "Melody-a-Day Mission" for the month of May 2017. This one was inspired by "Dream" by Everly Brothers.
lyrics
I've been bumpin into things 
like they talk about in old love songs. 
Every since you tuned my heart strings as high as they can go, 
I have been 
dizzy.... 



Feel like I've been drinkin alcohol. 
And I know it makes no sense at all. 
What is this powerful chemical, coursing through my veins, 
makin me 
dizzy. 

I want you 
to hold me tight 
all through 
the end of time 
I know I've drunk 
a little too much of you 

I know I've fallen much too far too soon, again. 
I've built another castle on the Moon. 
And the arches are crumbling, and red flags line the halls. 
But I ignore that all, cuz 
oo this drug is strong. 
And when I am on it I can pretend nothing's wrong so 
until this spell is spent 
and our castle turns to ruins 
I'll be here 
dizzy 
on the Moon, 

dreamin up a whole damn life. 
I'm even dreamin I could be your wife. 
Dreamin is all I can do, without you... 
dreamin til I'm 
dizzy. 

I want you 
to hold me tight 
all through 
the end of time 
I know I've drunk 
a little too much of you
