Made of glass (demo)

Late last year, I started experimenting with different types of electronic music, and "After Hours" was one of my first creations. This track served as the foundation for my unique style of electro house music, featuring Moog Bass, overdrive, Germanium and transistor TB-303 emulated sounds. The driving beat of an after-party and an ethereal noise bridge contribute to the overall vibe of the track.

The song was initially mixed and then later remixed into its current Gold Fusion version. It captures a sense of retrofuturism, as reflected in the album cover, and exudes dance vibes with a tempo of 136 bpm. This track became a template for two other songs on the same album, "Solid Levels" and "Electro Serum." While these songs share the same template, each one is unique, and none quite matches the distinctiveness of "After Hours," which will always hold a special place among my favorites from this project.

Dear Reader, 

It was a great pleasure, after presenting an early version of this song (which I had sung) to Christy Bluhm, to learn that she wanted to sing it. There was no hesitation on my part. I immediately muted every note I sang and gave it over to her. Christy sings beautifully on this song, and I cannot imagine the song in any form but with her gorgeous voice interpreting the melody. 

From there, we got Noel Barrett involved, and he laid down such a cool bass track. His fills throughout are masterful with tasteful touches. Rock-solid time—great ideas! That's Noel.

Next we asked John Mason, a brilliant technical guitarist, to join us, and he did exactly what the track called for—he played rhythm guitar. His tasty picking in the verses created a forward movement that urged the song along, and his strumming of the chords in the chorus acted as a canvas for Christy to paint a melody over. 

Several weeks ago, Sharon Egan, a talented vocalist from Northeast Pennsylvania added some lovely vocal lines in the bridge of the song, which Christy then harmonized over. 

Our last move was to get saxophonist Dan Friedman involved. Dan has played on several of my songs in the past and he always brings with him a unique approach that is soulful and tinged with a jazz sensibility. He knows what to play and for this song he sought out the spaces in such a beautiful way. 

Ultimately, we have a song in which a group of great musicians wove their parts to create a tapestry of sound that provides surprises along the way and moments that you are eager to return to on ensuing listens. 

This was a true collaboration. At no point was there direction from me, except to say, "Do what you do!" And they did!

All My Best,

Lyrics

Bongo Bong

Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start banging my first bongo

Every monkey liked to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

I went to the big town
Where there is a lot of sound
From the jungle to the city
Looking for a bigger crowd

So I play my boogie
For the people of big city
But they don't go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie, I'm the

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo

Nobody like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie

I'm the king without a crown
And get loose in the big town
But I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

They say that I'm a clown
Making too much dirty sound
They say there is no place
For little monkey in this town

Nobody like to be
In my place instead of me
Cause nobody go crazy
When I'm banging on my boogie, I'm the

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

Banging on my bongo
All that swing belongs to me
I'm so happy there's nobody
In my place instead of me

I'm a king without a crown
And get loose in the big town
I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come, baby
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

Mama was queen of the mambo
Papa was king of the Congo
Deep down in the jungle
I start banging my first bongo

Every monkey liked to be
In my place instead of me
Cause I'm the king of bongo, baby
I'm the king of bongo bong

Hear me when I come
Hear me when I come, baby

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come

King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come
King of the bongo, king of the bongo
Hear me when I come
