I feel like I'm the one in the back seat - I don't have a driver's license... but I'm part of the fun.

Really well constructed and produced piece of music. Top notch, with a lot of depth a richness of sound.  A true gem of musical expression. Excellent musicianship, production, mixing, and an overall audio delight!

Such a pleasure to record another track with the great Todd McLean.

(V1)
Hand in hand, beneath the piney green
Sunlight and truth, peeking through the trees
Rain-softened earth smells like something is growing
You let go of my hand and you drift away
(V2)
A blanket of snow covers the city’s sharp edges below us
It’s the kind of day, that makes you think about your life
Northern light shines in your eyes
You drop your head and miss
whoever you’re missing
(C1)
You’re acting a part and playing pretend
It can’t be sustained, we’re reaching our end
You think I don’t notice, but I see it all
You’re walking a wire,
I’m waiting to fall, down
(V3)
We used to care what the other one thought
But I can see now, the store is closed
Making up reasons, not to be around
While my obligations have me
Tethered to this ground
(V4)
To avoid reality, you busy yourself
You never look me in the eye anymore
Too afraid to cut me loose,
but I know that’s what you want
(C2)
You’re acting a part and playing pretend
It can’t be sustained, we’re reaching our end
You think I don’t notice, but I see it all
You’re walking a wire,
I’m waiting to fall, down

Down    -    Todd J McLean & Noobly

Full band collaboration/cover of the classic Bob Dylan tune "When I Paint My Masterpiece". This wonderful tune has been covered by a myriad of artists, including most notably The Band and The Grateful Dead. I had a basic skeleton arrangement in mind that I wanted to flesh out (kind of more Grateful Dead style), so I turned to my  international partners in crime to make it happen: Mario (Italy)- Guitars; Fiz (Italy)- Sax; Fabian (Argentina)- Bass; Craig (US)- Drums. I'm on Vocals, keys, and mix. Definitely had a jammin' good time!

Rhythm Fun (Remix)

“Labyrinthine - for Violin and Piano" was completed in August 2025 in Fairview, TX. Performance time is about 16 minutes. Printed and electronic copies of the score and parts will be available soon from www.CreativeSpiritOnline.com. The work is in one movement.

About this recording:
The engraving and virtual recording were produced using Dorico Pro 6. For the best listening experience, high quality headphones are recommended. This recording was mastered by EMastered.

Performance notes:
• Tempo, expression, and dynamic markings should be strictly observed.
• There is no key signature. Accidentals apply to the end of the measure or to the note or notes tied over the measure, and only to notes of the same pitch class, in the same octave.
• Hairpin pairs indicate a temporary volume change of one dynamic level.

The meaning of "labyrinthine" in this work:
•    Complex structure:  The term "labyrinthine" is used to describe compositions that have a complex, intricate, and difficult-to-follow structure, like a maze.
•   Intricate harmony:  Some pieces labeled "labyrinthine" feature dense harmonic systems that can be challenging for the performer to learn and understand.
•   Sense of searching:  The term can also describe a piece that creates a feeling of searching or wandering, as the music seems to pursue an elusive goal.
•   Resolution:  Despite the initial complexity, these sonatas often have a sense of logical development that eventually leads to a resolution or a clear conclusion.
