Wow. This you on vocals, Michael? I had no idea you could sing too. And they're really, REALLY good. o.O

I love this song, but I have to admit... I'm stunned how different it is from BFR songs. Are the two projects unique to certain styles, or do they both expand into wherever you feel like taking them? Regardless, this is fantastic glam. :)

Ukulele, guitar and vocals. Written, arranged and performed by 11 year old artist Noelle.

For this composition, I am using the Ukranian Dorian scale. In music, the Romanian minor scale or Ukrainian Dorian scale or altered Dorian scale is a musical scale or the fourth mode of the harmonic minor scale. It is "similar to the dorian mode, but with a tritone and variable sixth and seventh degrees". It is related to both the Freygish and Misheberak scales and is used in Jewish music, "predominant in klezmer bulgarish and doina (doyne).When the Ukrainian Dorian scale functions in the synagogue, it is a mode known as the Mi sheberach (May He Who Blessed) or Av horachamon (Compassionate Father). Arab and Greek scholars give other names to the scale: Nikriz (نكريز) and Aulos, respectively."

"The pitches of the Mi Shebeyrekh [cantorial] mode correspond roughly to a Dorian mode with a raised fourth (for example, D, E, F, G♯, A, B, C, or if Katythian Enharmonic mode of Harmonic Minor ♭4:D♭, E, F, G♯, A, B, C); alternately, it could be described as a variant of the Lydian mode, deriving instead from the harmonic minor scale, rather than from the major scale. Beregovski calls this pitch collection 'Ukrainian Dorian'."

The Ukrainian Dorian scale is used particularly extensively within Julian Cochran's music including the Romanian Dances and Mazurkas.[5] It has also been used by George Gershwin. Another example is the Bert Kaempfert tune "Sweet Maria".

Also called the Ukrainian minor scale, it is a combined type of musical scale.[citation needed] It figures prominently in Eastern European music, particularly Klezmer music, and melodies based on this scale have an exotic, romantic flavor for listeners accustomed to more typical Western scales.

A Ukrainian minor scale in the key of C would proceed as follows: C D E♭ F♯ G A B♭.
A Ukrainian minor scale in the key of B would proceed as follows: B C♯ D E♯ F♯ G♯ A.
Its step pattern is w - h - + - h - w - h - w, where w indicates a whole step, h indicates a half step, and + indicates an augmented second, which looks like a minor third on a keyboard but is notationally distinct.

Chords that may be derived from the scale based on B are Bm, C#7, D, E#dim7, F#m, G#m7b5 and Aaug. This scale is obtainable from the harmonic minor scale by starting from the fourth of that scale. Said another way, the B Ukrainian minor scale is the fourth mode of the F# harmonic minor scale. When its tonic is lowered a semitone, we obtain the Katythian Enharmonic scale, the 4th mode of the Harmonic Minor ♭4 scale:B♭ C♯ D E♯ F♯ G♯ A/C♭ D E♭ F♯ G A B♭/C D♯ E Fdouble sharp G♯ A♯ B. Chords that may be derived from the Katythian Enharmonic scale based on B♭ are Bbaug, C#6, D, Bb7, F#m, F#, Bbm, G#7sus2b5 and Aaug. Likewise, Chords that may be derived from the Katythian Enharmonic scale based on C♭ are Cbaug, D6, Eb, Cb7, Gm, G, Cbm, A7sus2b5, and Bbaug, and for the one based on C♮:Caug, D#6, E, C7, G#m, G#, Cm, A#7sus2b5, and Baug.

Only If...

     Practically swimming in music as a child, Michael Ferentino had already released two independent albums by the time he reached high school. Teaming up with Andres Karu, Michael was lead singer, guitarist, and principle songwriter for Love In Reverse, an electronic rock act that signed a deal with Warner/Reprise. The two subsequent albums, “I Was Here,” produced by Grammy award winner Russ Titelmann, and the self-produced “Words Become Worms” were both critically successful and allowed the band to join some more high-profile tours such as Republica, Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills, and Ian Astbury (the Cult). In 1998, Michael joined up with Andres again to form Amazing Meet Project, which caught the attention of Clerks director Kevin Smith, in turn leading to score work for the film “A Better Place” in early 2001. Later that year, Michael embarked on a solo career, more acoustic in direction, and toured North America and the U.K. with Miles Hunt, lead singer for the legendary British pop band, the Wonder Stuff. During this period, he released two albums of his “stripped-down-to-Earth” material. In 2003, he switched gears and recorded several independent experimental music recordings under the moniker Bedtime for Robots, an excursion into the dark depths of ambient noise. Inspired by films, noise, and neuroscience, Bedtime for Robots has been oddly self-described as David Lynch wrestling with Brian Eno and the members of Kraftwerk while nearby, little Alice daydreams of her simple life milking cows on the farm before she fell deep, deep down into the rabbit’s hole…and awoke to the sounds of scratchy old children’s records bleeding out creepy little noisescapes. Check out the Bedtime for Robots Soundcloud profile as well.
