Trouble

Grandjany, Rhapsodie

I composed this for the animated film, Two Life. The intention was to emulate the sound of swing bands from the roaring '20s. I recorded it in March 2011 with musicians from the jazz bands at Ball State.

This song is about third-world oppression and first-world violence being overlooked for a materialistic lifestyle. The song is musically influenced by Sting, Paul Simon, John Coltrane, and Mumford & Sons. The lyrics even include a Shakespeare quote.	

LYRICS

                The angels sing
		While nations suffer
		We never stop
		To think about their struggles

		Instead of respect
		They only feel neglect
		How can we keep silent
		Blind to all their troubles

		All rise, all fall
		We’re human after all

		Meant to believe that we’re the best
		Sores of oppression plague the rest
		Caught in obsession from East to West
		We’re lost in the light
		Here’s my confession
		
		Even children die
		For those of self-delusion
		Hear the mothers cry
		Of death and it’s conclusion

		They live in fear
		While we sleep ever soundly
		Our only fear is a
		Casualty of apathy
		
		So wise, so young
		They never live for long

		Meant to believe that we’re the best
		Sores of oppression plague the rest
		Caught in obsession from East to West
		We’re lost in the light
		Here’s my confession

		I am a man. No name, no face, a guilty race
		All by my hands, a hopeless chase, an empty place.
		So I’ll say

		Meant to believe that we’re the best
		Sores of oppression plague the rest
		Caught in obsession from East to West
		We’re lost in the light
		Here’s my confession

My Confession

Kitty Kat Strut

A commercial jingle / voice-over assignment from a few years ago.

Nathan Daywalt - Voice-over, script
Sean Muzzi - Music, script, guitar, piano, bass, foley, mixing

The assignment was to create a 30-second commercial spot for an invented product that was related to hair-restoration. We decided to take a humorous direction.
