As with all of the other tracks, the words are a combination of real words and gibberish words generated by reCAPTCHA, the online puzzle designed to prove whether you are human or not. There are program notes below that describe the piece as well. Thanks for listening!

Love the mood of the opening and those chords in the piano. It's funny how it's somber and then glorious at times, quite schizo in a really good way!

this takes me to wonderland it would be a good song for a movie

PROGRAM NOTES
CAPTCHA originated with an assignment I was given as a participant in the American Opera Projects (AOP) Composers & The Voice program. Throughout the year, we wrote a variety of arias and songs and were given various "challenges." Some of the challenges included using no more than four lines of text, using found text, using prose, and also trying to avoid the passagio (a term used in classical singing to describe where different voice ranges cross over, for example, where the chest voice and head voice cross). I neglected to incorporate any of the challenges into previous pieces, and I only had one song or aria left, so I had to incorporate all of the remaining challenges into a single piece.

For found text, I decided to use CAPTCHA texts. The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University. A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that only humans can pass. For example, humans can read distorted text presented as a graphic, but current computer programs cannot. To find interesting words and phrases, I spent many tedious hours in front of my computer loading CAPTCHA texts. Actually, what I ended using are reCAPTCHA texts, which are derived from a free version of CAPTCHA that uses combinations of real words from scanned books that need human confirmation and gibberish text.

I initially wrote one song entitled CAPTCHA, but later decided to compose an entire song cycle that incorporates the original song. Each songs uses a few key words (the few that are actually real words and phrases) as a springboard. I attempt to phonetically interpret the other words and phrases that don’t make sense, infusing emotion where none exists. Ultimately, my goal is to create an emotionally moving experience, despite the nonsensical nature of the words.

PROGRAM NOTES
All of the movements of this wind quintet are connected and inspired in some way by American icons, surrealism, collage, post-1950s imagery and suburbia.

The first movement, Andante, begins with the ending and ends at the beginning. Some instruments mimic others and just when you think an idea might go in one direction, it goes in another. I gleaned many of my ideas from studying cinematic character development and the unusual forms used in many modern films such as the 1994 film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino.

The second movement, Suburban waltz-fantasy, contains quotes from 1960s-70s TV show themes: The Jetsons, All in the Family, Green Acres, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch and Leave It To Beaver. The movement begins with a waltz-like feel and two of the players mimicking “suburban chicken lady housewives cackle-gossiping across a backyard fence.” An obnoxious stray dog interjects with loud barking and then the movement takes off in a different direction. Some of the quotes are re-composed to sound like bird songs, others are textural and a few are so subtle that they are not easy to discern. Some of the parts even sound like they are mocking each other. This movement is a strange, surrealist collage.

The most immediate and obvious reference in the title of the third movement, Melting Clocks, is to Salvador Dali’s famous 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory in which there are images of melting or limp watches. I imagine a room full of clocks all ticking away, yet slightly inaccurately, the “baby clocks” a little faster than the “old grandfather clocks.” The middle section contains a few brief quotes form the first movement, and the “slightly melted” end of the movement brings back the cuckoo, but this time it melts as if it is in a house consumed by fire.

The fourth movement, Klezmeshugeh, derives its title from my combining the words ‘klezmer’—which is a combination of the two Hebrew words, kley and zemer, meaning ‘instrument of song’—and meshugeh, which is a Yiddish word meaning ‘crazy’. Essentially, this made-up title means “crazy instrument song.” In this movement, there are a few “wrong notes” that allude to the players pretending to sight-read. The end also concludes with a few thematic fragments from the second movement.

Don’t Wake me up, until I’m sober
Don’t wanna deal with my hangover
I got too punch drunk, I hurt my head
Someone please help me find my bed
Sorry ‘bout the things I might have said
I forgot to take my meds
Well I guess that’s it
That’s what I get
Got nothing left
So meh
Whatever
Tried my best
I’m just depressed
And it’s not getting any better
All the stress
I second guess
Can’t keep my shit together 
Ima fucking mess
No disrespect
Let’s just talk about the weather
Don’t Wake me up, I’m still not sober
Don’t wanna deal with this hangover
Working out the things I’ve said
Words I shoulda used instead
I’m just a useless college kid
Kinda dumb and underfed

Lyrics Crazy

Dicen que estoy loco 
Porque digo lo que pienso estoy loco 
Porque visto diferente estoy loco 
Porque busco libertad estoy loco
Crazy
Dicen que estoy loco 
Porque los precios ya me están volviendo loco 
Porque el silencio ya me está volviendo loco 
Y todo el mundo aquí y todo el mundo 
Andamos Crazy 
Andamos crazy 
Andamos crazy ye ye ye
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Crazy crazy 
En la mente tenemos una crisis 
Los profetas de allá arriba están viviendo en un Edén y aquí abajo la jugada esta difícil 
Crazy crazy 
El arte de nosotros es la terapia 
Estamos con la lengua afuera arriba de la candela haciendo magia 
Más estrategias que ochimin 
Voy pa la calle y busco mi norte 
Cada día aquí es un ring
Donde la gente lucha su cobre 
Y no se sabe na de na 
Y to con to te resuelve 
Traficando luces  ametrallame 
Que la mecánica está fuerte 
Andamos crazy 
Andamos crazy 
Andamos crazy ye ye ye
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Crazy crazy 
Conectados en los parques 
Mucho WiFi mucho datos es muy easy conectarse y en el freeze no veo rastro de carne 
De esta locura no hay quien se salve 
Por eso fuma y vive a tu aire 
Estamos adaptados a vivir buscando la felicidad como Chris Gardner
Y te come el estrés cada mes no lo ves la pirámide esta al revés 
El paraíso que hablan todos los profetas no es el que pisan tus pies 
No hay explicación para tu vida sin salida ve y camina mira la mentira todo es un teatro 
Estamos locos con miedo y no prendemos el fuego vivimos como los ciegos en la caverna de Platón 
No somos las fichas y la cosecha de este nicho ve y despierta con tu lucha desde el pecho babylon
Hijos de la penuria que viven en el abismo se esconden en el delirio a la sombra de una canción 
Andamos crazy 
Andamos crazy 
Andamos crazy ye ye ye
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Andamos crazy crazy crazy 
Dispara 
Come on come on 
1 2 3 
Song funky
Crazy
Tu lo que quieres es funky baby

Lyrics 

V1 

Escapes been found, the exits near 
air smells of a dark atmosphere 
Hunter turned to prey, tables turned around 
Time to head back underground 

V2 

dark outside , things don’t feel right 
Uncertainty prevailing, holding tight 
worry turns to panic, stars shining bright 
I didn’t think theyd find me tonight 

A slither of light, morning sunrise 
Clinging to a hope, burning inside 
Joy turned despair, blink of an eye 


Chorus 2 

Run........... 
Run get out of here go 

They’re coming for you now
