Another truly inspirational composition, a superbly emotive piano score beautifully played.

Wonderful journey,  thank for letting me know about it

Very beautiful and energetic dear friend, real music  Love it

WOAH on this one. send me all the instrumentals you want. I get lost in all your work. CS5 APPROVED

nice subtle rhythmic interplay between left and right hand throughout the piece

A lovely interplay of quick walks and long chords that paints a rich and masterful soundscape. Thank you, Maestro!

This moody, atmospheric track features a hang drum like sound, a deep bass line, haunting piano chords, and complex layers of synth and percussion. As the track builds to its climax, the synths become more prominent, adding a sense of otherworldliness to the sound. The musicians build tension throughout the track, creating a sense of restrained urgency that is both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant.

PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

LYRICS:

With confidence, it’s easier to be yourself when seeing her
It’s only one emotional experience you’re searching for

You collected tears from all the years you couldn’t bear to speak your mind
Inspect your fears, consult your peers because you’re running out of time

Turn around and walk away
Hold your tongue for one more day

Take a look inside and see how you feel
Determination, an achilles heel
Take a breath and then open the door
Is it everything you’re hoping for?
Take a look outside you’re missing the sun
You could be running around and having fun
Take a moment, contemplate who you are
Assertiveness a giant leap too far?

Oh, are you gonna call her?

Confidence [2022 Rework]

Oh, Jerry lee he drove to town.
He's got his gun he's been around,
and he is not for moving slow.
Oh, he just wants you all to know.
Though he's the king of rock and roll.
He'd trade it all in for his soul. 

Oh, in a mansion sits a king.
It's jerrys crown that he's taking.
He sits there watching Jerry drive.
He sees the gun at Jerry's side.
Don't care what business you are in.
Nobody messes with this king. 

A police car comes up from below.
They see the crash and they just know.
Oh, they see trouble in his eyes,
and they are sure that he is lying.
King sends out creepers and his spies.
Take him away boys he decries. 

A night alone sat in the cells.
The king did not wish Jerry well.
A few months later, ups and dies, 
Jerry just wants us all to mind.
He's the true king of Rock and roll.
Nobody takes away his throne. 

Oh Jerry lee the world don't know.
Who was first guy in the show.
Goodness gracious look at me. 
Great balls of fire in your dreams.
You just wanted us to know,
Who was the king of rock and roll.

Jerry Lee

H.P. Lovecraft´s At The Mountains Of Madness

At times it may seem as though our hearts are made of glass. But even when the floor is littered with shattered pieces of ourselves, we must recognize our own strength and not discard the pieces but through courage and resilience, pick them up and transform what once was fragile into something that can never be broken again.
