thats amazing! i love the movement of the staccatos. great job.

The way this is produced gives off retro vibes. Hmmm, that's not quite right; it specifically is reminiscent of the orchestral pieces that would frequently be in older cartoons. This is very good...I love the inclusion of so many little sounds. This instrumental has amazing movement.

This work is certainly telling stories. Awesome!! 👏👏👏

Electric Lines has the orchestra alive and animated

I work for a utility company in the field of Energy and I know a thing or two about Electric Lines. This depiction by Robert Paterson is really impressive.

This play list does not include Enlightened City, Suite for String Orchestra or A New Eaarth for Orchestra, Chorus and Narrator. These will be added soon.

Uploaded to my computer from a CD, made years ago, of the recording session. A few nights ago I transferred to my Cakewalk recording program. But, the static sound I don’t know how to remove. Anyways sounds like it could use a remix, I think or redo.. like the lead though and the vocals mostly.

PROGRAM NOTES
Vermont is famous for its green mountains, but I often find myself taking long drives through the mountains on overcast days or even at night, when the mountains lose color and become gray silhouettes. Many roads in Vermont are so dark, particularly in the Northeast Kingdom, that you need to use headlights, even during the day. Dark Mountains is meant to portray the beauty and grandeur of the mountains and the peacefulness of the open roads, but also the darkness and occasional treacherous passes one may encounter during the evening hours. The piece is in three connected sections. The first section portrays the calmness and austerity of a quiet evening. The second is inspired by a fast drive down winding country roads, with twists and turns, frequent tempo changes and shifting gears. The final section evokes the feeling of looking at the nighttime sky with moonlight shining through the trees and the sounds of nature in the distance.

This piece is commissioned by and dedicated to the Vermont Symphony Orchestra and Jaime Laredo, and was originally written for the Made in Vermont Music Festival.

PROGRAM NOTES
In past summers I have taken long trips across America from New York to Colorado. Driving along the highways, there are endless fields, infrequently dotted with farms and farm machinery. Contrasting the farmland's somewhat natural splendor, there are thousands of miles of electric lines—ubiquitous and perhaps even unsightly, yet somehow blending in with the scenery.

What I find most dramatic about many of these electric lines—other than their gargantuan size—is the realization that day after day, a dizzying amount of information travels through them and across great distances: billions of pieces of information are packed inside these powerful cables. In Electric Lines, my goal is to take the audience on a sonic roller coaster ride: I want the audience to feel tremendous energy and power and the thrill of instantaneously sending and receiving information at light speed.

Although electric lines inspire this work, there is nothing technically "electrical" about it: there are no synthesizers or electrical instruments used, with the exception of the vibraphone. The electric qualities in many sections are highlighted by tense string trills, long, powerful melodic lines and by giving many of the players energetic, concerto-like parts. I also try to make the melodic lines sound charged and electric by enhancing them with various types of orchestral accents and by pairing different instruments using parallel or almost parallel lines at close intervals.

A few of the sections and transitions in Electric Lines are modeled after the physical characteristics of the cables and power line towers. Many of the musical lines occur in groups of two’s and three’s; some of them dip and swoop like power cables, while others are electric rod straight, but tense and electrified. There are also occasional anvil-accented "power chords" that act as markers to delineate certain sections.

Even though Electric Lines might seem to have industrial underpinnings and allusions to mechanics, I am not trying to align myself with the early twentieth century Italian Futurists: it is more the present than the past that I am thinking of in this work.

PROGRAM NOTES
The first movement, Bright and jubilant, is generally cheerful and upbeat, but occasional clouds of gray cast shadows over the musical surface. I associate this movement with traveling to a lover, and particularly over great distances. The brightness of this movement also subtly reflects the "silver anniversary" occasion for which this work was originally commissioned.

The slow second movement, Serenade, represents the unique intimacy that lovers share. Most string players in a chamber orchestra—even the first stands—never have a chance to play exposed material. This is interesting because although the string sections most often play as homogenous groups, the first stands of the string section are in an arc have an intimate view of each other. In this movement, the first stands of the violins, violas and cellos all have solo material whereas the rest of the strings often play gentle, long trills. My goal in to give all of the string players in the first stands an opportunity to shine.

The third movement, entitled Dancing games, is the most energetic of the three. It is has quirky, dance-like rhythms and a strong sense of pulse. In this movement, I imagine two lovers engaging in a bickering, yet friendly verbal dance match, their playful sentences bantered and volleyed back and forth like some sort of demented game of badminton in fast-forward mode. I suppose this would mean that the kind of dance I am imagining here is not one that you would necessarily move your feet to, but one meant for listening and that makes your insides want to move and shake.

Lyrics:

You're My...

[Verse 1- Intro]
Serenading in my wonderland
Making you feel all I can
Like
You’re my type

Watching you fit in my jeans
Dressing up for Halloween
Like 
You’re my life

[Verse 2]
I get worked up with a song
You help me out where I go wrong
Cause
You’re my tune

I’ve picked the kids up from the school
But you’ll be late, after noon
I’ll
Wait for you

[Pre-Chorus]
We wait till they’re fast asleep
I play this song then kiss you back
We dance to the aftertaste
I love you more but I underact

[Chorus]
But I’ve been wasting every moment
Cause I’ve been running out of breath
For I feel we are almost ready to be
Taking every single step
Together

[Verse 3]
You’re a treasure, you’re a prize
Every day is a surprise
Cause
You’re still mine

Let the kids say that we’re old
I think you’re so damn beautiful
Babe
All the time

[Pre-Chorus]
We wait till they’re fast asleep
I play this song then kiss you back
We dance to the aftertaste
I love you more but I underact

[Chorus]
And I’ve been wasting every moment
Cause I’ve been running out of breath
For I feel that our journey’s almost over
And we’ve taken every single step
Together (Together)

[Bridge]
I was waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Baby
And you were waiting for me
Waiting for me
Waiting for me
Daily

[Chorus]
I’ve been wasting every second (I was waiting for you, waiting for you)
Cause I have taken all the steps (Waiting for you, baby)
And I think that we’re almost ready to be (And you were waiting for me, waiting for me)
Losing every single breath (Waiting for me, daily)
Together

[Verse Outro]
And baby now that we are ghosts
I bet everybody knows
You’re
Always mine
