Really amusing notes and so great playing.

what a deep and soft short piece _ nice !

This is wonderful Robert, I love the humour and nuance 👏

Really enjoying this quirky waltz feeling. I could see some really fun choreography going along with this.

Beautiful littttle piece, like a contemporary Mazurka :)

Great mixture of jazz and classical modes, chord progressions and innovative melodic intervals. This is music which perfectly fits in  soundtracks of movies as well.

Lyrics:

Lion-hearted kids
Ripping cigarettes
On a rooftop in the city

Hanging with out legs
Dangling off the edge
Just happy that you're with me

You don't know how much I love you
But you mean the world to me

And I'm feeling awful paranoid
Getting ready to say

What's your plans for the future, man?
I don't think that I'm gonna stay

Tried to hide that look upon your face
We're glad you're trying a change

I said let's save it for another day,
Tonight we drink goodbye away

You don't know how much I love you
But you mean the world to me x 2

The World

Fractures

This is a song about parents, teachers, work mangers and leaders all messing with your head and making you feel inferior when they have got no more of a clue than you'll ever have; so feck it and go with your gut, so long as it isn't hurting anyone :) That's what I say anyway. I've had a lot of practice and experience; but still, what the hell do I know eh? :)

PROGRAM NOTES
Journey into Courage is a documentary directed by Bess O'Brien about domestic violence in rural Vermont. It was originally a touring stage production with a cast of women from rural Vermont who were victims of domestic violence. The documentary is largely made up of footage shot during the tour as well as interviews of the women in the stage production.

Journey into Courage Suite is derived from the soundtrack for the documentary and is intended to be performed on stage as a suite for eight musicians. The performing ensemble can choose which versions (if there are multiple ones) of each piece it will perform. The short version, e.g. without repeats, may be performed if a shorter suite is desired.

A Song With You (RadioHouten & Nightpost)

A rabbit hops around near the mountain. The song tries to express the excitement of a rabbit throughout. It slowly grows more complex as the rabbit decides to climb a little up the mountain and venture out.
