The violin and marimba sound great together. Really nice piece.

Two virtuoso performers for sure and a very interesting composition.

Beautiful sound of violin. So emotional and mysterious!

this great quality music. masterful instrument handling.

Robert, you seem to be able to write masterfully for any instrument. I love what you do with the violin especially in this piece. Intricate and compelling

I always find it phenomenal to listen to 6 mallets. (When you going to do 8?) HaHa. The 6-mallet control requires super skill and dexterity... clearly shown here. Very pleasing contrast of tones between the high-pitched, svelte violin and low rich, resonant marimba.... they occupy two completely different aural spaces and so, while being fairly 'busy' melodic lines, never get in the way of each other. You can easily individually focus on one, or the other.... or, the two simultaneously. Likely, that wasn't your intention, but I found myself moving back and forth between individual instruments and the two in unison... just like what they call in graphics - lenticular images - where the viewer can see different images depending upon the angle of viewing. Pardon my meandering - awesome composition!

Love the timbre of the Marimba sound recording, can really hear just the right amount of bass resonance coming through.

My way of celebrating hitting 10k plays, danke

Alone

This track started as a vision of a journey. For me it symbolizes the journey that I have started to reach my inner core. For someone else it may symbolize something else. That is the good thing about art in any form, it is the observer that decides what the art represent for them.

Journey To The Inner Core

Inspired by Die Hard. Eurotrash holding your wife hostage? Japanese megacorp buying up your country? Outdated notions of the sexes? Look no further, There Are Storms has it all. "Dated mind, wrong place and wrong time."

PROGRAM NOTES

The title of this piece reflects the structure: many parts and motives are linked and looped together, forming chains. There are also missing links throughout the piece, spots where notes have been dropped out and placed in other parts of the piece or else lost entirely. The violin part is designed to be a showy and slightly virtuosic, coupled with a solid, ostinato-like marimba counterpart. Both parts utilize flashy, extended techniques.

American composer Robert Paterson is a true New Yorker—born and bred in Buffalo, he lived in Rochester and Ithaca for over ten years, in New York City for over twenty years, and now lives in Saratoga Springs, near the Adirondacks. Paterson’s colorful music embraces a wide variety of themes, everything from goddesses and online dating to mathematics and the environment. His music is filled with emotion and fierce rhythmic energy, marked by elegance, wit, and meticulous craftsmanship. Named Composer of The Year by the Classical Recording Foundation at Carnegie Hall, Paterson is the winner of the Alfred I. DuPont Award, and his opera Three Way won the Grammy® under Best Classical Producer of the Year. His music is often a Best of the Year pick on National Public Radio. His orchestral tone poem, Dark Mountains, regularly airs on NPR’s Performance Today. Three Way premiered with Nashville Opera, then BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), and across the United States. Minnesota Orchestra, Louisville Orchestra, The Oratorio Society of New York, Buffalo Philharmonic, Albany Pro Musica, Albany Symphony, Musica Sacra, Austin Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and ensembles worldwide perform his works. Paterson gives masterclasses at the Curtis Institute of Music, New York University, the Aspen Music Festival, the Cleveland Institute of Music, and more. He is the Artistic Director and house composer for Mostly Modern Projects. Robert is a lifelong vegan and advocates for animals and the environment, celebrating the natural world with ground-breaking works such as his Triple Concerto, A New Eaarth, Listen, and I Go Among Trees.
