BPM: 114

This instrumental is based on the sound of multiple tracks of Strats, synths  and electric bass.
It sounds a lot like a song of the eighties for the keyboards chords and the palm muted guitar parts.
The drums are programmed and they are based on the Downbeat Kit available for AKAI MPC here https://www.mpc-samples.com/product.php/291/the-downbeat-kit/. The drums are based on round robin samples which give to the patterns a natural feel.

The instrumental is available for sale on beatstars.com\gamandello or you can enjoy the full track on:

The track has been recorded, mixed and mastered on AKAI MPC Live and software.

Black Friday

Verse 1
Sally was a looker, the angel of night
Walking the streets, under street lights
Sally was my lover, since we were young
But now we’re done and apart

Verse 2
Got my education, I moved away
We grew apart, nothing to say
She found the thrill of getting so high
Much as I try she won’t stop

Prechorus
And she has this man
With his scar and his spray painted tan
I want to reach out to her
But he guards her like she is his own

 
Chorus
Sally would you come, would you run away
There’s a better life beyond these hills
In you there is that girl
The one I knew when I was your man
And in time you will shed off this skin
And we’ll make it to the promised land

Middle
On and on we go, on and on we must move forward
On and on we go now baby, ah ah ah

Prechorus
One night I faced her man
And he blocked the door and pulled out a gun
She was bruised and crying
And I knew that I would fight for her life

Verse
Sally was my lover, my childhood friend
I’ll stay with her till the end
I rush towards him, screaming with rage
You’ll never know how this ends

PROGRAM NOTES
The word ‘pyro' has a few different meanings. It can denote fire, heat, or temperature, but the meaning that most inspired this piece comes from the word 'pyromaniac', which is used to describe someone who has a compulsion to set things on fire. In particular, I was most influenced by a by a surreal, somewhat grotesque artwork by David Lynch called Boy Lights Fire (2010), in which a boy holds a book of matches in his left hand and a lit match in his right hand, while someone (perhaps his mother) appears in the distance, arms stretched out, seemingly in shock. I imagined the boy lighting their house on fire, and the house gradually burning to the ground. Pyro was commissioned by Michael Barnes.

Shorter Days Ahead

One of a kind 

See that girl dancing in the street
High heels on she don’t miss a beat
Reel’s em in, and got her hooks in me
But aint nobody ride for free

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Dripping honey, yeah she so damn sweet
Gotta get in line if you wanna piece 
Just a taste, she sinks in her teeth
That goddamn girl is the end of me

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Sweet like candy, blow your mind 
<Yayo baby>
Keep you humming all the time 
<Yayo honey>
Stand you up and lay you down 
<All right all right> 
Put you six feet in the ground

She said, Hey there honey, come on baby gimme all of your money
Said, hey there sugar, get on, let’s have the time of your life
And I know, can’t help myself
That girl is one of a kind, one of kind

Never Tear Us Apart (live cover)

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.
