12 - By Faith

An evening in Tokyo

Canción que pertenece al nuevo material de Nautilus.

NO MORE FEAR
I walk the night again
Wonder where the love
Has gone away...

No matter what happens now
The voice inside you
Will show you the path

Don' t you forget
The light
The power that s
Inside your heart....

Theres no more pain
Theres no more fear
Trust in your soul
Believe you heart
In every beat
You will rise again

I every sense you have
Your insticts will guile yoy through the dark

No more fear

Just an improvisation with three Spitfire LABS Instruments, RAUM reverb and a calm mind. 
Didn't do that much mixing or any of that technical jazz, just the essentials if you will, so it could definitely be better but I don't care.
It was just an impro, and I didn't plan on releasing it, but then I wanted to and made a cover and I loved the combination of music, visual presentation and intention - so there ya go :P
I hope you like this little dream, and I hope to release more of those more simplistic ideas, cause there are lots and them going to waste would be a shame :/
Have a great day or night, 
Cedric over and out.

PROGRAM NOTE
Relative Theory is a four-movement, ca. 12 minute work for flute (doubling piccolo), oboe (doubling English horn), clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), and piano. Each movement is inspired by a mathematician or theoretical physicist. I was inspired by a story that the commissioning ensemble, the Exponential Ensemble, told me about how much they enjoy performing programs for children that relate math to music. In a fun, yet hopefully meaningful way, the movements of my piece are designed to draw parallels between these two distinct, but interrelated worlds.

The title Relative Theory is a play on words: it loosely refers to Albert Einstein’s famous Special Theory of Relativity, but also to musical theories and theoretical principals that are used between each of the movements. All of these movements are inspired by mathematicians or theoretical physicists, and their theorems and theories inspire the music itself.

In Pascal’s Triangle, triads and intervallic content are structured so as to use binomial coefficients in musical ways. In Noether’s Theorem, the music mirrors her theorem, which states that every differentiable symmetry of the action of a physical system has a corresponding conservation law. Einstein’s Daydream, perhaps the most fanciful movement, quotes a few themes from Beethoven, J.S. Bach and Mozart, three composers who’s music Einstein loved to play on his violin. The work ends with a movement entitled The Hammers of Pythagoras, inspired by a legendary, apocryphal but nevertheless playful tale of Pythagoras passing by a blacksmith at work one day, and discovering that musical notes could be translated into mathematical equations.

There are some fascinating programmatic relations that dictate how thematic materials are used in various movements. Albert Einstein thought very highly of Emmy Noether, a mathematician who never achieved the fame she deserved because she was female. In fact, some of her theories inspired Einstein. Therefore, some of the themes in the second movement are used in the third. Einstein and Pythagoras both figure prominently in music history, albeit for different reasons, so themes from each of these movements permeate back and forth.

Relative Theory was commissioned by the Exponential Ensemble, with funding from the New York State Council on The Arts (NYSCA).

SINK OR SWIM

take all the time
you need
to get by

you know that sometimes
just breathe
it’s alright…

take all those books
and throw them away
you know every rule
was meant to be overruled someday….

till you see that way you won’t feel that way
till you feel that way you won’t be that way

you know there are some fools
stealing cues
what to do, what to choose

when it comes down to you
make your to do
got nothing to lose...

take all all those lists
and hurl them away
crossing some lines
was meant to be overlooked someday…
until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  
until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim

oh yeah…
til you jump right in
oh yeah…
gotta jump right in…

take all those charts
and chuck them away…
cos being the odd one out
was always gonna pay some day…

until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  
until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim

take all the space 
that you need
to fly….

don’t worry about me
I’ll be here
watching the sky…

take all those books
and hurl them away
you know every rule
was meant to be overturned someday….

until you see that way you won’t feel that way
until you feel that way you won’t be that way…  

until you jump right in
you won’t sink or swim

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.
