Very nice, I like the up and down feel of the piano.

Really nice piano and singing. Excellent musicianship through out.

another great upload the final few seconds of vocals cut deep and linger.

Awesome piece, as usual!! Great Job Robert!!

Very interesting how the phone number is at the most dramatic part of the piece.

I love this dark, macabre waltz. Your writing for the piano is really fantastic!

Ushhh me disfrute mucho esta cancion, subele subele

These keys are sick in a very awesome way. keep it up 🔥🔥🔥

A lot of minims that follow each other in this track. I like it!

This sounds pretty intense and emotional in a way. I love the expressions and bursts of emotions in this track. Great work! ✨

A song about a douchebag. A few days after finishing this one, we realised we'd also accidentally written a Bond theme..

LYRICS:

Your gun
Loaded with ambition and it’s catching the light of the sun
Warm metal at the end of your arm
Trigger happy and intent to alarm for fun
Your gun

Cool dude flexing there
Over-ambitious hair
Rude, grey shrivelled face
Expects me to know my place
Dirty glance, I’m just her inconvenience

Push the suffering from your personal view
It ain’t real if it can’t happen to you
It ain’t real if you can’t pull out your gun

Easy lives breed sleeping minds
Never met a person you can’t despise
Too incurious to empathise
Easy lives breed sleeping minds

And now for a bit of a rest, this track settles into a calmer more reflective state while Andrea's guitar lays soulful intertwining accents on the bed Rebecca made.

PROGRAM NOTES
My initial inspiration for The Book of Goddesses, and the source of the title, is the beautiful, lavishly illustrated book of the same name by Kris Waldherr, a Brooklyn based author, illustrator, designer and cellist. Waldherr’s book contains descriptions and images of hundreds of female deities from around the world, some featured more prominently than others. Rather than focus on goddesses in one particular culture, I highlight a few that seem to evoke something musical, dance-related or sensual. The cultures, countries and continents I draw on for musical material and styles are India, China, Greece, Ireland, North America, Nigeria and Cuba.

The flute and harp parts in each movement are often inspired by similar instruments found in each culture. For example, the harp part in Xi Wang Mu is inspired by the Konghou, and ancient Chinese harp, and the solo bass flute movement, Estanatlehi, is inspired by the sound of a Native American flute. Percussion instruments provide an earthiness, at least with regard to timbre, and each of the trio movements uses instruments that are not common in Western music, including an Indian Gatam, a Middle-Eastern Dumbek, an Afro-Cuban Cajón and the Udu drum, an instrument traditionally played by Nigerian women.

In order to achieve the right feel for each movement, I use non-Western scales, rhythms and other elements, and I occasionally appropriate patterns and other material from pre-existing music. My goal is to merge some of the qualities of traditional music with my own sensibility, and then filter it through flute, harp and percussion.

Many goddesses are associated with dance, certain colors or creativity in general, and with that in mind, I imagine The Book of Goddesses being performed live with choreographed dance. It may be presented in its entirety, although subsets—such as all of the movements for flute and harp—or single movements may also be extracted and performed.

The Book of Goddesses was commissioned by MAYA with funding provided by the New York State Council on The Arts.

PROGRAM NOTES
The text for Thursday was conceived and written by two close friends, Bridget Meeds and Kenny Berkowitz, both excellent writers who possess an acute and often exquisitely wry sense of humor. Each movement attempts to paint a literary picture of the central character by introducing various people who are related to her. The work has six short movements, each one representing a different character.

Starry skies is slow paced Indie Pop song.
It was originally  written as an acoustic guitar track and played/ preformed with some light drums and beatbox.
In  post production we added new layers of strings and synths.
The light drums made way for deep and tribe like precussion.

Christopher Ladoix - Starry Skies

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.
