Solo Piano - Chris Bright

Castor and Pollux 0611 - 6:11:22, 7.36 PM

Part of a new album I've been uploading, featuring compositions written over the last several months of 2021. If anyone can pinpoint what all of these compositions have in common, musically-speaking, put it in the comments - there was a concept tying everything together but I'm not going to reveal what it was unless if someone figures it out on their own, haha.

Cover art created using NeuralBlender.

This album is going to be called "Prohibited Topics," a tribute to the textbook authors and teachers whose work is being disrupted by right wing efforts to stifle education about racial disparity and structural racism in the US.

I watch from the window as the storm breaks, hmm hmm,
let yourself out, before it's too late,
how to exit from yourself?

deep thunder strikes where the thought aches,
hmmm, hmmm, too long,
let yourself out, before it's too late,
let yourself out,
how, to exit from yourself?

you hear the thunder, you see the lightning.
i sit in a chair. too long.
Hmm hmmm hmmm too long

Too Long

The count-in misses. The groove doesn’t.
Count It In Wrong starts off crooked on purpose, then snaps into a pocket that shouldn’t work but absolutely does. Punchy live drums land slightly sideways, the bass shows up late and locks in hard, and everything moves with a confident refusal to behave.

This is a track about trusting feel over rules. It trips first, recovers fast, and spends the rest of the runtime daring the clock to argue back.

If it sounds like it’s ahead of you, good. Catch up.
