THE FACE OF ANGER

We live in times of turmoil where the face of anger rears it’s ugly head…

This very loud track came out of frustration for the shape of the the World today: crisis upon crisis, polarization in society and politics, the war in Ukraine, Iran’s tyranny towards it’s people… and very personal pain and anger for what my loved ones have to face…

This one is my catharsis against those things…

Small 2023 Edit of A piano piece of mine from 2019. Now piano is ran through a better reverb, among some other minute edits to some notes, and dynamics on places where the original unedited performance did not suffice.

EMERGENCE - Not your everyday tune!
For those that follow my work as a musician, please read my following notes. 
I would greatly appreciate your interest in my story regarding this particular musical work… an unusual track titled “EMERGENCE”.  
I am happy to share this to the world, and hoping you give it a good listen. But, my hope is you read my story beforehand.

It’s been almost 2 years since I had the ability to do anything like this project. I’ll explain more about this “temporary disability” of mine further along in my story.

As it turns out, at this point in time, the meaning or representation regarding the title (Emergence) can be thought of in more than one way.  Each of them, all seem to fit this composition appropriately. 

Initially, when I conceived of this unusual musical concept, I quickly realized that the musical arrangement evoked in my imagination the process of the natural world emerging out of dormancy into the Spring season. 
This is why, from the very beginning stages of developing this track, I decided on the title “Emergence”.
Listening to this composition, it becomes apparent there are THREE MAIN SECTIONS, which for me signify the natural process of life emerging in the spring. 

The FIRST SECTION is the AWAKENING… 
the initial, and almost always hidden, life forces stirring up. 

The SECOND SECTION is the STIMULUS… 
the longer days of life supporting sunlight, warmth, and rain. 

The THIRD SECTION is the BLOOMING… 
the period of vigorous and powerful growth, 
which also is the springtime we enjoy so much in all it’s glory.

I hope all that listen to my track will pick up on these features!

Regarding my “temporary disability” > As of this month May 2020, it’s been almost exactly one and a 1/2 years since I suffered from a nasty ACCIDENT (while woodworking using a joiner machine on Nov. 6, 2018), in which I severely cut up the ends of my second and third fingers on my left hand. This event stopped me from simply touching my guitar (let alone really playing it) for 5 months. In my entire life playing guitar, I have never in all that time spent more than 2 weeks away from my guitar. So, this accident was quite devastating. 
It took almost another 1/2 year just to get back in a condition where I felt comfortable to simply jam with some of my close friends.  I was extremely lucky to not have my two fingers entirely cut off from this accident.  I am grateful that currently I rarely notice any discomfort from the wounds, which to this day are still in the healing process.  So for me, the release of this track, also represents my very own EMERGENCE!  I’m hoping this will mark the beginning of a more musically productive time for me.

AND FINALLY, with the worldwide pandemic taking on a considerable toll regarding so many aspects of our lives these days, I can’t help but think of the meaning of the word EMERGENCE in the context of looking into the near future as the entire world eases back to a state of normalcy (we can only hope).  But also, just perhaps, the world may come out of this whole thing with a better understanding, and greater appreciation, for the things that are really important and meaningful in life. The EMERGENCE of great enlightenment!
