This one has some whacky production elements. A lot happens in 1 minute of music—maybe too much, but I like it.

High Wire Act  (One Minute Song #15)

Original "Enya style" song about the imperativeness of honesty in all we say and do.

True Friend

Is it kind to tell a lie when a friend needs the truth?
What is kind from fellow minds true friends all have to choose
Saying words without meaning will not help a friend
Speak the truth, mean the truth and it will set you free

Choices made can make us slaves gravity starts to pull
Causing minds and hearts to ache changing wise into fools
Tell the truth, speak the truth, honesty will supply 
 Second chance, stable hands, and it all starts with you

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Speak your mind leave doubt behind
Courage will free the lost
Do what right to warn a friend
Never mind what the cost

Speak the truth
Live the truth
And it will set you free
Truest love never shirks
Truth is all that can be

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Speak the truth
Live the truth
And it will set you free

Never lie to a friend
Just to spare them torment
If you choose to be silent
You'll fall in the end

Great book about honesty:

This track, with the building strings, feels cinematic.

LYRICS:
It was Indian summer
I was fearing the fall
Of everything related
To anything at all

Change was coming
The shifting air
That fought the stillness
In summer’s last glare

I held onto that
The last sip of water
If I drank it was gone
But it was gone no matter

So I drank it in
The poison nectar
One last thrill
Of late September

Indian Summer (One Minute song #18)

Some time ago, I got it into my head that I should be able to improvise contrapuntally—like J.S. Bach, but in a modern musical language.

I’m still working on it and am undoubtedly better at it than in 2010. Still, there is something about one’s musical past that I am reminded of when I listen to these improvisations 14 years after the fact:  It’s not simply that you grow as a person and artist, but that you become a different person and artist, though still based on the original!

So when I listen to these, I’m hearing something that I wouldn’t do today and couldn’t. I’m not that artist/person anymore!

But I appreciate what that iteration of Peter Saltzman was striving for.

These are all very reflective, if not abstract. So, for those of you who have been listening to my more “accessible” music, perhaps you’ll find these improvisations more challenging. They are still highly melodic and lyrical, a hallmark of my style. But damn, they sure are moody! (But, hey, they are short!)

This one is jazz, a la my favorite pianist, McCoy Tyner.  Not the lyrics, though...

Lyrics:
She keeps lightening in a box
That sits on her dresser
Thunder in the closet
Under some sweaters

She takes a shower
To wash off her troubles
Dries her hair by the fan
To inflate the bubble

She keeps lightening in a box
She keeps lightening in a box

Lightning In A Box (one minute song #13)

Improvising on Bach? Yes, why not? What I do here is take the first prelude in his Well-Tempered Clavier and play what is meant to be played in two hands in my left hand. Then, I improvise over it in my right.

This comes from my album - Blues, Preludes, Feuds: https://songwhip.com/petersaltzman/blues-preludes-and-feuds-14

There are three other examples on that album of me messing with Bach.

Long story short: everything from solo piano to pop to orchestral film.  I wish I could focus on one thing but can't because I'm a MUSICIAN.
