Lovely soundtrack work with sparse composition in a good way.

PROGRAM NOTE (SHORT VERSION FOR PROGRAMS)
The first movement, Adagio – allegro con uno trotto – adagio begins and ends in a somewhat Romantic style, but with a twist: the end of the movement sounds like a record scratch, as if what you just heard is a track from an old vinyl LP. I became fascinated with the sound of record scratches when I noticed them in many commercials, although this is somewhat ironic since no one really plays records anymore.

The imaginary title of the second movement, Schizando (derived from ‘schizophrenia’) is a word I came up with to describe a musical style centered on fast, abrupt changes. This movement also reveals an obsession with sequences: sequence-like chord patterns decay by gradually becoming more dissonant as they evolve. These sequential sections alternate with “siesta daydream” sections, akin to channel surfing with a remote control. I was recently on the road for two months with my wife Victoria while she was touring, so on a personal level, traveling on the road to a different hotel every week probably influenced how I wrote this movement. We were never in the same place for very long and many of the hotels looked the same. Our lives were not that dramatic. I started craving drama, particularly in the music I listened to, and this probably spilled over into how I wrote this movement.

The third movement, Largo is slow and broad and inspired by the phrase "the weight of the past." There are time markers that delineate certain sections, reminiscent of the ticking of a clock. There are a number of composers whose works influenced me in this movement, such as the later works of Arvo Pärt and the slow movements of some of Beethoven’s sonatas. I was also pre-occupied with wanting to write a movement that contained mostly “open” notes, i.e. half notes, whole notes and double whole notes.

My main influences for the last movement, Allegro con moto are the early formal ideas of Igor Stravinsky, folk-style fiddle playing and jazz. There are a few false starts when piano chords come crashing down and a few somewhat humorous sections. Many of the themes from the previous three movements reappear in this movement.

As with many of my earlier works, my goal was to create a four-movement work in which all of the movements are quite different from each other. In a sense, I view this multi-stylistic approach as the result of wanting to embrace a variety of tools. As a result, as I wrote this I did not have an allegiance to any one particular style, as each one hopefully elicits a certain, distinctive emotional response.

Joy: Music for Violin and Piano

Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano - I. Adagio, Allegro Con Uno Trotto, Adagio

Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano - I. Adagio – allegro con uno trotto – adagio

The tale of a slow bus journey to work one morning when I wasn't feeling very good about my job at the time in particular and life in general. With hindsight, I was having a bit of a panic attack. These women on the bus just didn't stop talking shite all the way and I just couldn't 'tune out' in the panic. Everything was winding me up. Every spot of rain, every sneeze, every cough. I like the tune and sound of the guitar more than the lyrics.

Michael Murray's Album

726 (The Falling)

I taught myself guitar with the Beatles and Elvis music books when I was 16 but when it came to the piano many years later, after learning the basic major/minor chord shapes, I just began trying to busk/write songs to practice (I haven't improved much btw!!!!) and this song stemmed from that time trying to join chords together. The idea about "closing the door and never coming home" reminded me of the Beatles 'She's Leaving Home' and I just went with it: Imagining contrasts of George Michael or Morrissey singing the 'big' chorus I could hear in my head in their own unique ways. It's another story song and is about no one in particular. I don't expect this song to be an 'in-context' hit on Soundcloud but it is a personal favourite of mine.

His Eye Is On The Sparrow

A song for my daughter and my son

Remixed June 23

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

Sink Or Swim

Original composition... Alejandro Gonzalez M.
