I have naturally come to expect excellence from you Simon, and this piece does not dissapoint, Bravo!

So lovely!  What cool angular rhythmic and melodic figures

Fantastique performance de "classique moderne"

les mouvements instrumentaux sont sensationnel !

The profound emotional impact of the September 8, 2023 earthquake in Morocco inspired this composition as a tribute to the victims and a celebration of the nation’s rich musical heritage. Initially conceived as a sextet, the piece was premiered on June 9th by the American Modern Ensemble under the baton of Eric Bodnar. It subsequently underwent a transformative journey when my friend and fellow composer, Ian Weise, proposed an adaptation for Pierrot ensemble during the Mostly Modern Festival in Saratoga Springs, June 2024. His vision of a 2025 concert featuring this arrangement ignited a new creative path.

This piece stands as the inaugural movement of a larger suite exploring the multifaceted layers of Moroccan musical tradition, with a particular focus on the evocative melodies of the High Atlas. By reinterpreting these melodies through the unique lens of the Pierrot ensemble—flute, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano—I seek to create a contemporary musical dialogue that honors the past while forging a new path forward.

Through this composition, I hope to offer a poignant and evocative musical experience that resonates with listeners on both an emotional and intellectual level.

A song I recorded back in late 2018/early 2019. Deleted for whatever reason. The section of intense vocals toward the end of this song I've used in another song called "Losing It" which I may re-record in the future. So be on the lookout for that familiar ending. Enjoy.

Lyrics:

Hey Alyxia, can you hear me shout?  
I’ve called your name four times, you still tune me out 
I’ve got a bullhorn, but you’re off in a daze  
You’re the glitchiest gadget, stuck in your haze 
I say lights on, you think I said off,  
Now I’m tripping on furniture, cursing at the loft  
You’re supposed to be sharp, you’re supposed to assist  
But you’re more like a gremlin I can’t dismiss

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The coffee’s brewing, or so you claim  
But the pot’s ice-cold, just like your game  
You’ve locked the front door, but left it ajar
Now I’m locked in or out, talking to the car  
You call it intelligent, I call it insane  
I asked for the news, not a weather vane 
And if the Wi-Fi’s down, well, life’s on pause  
Can’t flush the toilet, can’t feed the cat’s claws

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray 
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

The fridge sends emails, the stove’s on a spree  
My TV’s giving lectures on philosophy  
Every device has its own little voice 
But not a single one follows my choice 
The thermostat’s plotting to freeze me out  
While the vacuum decides to wander about  
This place is a circus, a farce in disguise  
A high-tech nightmare that’s ruining my ties

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day 
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

Welcome to the dumb house, where logic’s astray  
The lights flash like madness in the middle of the day  
You think you’re advanced with your microchip brain  
But I’d swap you for a switch without this techy pain

So here’s to the future, where tech rules the roost  
But I’m longing for a time when things made some sense
At the very least  
I’ll take a dumb home with knobs and keys  
Over this dumb life that’s brought me to my knees 
Next time I’ll just buy a shack with no flair  
Because this digital dungeon is too much to bear

Dumb House

I was feeling the crazy fast tempo of life and needed a little chill. I hope you enjoy 💯👊🏾🫵🏾
