Holiday (Extended House Mix)Tevo Howard's Black Electro Orchestra 6:19 [By Madonna]

Originally as an exploration further into electronics and electronic music, Sequence Report as an alias artist is Tevo Howard's coin through computerized voices arranged, time stretched, and tuned via today's music studio technologies. This album release titled, VANITY, is a follow up album to Sequence Report's first album, SECROMANCE, which headlined nearly 30 major websites and Magazines worldwide with it's pure essence of the Chicago style electro genre while gaining Sequence Report it's initial prestige in the field of electronic musics. VANITY, as a second album, is a bit less `happy' in tonal expression and addresses a more dissonant serious mood via usage of doubled tonal synths, modal scales in diminished chord structures, as well as straight forward beats meant to bang out large clubroom settings. All of the compositions presented here on this second album are in long form for DJs.
Also released with this second presentation from Sequence Report are the long versions of Tragedy, Beauty to Body Count, and Been Steppin' to your Love, which were favors in short form on the SECROMANCE album. Coupled with those are Ebony Lover, Your Love (Nobody Beats It), Remedy, and the title track Vanity. All tracks are intended expressions of sound from the imagination of Mr. Howard as depicted paintings and statements of musical language about the distraught of secular social identity that fundament the desensitized media today. More simply put, this album is a depiction of the vain look at fame and fortune that the media forces on the self-identity of the people of todays world. No doubt, VANITY as a second album is a statement to the world in great honor of the people of our community on Granville avenue in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago to stop the violence addressed both domestic and worldwide, as well as in our neck of the woods and in our very homes.

The song DEPENDENCY came about after a long lunch conversation in Berlin Germany between Tevo Howard and Levon Vincent. The conversation addressed song form, which is a side of music theory not so often addressed by today's composers and producers. Nonetheless, the gist of the conversation noted the art of idealizing a mood and taking that mood and creating a composition that represents an audio depiction of that idealized mood. DEPENDENCY was the name given to the mood that Tevo Howard used for a discussion example during that original conversation with Levon Vincent. During the following week, Tevo Howard was said to have composed and recorded the song DEPENDENCY from that original ideological mood from the discussion that day at lunch.
Here released are 4 versions of the song: modal, mostly unison tones written in delayed effects. Also accompanied is the BEAST MIX of the track LOVE STORY, which is a master piece composition written as an accompanying song theoretically and also as complimentary as opposed to a supplemental piece with a more downtempo pace and mood. The track was written with the ideological mood of loving without reason nor to acquire.

LOVE STORY (BEAST MIX)

LAZY AFTERNOON By Tevo Howard
[TEVO HOWARD RECORDINGS TTHR-DR028]
 A 5 track EP release that introduces Tevo Howard as a bass guitar player to the world. Written in grooved out compositions in the Chicago House genre, and for whatever a lazy afternoon can involve, these 5 tracks were written by Howard from a hotel room in Berlin with a broken heart, a skateboard, a bass guitar, and a locked room to emotionally release and pick up life's normal rhythms via 'working it out' over the bass guitar.
The theoretical and technical goal of Howard's bass guitar playing throughout the EP emphasizes the sound movement and texture of each note in theoretical articulation. The techniques used involve strumming dynamics like mezzo-forte and fortissimo coupled with stacotto and legato emphasis while paying close attention to rhythmic articulation by placing all baseline notes in rhythms according to the back end of the beats per measure---The baselines are played lazily behind the beats in hope that this one will groove for you.

Brother To Brother (House Mix) [PREMIER STREAM]

Featured in this release are the BROTHER TO BROTHER (Instrumental Versions). After its first appearance on the album LAZY AFTERNOON, the song is presented here with the GOOD WORD and the UNDERGROUND mixes, which are long instrumentals for the clubroom setting and DJs. the song is a personal favorite of Tevo Howard's as far as playing and composing on the bass guitar because the baseline is articulate and dynamic but mindful of the 'rest' in music and therefore simple while retaining that deep rooted dance groove. Officially, the song BROTHER TO BROTHER represents the 'stop the violence in Chicago' movement and promotes sitting down and talking like brothers and keeping family close instead of all the negative things that only hold us apart..
