Gonzo Fernandez – Dorian (Produced by The Bad Egg)

Performed by Nashville Opera | Danielle Pastin, Soprano

ABOUT THE ARIA
From The Companion, the first act of a trio of operas called Three Way. In The Companion, Maya lives with her android lover, Joe. This interactive programmed Companion looks and sounds human—only better. Still, Maya wants more complexity from Joe. She has technician Dax come by to install new experimental software, with surprising results. Dax flirts with Maya; in this aria, she shares her ultimate desire.

ABOUT THE OPERA
An Il trittico for the Tinder generation, Three Way is a new opera about the present and future of sex and love with music by Robert Paterson (The Whole Truth) and a libretto by David Cote (Blind Injustice). In three playful acts, average heroes explore the worlds of android lovers, BDSM and polyamory in a quest for “more” in today’s hyperconnected and gender-fluid world. Featuring Nashville Opera, conducted by Dean Williamson. Original cast recording.

LYRICS
What I want is a man. 
Not just any man: the perfect man. 
Who will be here, ready and happy,
At the end of every day.
You may find it alarming 
But Prince Charming
Is just an upgrade away.
He can kiss me so tenderly,
Or hard and savagely.
He is a generous lover.
He can last all night in the sack
Without going slack.
He can hold back on his back
Until I’m done.
He thinks of me first and last,
Every time, every day.
And he never thinks of himself.
He never thinks at all.
But he seems to think,
And that makes all the difference!
That’s the perfect man.
Oh, I’ve had men—
Or weak creatures that called themselves men.
Selfish, stupid, lazy, greedy boys.
And after wasting years of my life
Playing house and wife,
I’ve decided to go home with my toys.
What I want is a man. 
Not just any man:
The perfect man.

Eleventh track of Through a Soldiers Eyes.

The most intimate and personal song I've written.  I wrote this one as a gift for my wife, as therapy for myself and as praise to my God.

"It's boring in this world, gentlemen!" – Nikolai Gogol

"Fair" is a musical composition inspired by Modest Mussorgsky "Pictures at an Exhibition" and crafted in the style of classical music. This captivating track skillfully blends orchestral sounds with melodic and harmonic progressions to create an impressive and emotive atmosphere reminiscent of the exhibition's artwork.

"Fair" opens with confident and triumphant themes that convey the ambiance of the event and the joyous anticipation. Orchestral instruments, including piano, strings, brass, and percussion, intertwine harmoniously, giving rise to intricate and vibrant musical imagery.

As the track unfolds, the music becomes more dynamic and energetic, uplifting the listener's mood and encapsulating the vividness and diversity of the exhibition's paintings. Melodies ascend and descend, capturing the unpredictability and ever-shifting moods one might experience while perusing the exhibition.

"Fair" serves as the perfect soundtrack for projects related to art, exhibitions, galleries, or visual presentations. It helps create an atmosphere of refinement, elegance, and inspiration, complementing visual imagery and enhancing its significance. This track is a great choice for infusing your creative projects with classical music aesthetics.

d-moll; 4/4; varies bpm

Execution Of The Moon Daughter

This took some time... 
My first attempt at recording acoustic instruments, my own vocals (I'm not trained in anyway, go easy on me... :D), a less than ideal arrangement and mixing something like this - all of that and numerous other problems boiled down into this!
One of my favourite songs of all time, two of my favourite artists of all time, and me. 
I hope I brought something worthwhile and unique to the already saturated landscape of covers, something you can travel to and loose yourself in.

It's been quite a journey (as always...), but I've learned a lot with this.
Have fun, enjoyment and distraction,

Cedric :)

PROGRAM NOTE
Fantasia is my first piece for marimba and another instrument. Perhaps because it is an older work, I had the urge to improve it. Composers are of two minds regarding revisions: some think that you should never revise, others revise constantly. This piece was moderately playable in its original form, but I took pleasure in tweaking it, being careful to keep as much of my original music as possible in tact.

«Supa-space-fuckin-freak-blues-rock»: So nennt der St.Galler Singer-Songwriter Philipp Eggenberger seine Musik selber. Eine Kombination aus klassischen und elektronischen Elementen, die auf rohen Rock treffen, wird zum Markenzeichen des Schweizers. Das Soloprojekt The Bad Egg ist gleichzeitig eine Plattform für gleichgesinnte, experimentierfreudige Musiker und wird immer wieder durch neue Kooperationen belebt.
