A long-time fave/underappreciated number of ours, where my tongue in cheek rhymes set up Sweed's all jokes aside shit as nicely as ever.   the Tres Hombre of the Feloniou$ Munks, Dewdrow Mann, stepped up to save the chorus from my failing falsetto & drop a few voice overs to add the icing on this cake, boss.

Hope you all catch as big a lift from it as we did getting it done;  with the back & forth bass riff to guitar melody,  i always found it an easy song to bounce along with.

Gonzo Fernandez – Dorian (Produced by The Bad Egg)

The synth and rhythm tracks are inspired by my love of The Who. Specifically Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley. Once I started adding melodies it took on its own life. That's the cool thing about recording sometimes. The song goes where it wants to regardless of how hard I try. ;-)

PROGRAM NOTES
In some ways, String Quartet No. 2 is similar to my String Quartet No. 1: the five movements are stylistically diverse, I use a few snippets of pre-existing music, and the music, while idiomatic, is technically demanding. As with my first quartet, this work explores technical and aesthetic ideas I didn’t have a chance to explore in other works.

The first movement, Colored Fields, is inspired by abstract expressionist painters such as Mark Rothko, Kenneth Noland, and Barnett Newman, but also pointillist painters such as Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. There are textures that emerge and submerge using articulations that gradually shift from soft to loud, or short to long, and there are a few transitions that utilize a technique I call pitch phasing or phase modulation, as opposed to tempo phasing. In these transitions, two or more instruments gradually modulate (raise or lower) notes, motives, or phrases by gradual, very refined, microtonal, non-chromatic increments, settling on new pitch areas that directly reflect the previous areas, just modulated up or town. The movement ends softly with a virtual desaturation of the rhythmic material. I remove notes, one by one, until there’s nothing left.

The second movement, Rigor Mortis, is inspired by a comic strip by David Lynch that newspapers ran for many years. In this strip, Lynch sketched a stressed-out, pitch-black dog, looking very mean and almost buzzing with anger; it looked like it was about to explode. Every strip began with an accompanying paragraph that read, “The dog who is so angry he cannot move. He cannot eat. He cannot sleep. He can just barely growl. Bound so tightly with tension and anger, he approaches the state of rigor mortis.” This made me envision musicians playing with such ferocity and tension that the music seems to eventually cancel itself out, anger imploding in on itself.

The third movement, Dolente, is sad, lush, and mournful. The only request I had when writing this quartet was to incorporate a Norwegian fiddle tune or theme by Edvard Grieg, so I chose themes from Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1. The form of this movement mimics the form of a song by Edvard Grieg’s entitled Spillemaend (Minstrels, or Fiddlers). The poem that Grieg set in 1876 as the first of Six Ibsen Songs (Op. 25) is based on the Norwegian folktale of the fossegrim, a male water spirit who could teach the art of violin-playing, but often at the price of personal happiness. In some versions of the story, the poor violinist drowns in the end. Like the song, and echoing the second movement, this movement beginning with the protagonist’s longing, his desire for the beloved. Next, he encounters the fossegrim, who promises that becoming a master of music will allow the protagonist to become master of his beloved. In the final stanza, the protagonist becomes a master fiddler, but he is now a cursed, wandering musician deprived of earthly love, so he drowns himself.

The humorous fourth movement, Scherzando, capitalizes on effects that at times, often make the string players sound inebriated. I make use of copious glissandi and tempos that fluctuate between 3/4 and 6/8, giving a sense of unease.

The final movement, Collage, is similar to the first movement in that it is inspired by the visual arts, and specifically, collage painting and works by surrealists. Many themes from the first four movements are brought together in this odd-metered movement.

String Quartet No. 2 commissioned by J. K. Billman and is written for and dedicated to the Euclid Quartet.

"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.

Fair

This track was inspired by the beauty of a small town on Lake Como, Sala Comacina. The town has a nice port with small boats and a net of very narrow streets in which you can just walk. Watch the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LK3_HfDcOdw

PROGRAM NOTES
When setting text to music, it is very fulfilling to have an opportunity to work with living writers, and especially a great writer such as Mark Campbell, one of America’s most celebrated librettists. The mission of the Five Borough Songbook project is to have composers and text writers create short pieces that are about New York City, so we decided to create a song entitled Crossing The Hudson about two people who cross each other on different Staten Island Ferries.

Crossing The Hudson was commissioned by the Five Boroughs Music Festival for the Five Borough Songbook, Volume II.
