Зовні яскраві солодкі всередині
Смак фруктовий, а може ванілі?
Сині, червоні — усі вони смачні
Солодка спокуса не встояти мені!
Купиш мій голос я наївне дитя
За мою незалежність невисока ціна.
Візьмеш цукерку візьмеш ще одну
В битві за солодке програно війну!
  Червоних смак! Зелених смак! зупинитись як!?
   Ще одну...ще одну....ще одну................і ще одну
    ммммм цукерки ;))

My Musical Intention - Candy (Цукерки)

You tried to find your way in this sad and wicked place
but all your good intentions got thrown back in your face.
Everyone eventually gets pulled into the race,
gets swallowed and digested if they don't keep up the pace.

Climbing up the ladder in this sad and wicked time,
how to get ahead is all that's on your mind.
Honesty and ethics abandoned on the way...
the payout makes it worth it: you're a richer man today.

Take the money and run, you whore. Grab what you can, find the back door.
Presidents do it, so it's ok. Deal with your conscience some other day.

[C] And go along to get along, it's what's done...right or wrong.
Don't rock the boat and don't make waves, while you're digging your own graves.

Now you are a leader in this sad and wicked land
raking in the rewards of all your greedy plans.
Rolling in the spoils of all that you could steal,
and no one dares to ask you, how do you really feel?

There is no center, nothing can hold and all your futures are bought and sold.
It doesn't matter what the rich folks do, 'cause just admit it, you'd do it too.

Do it for the money all that awesome money 
tasty yummy money happy happy money
you're worthless without money 
bad people don't like money 
what's wrong with them anyway?
They should get with the program.

Big & Strong


I might be 
a big strong man
but I can’t keep
my love from crying
believe me
not for a lack of trying
doing all I can
apart from lying
being such
a big strong man
being just
a big strong man

She’s been asking for a verse
to hang somewhere 
maybe between
tears already shed for you
and a portret I have not yet seen

But you, who would allow just one
to capture you 
and your believes
still resist to being framed
and refuse to rhyme with grief

I might be
a big strong man
but I can’t keep 
my love from crying
believe me
not for a lack of trying
doing all I can
apart from lying
being such
a big strong man
being just
a big strong man

I can’t mend what you broke
even though you went
by choice and proud
you leave my love distraught
beaten, but like you, unbowed

kissing me was not your thing
still I belonged
for you at least
cause I can make my sweetheart laugh
please dear grandma, rest in peace

I might be
a big strong man
but I can’t keep 
my love from crying
believe me
not for a lack of trying
doing all I can
apart from lying
being such
a big strong man
being just
a big strong man

Intermezzo

Kissing me was not your thing
still I belonged
for you at least
cause I can make my sweetheart laugh
my dear grandma, rest in peace

Wind Quintet
Duration: 18'
Commissioned by Quintet of the Americas; Underwritten by the American Composers Forum with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation

PROGRAM NOTES
All of the movements of this wind quintet are connected and inspired in some way by American icons, surrealism, collage, post-1950s imagery and suburbia.

The first movement, Andante, begins with the ending and ends at the beginning. Some instruments mimic others and just when you think an idea might go in one direction, it goes in another. I gleaned many of my ideas from studying cinematic character development and the unusual forms used in many modern films such as the 1994 film Pulp Fiction by Quentin Tarantino.

The second movement, Suburban waltz-fantasy, contains quotes from 1960s-70s TV show themes: The Jetsons, All in the Family, Green Acres, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Brady Bunch and Leave It To Beaver. The movement begins with a waltz-like feel and two of the players mimicking “suburban chicken lady housewives cackle-gossiping across a backyard fence.” An obnoxious stray dog interjects with loud barking and then the movement takes off in a different direction. Some of the quotes are re-composed to sound like bird songs, others are textural and a few are so subtle that they are not easy to discern. Some of the parts even sound like they are mocking each other. This movement is a strange, surrealist collage.

The most immediate and obvious reference in the title of the third movement, Melting Clocks, is to Salvador Dali’s famous 1931 painting The Persistence of Memory in which there are images of melting or limp watches. I imagine a room full of clocks all ticking away, yet slightly inaccurately, the “baby clocks” a little faster than the “old grandfather clocks.” The middle section contains a few brief quotes form the first movement, and the “slightly melted” end of the movement brings back the cuckoo, but this time it melts as if it is in a house consumed by fire.

The fourth movement, Klezmeshugeh, derives its title from my combining the words ‘klezmer’—which is a combination of the two Hebrew words, kley and zemer, meaning ‘instrument of song’—and meshugeh, which is a Yiddish word meaning ‘crazy’. Essentially, this made-up title means “crazy instrument song.” In this movement, there are a few “wrong notes” that allude to the players pretending to sight-read. The end also concludes with a few thematic fragments from the second movement.

Wind Quintet - II. Suburban waltz-fantasy

A prog rock track about moving on

LYRICS:

No shelter from the rain
For those who helped her to explain

Too tired now to explore any more
Blew the fires out when we saw we were sure

It’s not that you’re kidding me, it’s just that your mask looks too real
I see what I look for, when I watch you my brain slips a gear
It appears you fit me ideally
But your beautiful heart is already separate and healing

We crawl and we walk and we run and we jump and we’re flying
We call and we talk and we sing about something that’s dying

I’m not such a fool, I just have a rule
Don’t cut your loss ‘til it’s over
If you slice it too soon you’re risking a wound to a lover
So what would you say when the fog melts away
And the warmth comes to rest on your shoulder
Would you look at me then and choose me again
Or still walk away with another
