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.

«'Inner Mountains' is somewhat the imp of a journey towards a higher and innermost place.
These mountains are the urge for exploration... where music can be a dimension of reunion, 
a state of togetherness, and where its own boundaries can always be rewritten.
'Inner Mountains' is an album that explores the idea of digging inward. 
to reach an upwards state through a constant, and not always in agree, dialogue 
of instruments.  It gives us this distinct sense of a mountain not to be risen but to be dug...»

[Verse]
Inside all of us there are waking objections
there are fighting oppositions
there are milestones and missions
[Verse 2]
inside you and I the internal spy
has lost its way outside
but while it seeks to hide
it tinkers
[Chorus]
and what have you done to appose
this
have you helped it on its way
and could you have done a thing
had you know of that which it sings
could you have told it no
and would it listen so
[Verse 3]
While trying to be one with with something
you've called it forth
steered left and right its become your course
an as it looks you dead in the eye from its recess
behind you find
its never left behind
[Verse 4]
Calling me forth I could take over
I could become you for second even longer
you could go to sleep forever and I'll take center stage
you'll enjoy that maze I've created
you can run that maze
[Chorus]
and what have you done to appose
this
have you helped it on its way
and could you have done a thing
had you know of that which it sings
could you have told it no
and would it listen so
[Bridge]
Had you not listened I'd have notice
I'd have listened in your wake
in your waking hours I take you
when your feeling cold and fake
and I usurp your every thought
while in those moments you do sleep
between the things you do
between the worlds you knew
I'll be waiting
[Chorus]
and what have you done to appose
this
have you helped it on its way
and could you have done a thing
had you know of that which it sings
could you have told it no
and would it listen so

Well, this is a third creative round using that chord progression from SWC091 (see https://soundcloud.com/api_zz/sixteen). This time I take more liberties in composing and arranging than the original 'rules' demanded. The whole progression is transposed to A# to fit the vocals. These are created by asking Udio to do a performance of the poem "Rumors from an Aeolian Harp" by Henry D. Thoreau. This performance's vocals get separated from their instrumental parts, time-synced and mixed with the progression. Additionally there are drums, a intro pad and a middle sequence based on the instrumental part of the Udio delivery. Voila!
