Compositions all based on one (or more) of three different musical motifs. The motifs appear in many different forms - transposed, played with new accompaniments or in new meters, reworked with new melodies or rhythms, reversed, stretched out, chopped up, etc. 

See if you can hear the recurring motifs throughout the album if you give it a listen, and see if they start to feel more familiar over time when at first they might feel rather strange. I hope you enjoy!

Freedom is not Free - Master 12/23/2011 Lyrics by Tony Harris

AS I ENTERED THE VA HOSPITAL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
MEMORIES, FLOODED MY SOUL
CHINA BEACH - NAM - SEVENTY ONE CAME TO MIND
AND ONE YOUNG MAN I NEVER WILL FORGET
WITH BOTH LEGS GONE AND RIGHT ARM MISSING
A WEDDING BAND TOLD ME THAT A WIFE WAS WAITING
I OFTEN WONDER WHERE HE IS TODAY
AND I WONDER IF HE IS OK

CHORUS
SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
THOUSANDS HAVE DIED FIGHTING DON'T YOU SEE
IN A FAR AWAY COUNTRY IN HARMS WAY
PLEASE REMEMBER THEM WHEN YOU PRAY
PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

AS I ENTERED ARLINGTON FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
ALL THE WHITE TOMBS BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES
AS THE HONOR GUARD SLOWLY PLACED THE REEF
IT SEEMED THAT I FELT MY HEART SKIP A BEAT
I THOUGHT OF THOSE WHO HAD DIED
AND ALL THE MAMA'S THAT HAVE CRIED
THERE IS NO WAY TO IMAGINE ALL THE PAIN
FREEDOM IS NEVER EASY TO OBTAIN

REPEAT CHORUS

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE - Lyrics by Tony Harris / Music by David Walker (Original)

I work as a scientist for a living & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
