PROGRAM NOTES
Although Deep Blue Ocean is not meant to be overtly programmatic, I thought it would be wonderful to explore the oceanic depths, so during a trip to the Gulf of Mexico I became a certified scuba diver. I was truly inspired, whether by the large rolling waves on the open sea, the delicate back and forth of beds of seaweed, the vibrant colors of fish clustering around cities of coral, or the beams of sunlight that cascade over the ocean’s surface.

I was also inspired by my four year old son Dylan: his name means ocean or god of the seas in Welsh; he is an Aquarius, which means the water bearer; he is an excellent swimmer, and he loves listening to a movement of one of my choral works entitled Infinite Oceans.

While writing this piece, I could not have known that the worst oil spill in U.S. history would occur just north of where I visited. The darker moments in this work are the result of this tragedy. It is in three connected movements: The Darkness Below, Sunbeams and Waterfalls, and Accents and Waves.

Deep Blue Ocean is written for Steven Gosling and Blair McMillen of the American Modern Ensemble and is dedicated to my son Dylan.

PROGRAM NOTE
Couples who are in love often share the same interests, finish each other sentences, and laugh at the same jokes. In fact, Scientists at the University of California, Davis discovered that a couple’s breathing patterns and heart rates match up if they sit close to each other or look into each other’s eyes. They don’t even have to hold hands or talk for this to happen. However, a similar effect apparently does not occur among strangers, only couples in love. Coupled with this idea, I have always been fascinated by binary stars, which are two stars that rotate together, on the same axis. Binary Hearts for solo marimba is inspired by these phenomena. In this piece, I use heartbeat-like motives and ostinati, fast moto-perpetuo rhythmic sections and choral-like episodes, creating a joyous, gently shifting tapestry that is meant to reflect how two people feel when they are in love. Binary Hearts was commissioned by Micheal Barnes in honor of his marriage to Carly Prince.

Mao's Dream

Introduction in English:
For many, November is the worst month. I particularly like it because it is the month that best expresses the Buddhist mantra of "And the end is the beginning". In November, almost all the trees are bare and most plants have faded. But in this "destruction" lies the seed of new life. 
November is the month that most clearly demonstrates that we sometimes have to radically let go of beliefs and attitudes that no longer help us move forward so that we can reposition ourselves and continue to develop.
And this month also makes it clear that we must fully accept dying and death as facts in order to keep the flywheel of life, which goes far beyond us, running. 
At the age of 60, I am still in the "October of life". However, October is already knocking strongly on the door of the unstoppable transformation processes that reach their climax in November. 
The song "Autumn is here" summarises these thoughts in the form of a French chanson. I chose this form because, in my view, the French language and the genre of the chanson come closest to the basic existential themes of life.

Lyrics in English (For those, who don’t speak French)

Autumn is here

Everything falls, nothing holds
Nothing stands, it's already late
The green turns gray, the weather wet and rough
The flock of birds moves away into the warm blue

This morning I was full of energy
Tonight I'm tired
My garden of life will soon be withered
One little spark still glows
That still drives me and pulls me forward 

Autumn is here
The gray hair
Lies damp in the drain sieve

Autumn is here
The cataract
looks at me in the mirror

The fields are bare
The faces pale
The tree trunk breaks
In the middle of the poem

The clock runs down
The meadow lies fallow

The car groans
The eye runs and tears

The children look pityingly
The morning sun grins
Nothing you can gain 
Gain
The raven peeks
Around the corner, nods at you

Französischer Originaltext:

L'automne est là

Oui, tout tombe
Rien qui tienne
Il n'y a plus rien
C'est déjà tard

Le vert devient gris
Le temps humide et rude
La nuée d'oiseaux 
S'en va vers le bleu chaud

Ce matin, j'étais à fond
Ce soir, je suis fatigué
Le jardin de ma vie 
va bientôt se faner

Une dernière étincelle brille
qui me pousse et m'entraîne en avant

L'automne est là
Les cheveux gris
Se trouve dans le siphon

L'automne est là
La cataracte se rapproche
Me regarde dans le miroir
L'automne est là

Les champs sont nus
Les visages sont pâles
Le billot se brise
Au cœur du récit

L'horloge retarde
Le fond du pré est en friche
La voiture gémit
Les yeux sont pleins de pus

Les enfants regardent avec pitié
Le soleil matinal se moque de toi
Il n'y a rien d'autre que tu puisses gagner
Le corbeau regarde 
Au coin et il te fait un signe de tête

L'automne est la (Autumn is here)

A soundtrack that takes you on a journey to your innermost and deepest feelings.
It expresses the despair you feel when you are completely powerless like... 
... When you want to say something, but the words remain on the tip of your 
    tongue 
    and fall silent.
... When everything feels cold and you just want to feel something again, 
     but it just won't get any warmer.
... When you have knowledge for positive change, 
     but are forced to do so, 
    still not being able to change anything.
Because when we feel all these emotions and want to scream and cry at the same time, all that remains is the emptiness inside us, 
which plunges us into despair.

Something in the Water [remaster]

Cada Vez Que Estas Cerca

Evolution is an experimental jazz fusion composition. With smoky rhodes keys, deep double bass, and a sax that vibes with guitar solos, this track flows through mixolydian, japanese, and dominant phrygian scales. It’s all about that natural evolution - merging, adapting, and connecting everything into one smooth, endless groove.

SUPPORT

Evolution

This track reflects my personal journey, shaped by the values of karma and loyalty that I inherited from my mother.

Space

Water is a charming smooth jazz composition that flows with the essence of Earth's natural harmony. The track features warm, soothing rhodes, an enveloping saxophone that glides effortlessly through the melody, and a sonorous, clicky organ adding depth and texture. Through its fluid, gentle transitions, Water evokes the subtle transformations of our planet, mirroring the serene yet powerful forces that shape the Earth and its waters. The artwork complements this vision, depicting the Earth with its life-giving waters, symbolizing balance, growth, and unity in nature.

A Blues song about a man who has been a faithful husband and father whose wife is stepping out on him every night. The man is very sad and has "lost his way."

09 - The Lessons Learned (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

Little Ol Me Remix (Featuring Ruth Reid)

Axiom unfolds as a meditation on fundamental truths in D Mixolydian, where certainty and doubt dance in perpetual tension. The composition builds from a single, undeniable musical statement that expands into complex territories while remaining anchored to its origin. Like mathematical principles that require no proof, the melodic core stands self-evident amidst evolving harmonic landscapes. Jazz textures create spaces where listeners confront their own unquestioned assumptions, while modal explorations blur the boundaries between ancient wisdom and contemporary insight.

Axiom

Cadillac Blues

This is not just a song. This is a chapter.

The lyrics for this track are taken from a key scene in the unpublished novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us). It tells the raw, unfiltered story of a young German refugee's "homecoming" in 1948 – not to a welcoming fatherland, but to a landscape of destroyed train stations, bureaucratic coldness, and the quiet, heartbreaking moment a lifelong dream is shattered by a single piece of paper.

Musically, this piece is a fusion of melancholic jazz, blues, and deep, weary spoken-word verses, creating a cinematic, "film noir" atmosphere for this tale of disillusionment.

This is the sound of a generation arriving home, only to find they are more lost than ever before.

---

Das ist nicht nur ein Song. Das ist ein Kapitel.

Der Text für diesen Track wurde aus einer Schlüsselszene des unveröffentlichten Romans "Hinter uns das Land" übernommen. Er erzählt die rohe, ungefilterte Geschichte der "Heimkehr" einer jungen deutschen Vertriebenen im Jahr 1948 – nicht in ein willkommen heißendes Vaterland, sondern in eine Landschaft aus zerstörten Bahnhöfen, bürokratischer Kälte und dem leisen, herzzerreißenden Moment, in dem ein Lebenstraum durch ein einziges Stück Papier zerstört wird.

Musikalisch ist dieses Stück eine Fusion aus melancholischem Jazz, Blues und tiefen, müden Spoken-Word-Strophen, die eine cineastische "Film Noir"-Atmosphäre für diese Geschichte der Desillusionierung schafft.

Das ist der Klang einer Generation, die nach Hause kommt, nur um festzustellen, dass sie verlorener ist als je zuvor.
