A Shift In My Music

3/24/2015

It feels to me that a shift is happening in my music. Over the years I have seen how I go in cycles. For many years I focused much more on writing (in particular, writing tunes) than playing. For around 7 years it turned around and I focused almost entirely on playing and did very little writing. Then, around 5 years ago it was like a creative dam burst open and I focused heavily on developing concepts and writing for mid-size ensemble. Now, I am feeling a shift back to tunes. 

While I like to write for ensembles, it has been my feeling for quite a while that my most creative work is in my tunes -- in particular, the ones that defy a conventional genre classification.

David Arivett is going to make demos of some of my tunes that have not been recorded. We are going to start with "Samba da Aguia Pescadora". I will add the recording to my site as soon as it is ready. Stay tuned....
