Anteros the Song
From Wikipedia: In Greek mythology, Anteros (Greek: Ἀντέρως, Antérōs) was the god of requited love, literally “love returned” or “counter-love” and also the punisher of those who scorn love and the advances of others, or the avenger of unrequited love. Anteros was the son of Ares and Aphrodite in Greek mythology, given to his brother Eros, who was lonely, as a playmate, the rationale being that [...]

New (Old) Song: “Wait for Me”
Another remake of an old original. If I had a choice I’d prefer to compose, make the music and let someone else lyrically and vocally tell the story. Preferably someone famous and we’d reap the fortunes of putting angst into a consumable musical form. Origins You’ll get the point. I wrote this at the beach. [...]

New (Old) Song: “Howl”
First, let me say something. I wrote this back in 2004. It’s one of the first songs I ever recorded. The saddest song ever written. This is a remake because the hard drive that the recording project is on died (ironically, while I was trying to back it up). I’ve been revisiting old tunes [...]

Here’s an instrumental interlude. This is one of my favorite standards and a good one for a cello/bass melody. Cello melody. Cello mellow. Cellomelody. Uh … anyway, the melody is pizzicato on the cello (thank you Ray Brown). The arco upright bass states the melody at the end, layered with … other stuff. This here [...]

New Song: “It’s Cold Outside”
I don’t know where this came from. I was humming randomly in the car on the way to work this morning. I was like, “That would be a good melody.” So I recorded it as I was trying to flesh out the idea. Of course, I forgot the lyrics I was coming up with at [...]

Cello 2: “Seeds”
So I broke a string on the cello a few weeks ago. Trying to tune that low C up to a D. Oops. The peg kept slipping and I couldn’t get it to stay put for the life of me. I twisted too hard out of frustration and there it went. Did the same thing [...]

Cello
I bought a cello a few weeks ago. It was kind of a whim. More like sudden inspiration than a whim, actually. The timbre of the instrument is beautiful and I figured why not get a real one so I can add texture and gravitas to some of my tracks. I play stringed instruments already [...]

New song: “Insinuendo”
Okay, it’s not really a new song. It’s about 5 or 6 years old and I think I posted it somewhere before. This is tighter and hopefully better. I’m trying to think of a performer to sell it to. That’s a joke, kind of. Whenever I write something I try to figure out what artist [...]

New Song: Black River
Can you guess what band’s sound influenced this one? Showing a friend the lay of the land on the guitar and he kept playing these little phrases and going back to them. I said, hey. That could be a song. That chord’s an E and that chord is an A. Lots of songs use that [...]

Sadie Flick on vocals Harry Appelman on electric piano and organ (go, Nord!) I wrote this back in, like, 2000. It’s taken a long time to pull together for some reason. Definitely not perfect. I need real horns but that would/will require getting a horn player, finding a place to record, renting some studio [...]
