Jazzaria – Multifaceted
Jazzaria
“Multifaceted”
In the time we have, there is much to appreciate. Fresh angles are precious, as it is easy to fall into a seeming sameness. Though ultimately we tend to opt for comfort, the journey to other perspectives is what gives contentment context. Music is multifaceted.
Featuring clarinet.

Jazzaria – 1.8125
Jazzaria
“1.8125”
Precise and detailed calculations can be unnerving – unerringly uncanny results we know are right, yet feel are somehow off. The universe is parsimonious, and so we expect pithy causes and succinct structures. But information has layers – apparent complexity underlies organization that our intuitions may miss.
This 29/16 track features synthesizers, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, piano, and effects.

Jazzaria – A Plan
Jazzaria
“A Plan”
An enumeration of steps and procedures. A notion of what ought to be done – or at least a way to do things. A form of preparation, a preparation of forms, and a gathering of prerequisites. A Plan.
Featuring synthesizers and effects.

Jazzaria – Neck and Nape
Jazzaria
“Neck and Nape”
Neck and nape, through cityscapes, the racers swiftly sped:
though racer one once held the lead, the second comes ahead.
To and fro, they strive astride, that one might claim the prize –
a Sisyphean struggle, with a cyclical surprise.
Featuring piano and two violins.

Jazzaria – Belatedly
Jazzaria
“Belatedly”
Time and time again:
A cycle, not late – a circle, not straight.
Time, and time again:
A moment, not passed – a question, not asked.
Time, and time, again.
Featuring improvised piano.

Jazzaria – Forgotten Creation
Jazzaria
“Forgotten Creation”
An idea – original, inspired, unexpected. Surely something that would be remembered and celebrated, if it were executed on. But instead it stays in the land of thoughts, pure and untested, and soon forgotten.
Featuring synthesizers, drum machines, electric bass, and guitar.

Jazzaria – 3 AM
Jazzaria
“3 AM”
While awake at 3 AM, many thoughts occur. Silence belies quiet, as worries faintly stir. Processing unevenly, subconsciously subsumed – at an unknowable moment, placid dreams will bloom.
Featuring Rhodes electric piano.

Jazzaria – Convivial Eve
Jazzaria
“Convivial Eve”
Liminal in time and space,
In between a social place –
This is where the eve of Eves occurs.
Civilly inept? Not quite –
But inclined to times of night
When all is quiet save that which reverbs.
Yet when it has a gentle frame,
When those involved can feel the same,
Convivial events can be enjoyed.
Consider those who feel as one,
Separate for many suns –
Reuniting fills a certain void.
Featuring improvised clarinet.

Jazzaria – Korobeiniki
Jazzaria
“Korobeiniki”
In a world where everything inexorably descends, futility pervades. Despite going down, detritus piles up, leaving two possible outcomes – it messily agglomerates beyond the point of practicality and causes the end, or it fits together just so. But instead of forming a precise and solid structure, at the moment where it is needed most, it simply disappears.
Featuring electric keys, ethnic percussion, synthesizers, strings, balalaika, and effects.

Jazzaria – Quadratic Waldo
Jazzaria
“Quadratic Waldo”
Not all those who are lost wander – the Waldos of the world are indelibly located, yet uncertain nonetheless. Considering their predicament, confusion ensues, growing at a self-speeding rate. Beyond a certain point, quadratic challenges prove insurmountable, and we are forced to accept the incomplete.
Featuring synthesizers, drum machines, strings, arpeggiators, and effects.

Jazzaria – Empty Orchestra
Jazzaria
“Empty Orchestra”
What if an oboe offered a pitch to an empty orchestra? Unmoored from expectation, the stalwart A440 becomes trenchant and reverberant. Within each single note, there is a boundless realm to explore.

Jazzaria – 23 32
Jazzaria
“23 32”
One can count one by one, or two and three, or three and two. One can count the ways to count – and how one counts counts.
Featuring jazz quartet of brushed drums, upright bass, piano, and muted trumpet.

Jazzaria – Celestial Chase
Jazzaria
“Celestial Chase”
Seemingly suspended yet forever falling, celestial bodies proceed with stoic inevitability. Orbits subtly shift – a never-ending precession.
Featuring world drums, orchestra, synthesizer, choir, and guzheng.

Jazzaria – Making Up Your Mind
Jazzaria
“Making Up Your Mind”
What are we if not the accumulation of our decisions? Illusory though it may be, our will is our being, and our choices become our identity. Take care when making up your mind, as making things up is sometimes all too easy.
Featuring dreamy electric guitar, 808 drum machine, synthesizers, sequencer, pads, voice samples, and effects.

Jazzaria – Learning to Fly
Jazzaria
“Learning to Fly”
If you can talk, you can sing. If you can walk, you can dance. If you can jump, you can fly? Flight has inarguable allure – but is quite a challenge.
Featuring orchestra, piano, and drum kit. A rescoring of “Wing It!”, the Blender Open Movie.

“Glassy Weasel”
All around the orchestra pit
The maestro chased the people;
The maestro thought it was all in fun…

Featuring piano, orchestral strings, brass, low woodwinds, and bagpipes.

Jazzaria – Aural Remnants
Jazzaria
“Aural Remnants”
After light – shadow. After sound – echo.
And as shadow is not simply darkness, echoes are not simply reflections. Cyclical feedback leads to further reverberations, resonating in ways that go beyond a reflection of their origin.
Featuring timpani, orchestra, organ, piano, reverb, and effects.

Jazzaria – Quietly Held On To Their Confusion
Jazzaria
“Quietly Held On To Their Confusion”
Professionals, like well-to-do neighbors, must keep up appearances. Appearing to know what you are doing is perhaps even more important than appearing productive. This makes asking questions difficult – and so many times, people quietly hold on to their confusion.
Featuring synthesizers, sequencers, FM piano, drum machine, trumpet, and female voice singing “oocht.”

Jazzaria – Line Without A Correlate
Jazzaria
“Line Without A Correlate”
A rebel without a cause. A fish out of water. A book without a cover. A horse with no name.
A ship without a captain. A bird without wings. A needle without a thread. A guitar without strings.
Featuring voice (air traffic control), orchestra (strings, woodwind, percussion), Solovox organ, alto sax, 808 drums, upright bass, shaker, and synthesizers.
