I’ve met my goals for May. I revised the piano part of the eighth phrase of Landscape 5: Marsh. I also recorded harmonica parts for Landscape 8: Palm Glade. The goal for June is to revise Landscape 6: Beach. I also hope to do a little bit of recording in this month (maybe a synthesizer part). I have also spent some of my stimulus money contracting with Musiversal for a July recording session for an orchestral part to Landscape 10: Rocky Coast. This month I’ll leave you with a realization of Landscape 6: Beach that includes a cello part performed by Nara Shahbazyan.

What a crazy time it has been. Even in bad times there can be silver linings. Practicing self isolation I have found more time to compose and record. In March I revised the piano part of phrase two of Landscape 3: Pond, as well as the last measure of the piano part. I also found the the time to record the bass part for Landscape 8: Palm Glade, which will be included below. In April I hope to add a music concrete part to Landscape 4: Sand Dunes. Anyway, here’s the current realization of Landscape 8: Palm Glade with Carl Bugbee playing the guitar part, and me playing the bass part.

During the month of February I rewrote the third phrase of the pedal steel part for Landscape 2: Snow. I unfortunately did not have any time to record any new tracks for the project. I do plan on recording a bass part over spring break. I do have some updated audio to share this month. Appropriately enough it is Landscape 2: Snow. This realization includes a guitar part performed by Carl Bugbee of the prominent Rhode Island cover band Take it to the Bridge, and the cello part is played by Dr. Nara Shahbazyan who performs in the Providence based New Music group Ensemble Parallax.
