about

Even to this day… is an observation of the present and hopefully a gift for the future. I started this three-movement project before Covid and released Movement One in 2021. I was trying to get out of, and get my friends out of the Covid malaise and do something that would positively affect us all. Since 2021, we have been bombarded with a litany of negativity: a lack of government leadership, rampant homelessness, constant threats of annihilation, climate change, economic hardships, continued social inequities, and the passing of so many of our friends—legends of the music we play. Through the compositions and improvisations in this movement, I hope to contribute to the positive vibrations in our universe.

Movement Two Syncretism: for the draw… is about 11.5 hours long and as mentioned features electronic improvisers. Why the length? The original idea was to have this movement be a short section between Movement One and Three. Now, this music has become a larger environment for listening; the duration seems to be for reflection and function. Why electronic musicians? Movement Two started with 5 compositions written for guitarist Alkis Nicholaides; once these compositions were completed, I wanted to explore these compositional areas more deeply. Things expanded rapidly from there as the sonic inspirations were sculpted into what became Even to this day…Movement Two Syncretism: for the draw….

When I was in high school, I read a startling statistic that there were always at least 200 wars simultaneously on the planet; now in 2023, there seems to be so much more bloodshed. We are close to 90 seconds before midnight on the Doomsday Clock, and everyone is being pushed to their edge. Can music relieve this constant stress? I do not know. It’s not for me to determine. Our job as artists is to create a positive force within ourselves and transmit that force outward. On Movement Two Syncretism: for the draw…. an amazing amalgam of soloists breathes life into sonic structures to realize these goals. With its superimposition of composition and improvisation Movement Two Syncretism: for the draw….is my tribute to our sanity, endurance, and patience.

released September 29, 2023

(Syncretism—the practice of combining different beliefs and various schools of thought)

Even to This Day... comprises three movements. The first, Movement One: Inoculations, was released in 2021 for an orchestra and 21 improvisers. The second, Movement Two: Syncretism: For the Draw…, is for guitarists, electronic musicians, brass, woodwinds, percussionists, voices, and orchestra. The idea behind Movement Two came from a collaboration with Alkis Nicholadis, a wonderful Cypriot guitarist who asked me to compose an orchestral suite of compositions featuring him as the soloist.

Movement Two features real and virtual musicians who perform composed music combined with improvisation—which always seems to be the best way to get what I want musically—a blend of serenity, intensity, and stability that shifts like the sands in a desert. The compositions showcase the musicians' creative talents through soloistic journeys, interludes, and a myriad of improvisational approaches played over a large and continually changing symphonic setting and orchestral textures. The movement also spotlights many West Coast musicians I play with, as I wanted to have them represented in the music. One can listen to the compositions in any order, but I feel they are best listened to in their original order.
