About Me

ALL OF MY MUSIC IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD, AS WELL AS BROADCAST ON ANY RADIO STATION! (Google my full name -- Matthew John Mortimer -- for many download sites.) All songs (except the classical piece) are from the forthcoming album titled, "Identity Crisis; 10 modern art songs." "Wooden Spoon" is a through-composed modal bossa nova in d sharp phrygian for voice and guitar. "Hunger" is through-composed in d minor with a recapitulation and is for voice, keyboard, and electric bass guitar. "Mother" is strophic in d minor and is for voice, vibraphone ensemble, sitar, and electric bass guitar. "To Be Old In The City" is through-composed in b locrian with a recapitulation and is for voice, harpsichord, and electric bass guitar. "Death Valley" is through-composed in e minor and is for voice, koto ensemble, and electric bass guitar (it is not about death or suicide--it's an allegory for a depressive episode--Death Valley is the geographical name of a very deep depression). "1st movement, moderato" is from Concerto for String Quartet in E Major (modern harmony). "Switching" is through-composed with a ritornello in f sharp minor and is for voice and electric bass guitar trio. "Christmas Lights" is a new, original Christmas song; it is strophic and in c sharp minor for voice, celesta, bells, any plucked string instrument, and electric bass guitar...........................................This is the only means I have to promote myself and humans have short attention spans. I consider myself very lucky if someone listens to the second song and reads the second comment before clicking on into cyber oblivion. Therefore, I am very sorry for deleting the ad, or "empty" messages, you post in my comment section.

I’ll tell you a secret --

The structure of ALL art is -- tension and resolution -- whether music, literature, theater, paintings, sculptures, or the design of an automobile.  There must be tension; and ther...
