Music Video - Fleets Cove

I'm most pleased to announce that my visionary and talented friend Arrien Zinghini has created an amazing 8-minute movie inspired by and set to one of my pieces called Breakfast Boogie/Nightmare Ballad. You can watch this video here: http://vimeo.com/13182724
The piece features all layered electric guitars. As the music came to life, in my mind the character of it was certainly cinematic and mood-derived and Arrien's video certainly is on the same wavelength. Musically speaking, the content is sparse and depends on repeated figures. Playing wise the piece calls for not forcing the proceedings but letting the music breathe, as usual.
It consists of two parts;
- awakening on a regular but unique morning with sensations, thoughts and imagery evolving at their natural unfolding pace.
- once risen, the subconscious themes soon take over to reel and spiral one into the existential dream's core and opaque, endless, powerful abode.

Who are the denizens at the bottom of the pit, howling from below the well? Is it a fantastic animal? A swarm of electric bees? Probably not....

The video was shot entirely on a Long Island beach after sunset on a series of cold April nights. The track can be heard on the album "Night Guitar" due out on SoundatOne Records later this year.
