Creepers in the Castle
What would a creepy piece be if not in a minor key?

Add some visuals from the band as the insect “circles,” and you have yourself a guaranteed successful concert moment. For you environmentalists: No harmful pesticides are included. (Oh my, that’s “OFF”-ful!) (1:45)SKU: ALBD9951 -

You’ll really get a nice sound with this one! Carl’s original work explores the rich American folk style in two sections.

Currents
The term current is defined as a steady flow of water, air or electricity in a particular direction. Whatever form the current takes, it is a fascinating source of energy that supports, yet challenges mankind in multiple ways. The composition “Currents” by Robert W. Smith takes its inspiration by the various forms of energy used in the art of music and in music education. Unpredictable, yet constantly flowing, the interacting musical lines of energy provide a unique experience for both performer and listener alike.SKU: AL24757 -

Cut to the Chase
In popular jargon, the phrase “cut to the chase” means to get to the really interesting or important point, and leave out all that is unnecessary. It originated from early cinematic lore when silent films were full of romantic storylines that inevitably led to much more exciting and memorable chase sequences. In this work, the melodic fragments are tossed around the band to give the impression that everyone is being chased or chasing something. To pay homage to the phrase’s past, the frantic atmosphere stops for an obligatory inclusion of a slow, romantic chord progression with a soaring melody, and then the chase resumes, building to a rousing conclusion.
