Another incredible piece. I always love the way you sew together the pieces, filling in the blanks of history we would never think to connect. But it was your final words that really stayed with me: a motto we should all aspire to live by.
Matthew! Love this post, and love the layers. Spent the morning listening and reflecting on the sounds and the intention behind the music. Was also reminded of your Philly connection. Our son Dylan has been a critical care nurse in Philly for many years, now working at Cooper Hospital across the river in Camden. Through him, we've come to love Philadelphia: the food, the people, the neighborhoods, the music, the history. As I tell my friends, it's very much like New York without the relentless pressure lol. Anyway, thanks for making the connections, for the remembrance of William Orbit, and for continuing to explore the creative process.
I loved reading this, and getting a deeper, more colorful sense of your time in Philadelphia. I had no idea you were connected to Matthew, but I guess that doesn't surprise me. I've never heard of William Orbit, but now I'll definitely check him out.
I think this may be incorrect that Dito, Matthew, and I met during Capulets & Montagues at Opera Company of Philadelphia before or after Shut Up and Dance. Regardless, love them both so much.
It’s vastly different in “orchestration”, but a fascinating exercise for a listener to understand their aesthetic interest - is it the music composition or the instrumentation that makes what like a work?

Thank you! Producing is about advocating for stories and experiences that need a better means of distribution.
Beautiful piece. Thank you.
Thank you so much for reading

Oh Loren - thank you for your support and constant connection

This is beautiful, Matthew. I wasn’t familiar with Orbit but I will listen to his version of the Barber soon.
