Never Letting Go After thoroughly enjoying the musical theatre play from our first year students tonight, I intended to sneak into the theatre and do my daily thingy, only to find out that everything had already been locked down and shut tight. What to do? I can't leave you emptyhanded, so I present you with an oldy, with vocals. In 2008 I collaborated with Daniel Cohen to write a musical about the Bijlmerdisaster of 1992, where an airoplane crashed into an appartmentbuilding in the suburbs of Amsterdam. The play evolved around a gospelchoir who had their rehearsal space in that very building and the lives of the people surrounding them. Todays piece is a recording of the finale of that show. Lyrics by Daniel Cohen, music by moi. Tomorrow more piano playing. I did compose a couple of songs today for an event which takes place later this year in Bodegraven. I shall keep you posted on that part. But for now, sit back and enjoy the heavenly choir. Thank you for listening!

For those of you who don't know the Moth; it is an organization which organizes story telling events, where the audience is invited to tell stories based on a central theme, which is revealed at the beginning of the event. Very inspirational. One of the stories I was listening to started with these exact words. "Travel with me if you will, to a space..." I took the words, and the melody of the speach and worked from there. For you commuters out there, I highly recomend this podcast! The stories are heartwarming and often very funny.

Rest Your SoulTonight, dear people, we had opening night of our new show called Seven Shades Of Blue. A musical theatre piece in which six women get together to touch upon their naughty fantasies. Their erotic bookclub is the highlight of the month in their otherwise grey and dulled out lives. And it doesn't stop there. Each get together is complimented by an unexpected (and unknowing) guest. Brilliantly played by Tessa, Julia, Denizli, Britt, Anouk, Joëlle and Javan. Thought of and directed by Frank Sanders and arrangements and piano by yours truly. It is a privilege and an honor to work with such a talented and fun group of people. We play in the attic of the Carré theatre in Amsterdam until Easter sunday afternoon. If you are in the neighbourhood and like to come, drop me a line and I'll be happyto make arrangements for you.

My Baby Girl Our daughter Lila had a tonsillectomy today. She is doing very well! We learned a long time ago that the way you go into narcosis is the same way you come out of it. Therefore we did everything to get her in as happy and joyful as could be. Well, she went in with a smile, deciding to dream about fairies, and came out pretty cheerful! My wonderful wife was with her as she woke up, whilst I had rehearsals for a new project. I did, however, find the time to create this little comforting piece, thinking about my baby girl and how proud I am of her. Healing music, at least for me. Thank you for listening!

No matter how much you think about it, look at it from every possible angle, you just won't know how it will effect you until you take that leap and jump right in! Go for it, people! Jump Right In and see where it takes you. It is only when you start doing things differently that you will get different results. You can always go back to your old life, but the longer you remain in your comfort zone, the more it greys out. The colors blend into a nondescript blur and you forget why you're here in the first place. We all need to grow, make new connections and share our learnings with one-another. If we were all to keep our findings to ourselves, we would still be living in trees. So go! Challenge yourself, find new ways to do stuff and step on that path of constant improvement! There is nothing to lose and everything to gain! Relax, enjoy and jump!

I heard someone say once that those who can afford it have a shrink and for the rest of us there is music. Needless to say; I have music. And a lot of it. In that context I must need a shrink pretty badly :-) There is some truth to the saying, however. I am fairly sure that playing and composing music has saved my emotional wellbeing on numerous occasions. I revert to the piano as my big black psychiatrist. I can always channel and focus my emotions through music and playing the piano. It's as if the harmonic vibrations put everything in the right place and the right perspective every time I play. So a big thank you to music may be in order. Everybody cheer! Thank you for listening!

Hoop doet leven it says, which the dutch equivalent of Hope springs. Hope Springs We were driving back from visiting my brother and his family this afternoon, when I noticed the freshly repainted name of the windmill at the canal. Hoop doet leven it says, which the dutch equivalent of Hope springs. A more literal translation would be: Hope makes you live. Although that may be the case sometimes, I want to state the opposite. You see; Hope, although appearing as a positive emotion, doesn't do the world a world of good. Hope numbs, with soft cushions and a comfy chair. Hope doesn't bring food to the table. Hope doesn't pay the bills. Hope doesn't cure your diseases. Hope, in other words, is a bitch. A goodlooking bitch, a strawberry cheesecake flavoured bitch, but a bitch just the same. You see, hope prevents you from taking charge of your situation. It was invented by the Katholic church in 380 AD to prevent the masses from thinking in general and claiming their rightful place in the world. Hope is a vision of how you want your world to be. Great stuff, I hope ;-), but severely lacking in two areas. 1. It misses out on your responsibility for that world. When you hope for something to be a certain way, that also implies that you hope that "they"/the-powers-that-be/your-neighbour/spouse/children/God/who-ever will go to work and make it so. That ain't gonna happen people. At least not deliberately. If anyone makes changes in their life, it is for their vision of the world. Not yours, however well you may accidentaly fit in. You have to take responsibility for your world and everything (and everyone) in it. 2. There is no call to action in a hopeful vision. "Oh, I hope I will pass my exam next week" doesn't make you study harder, if at all. Action is the key word here. There is no bravery or audacity to be found in hopes and dreams. Action is the bridge between you and your hopes. Action delivers. Action enlightens. Action makes you alive. Action springs. They say home is where the heart is. I say home is where your actions take you. To do or not to do. That is the question. Thank you for acting on your hopes and dreams!

Struck hard by a ferocious flu, I just about managed to do the bare necessities, with a lot of help from my dear wife and wonderful children. - We did, however, Go With The Flow Let me tell you, dear music friends, this was not my best week. Struck hard by a ferocious flu, I just about managed to do the bare necessities, with a lot of help from my dear wife and wonderful children. We did, however, had our second appointment for a floating session on wednesday. Fever aside, we decided the worst thing that could happen would be falling asleep, which is exactly what I wanted. Besides, if the epsom salt solution is good for mind and body, it may as well cure the flu, right? It didn't. I did fall asleep a couple of times, but the biggest benefit from that second float was that my mind became a lot clearer, and a lot more still. Apparently one has to learn how to float, before one can drift. It was very welcome amidst all the fever-induced geometric dreamstates I had been in for the last couple of days. I did feel a lot better yesterday and even better today. Who knows, maybe it does cure the flu faster. All in all, the biggest lesson for this week is that you sometimes can't help but to go with the flow. Let go of the guilt-driven desire to appear busy and awe-inspiring and only go for the bare necessities. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream. Clear your head (and body) And see where it takes you Get well soon, everybody, and thank you for listening!

Float Away Yesterday, dear people, our our never ending quest for the unknown and meaningful experiences took us to Amsterdam. To a place called Koanfloat where, you guessed it, one can float. In a pod-like bathtub with a lid. The device is filled with water, containg a high dose of epsom salt, which is rich in magnesium and several other goodies. The density of the water is so high that you actually float on the water, instead of sinking. Very much like the dead sea. I knew it existed for years and always wanted to try it out, so last week I looked for a location, found someone to babysit and made reservations. It is exhilarating to find out how much you have your life and your feeling of being alive in your own hands. A lot has happened since I started this podcast and a lot more will. The idea of creating something new every day is starting to flow into our daily routines. We come up with new ideas for things to do constantly. We have become much more creative in every aspect of our life. We learned to challenge eachother more and face our fears. Not so much because of my music, but because of the fact that we actively decided to stop taking life for granted. That is where the magic lies. We lifted the veil and have a much clearer vision of how we want our life to be. Where we want to go. With whom and how to persue it. Try something new and notice how young and exciting it makes you feel. As a child, almost everything you experience is new, which makes things envigorating and time seems to move slowly. You can recreate that by actively setting out to do things you've never done before, never dared to do, or never even thought existed. Give yourself the gift of opening up to a world in which everything is possible. You can start small by taking a different route to work or trying some dish you would normally never eat and build from there. Life is too short to watch tv and wait till it (you) passes. Live long and prosper! Nanoonanoo. Thank you for listening.

I Feel So Alive Would you rather stand in line for ten minutes and pay 25 cents less for your drink, or pay the extra quarter and get to call your spouse and have a brisk walk through the park? That is the question I asked myself today as I went on my lunch break, for which I had about half an hour. It was a little bit rainy and I had just been rehearsing for two hours. Hungry, thirsty and in need of some exercise, I took the elevator down and walked towards the grocery store, which is conveniently located in the central hall of the building I work in. I have been working out and put myself on a diet for the past two months or so, which means that during the day I only drink protein drinks (and a lot of water and tea). If I don't have anything with me, I buy a protein drink at the grocery store. Any brand is fine by me, as long as they don't contain aspartame and such nastiness. Next-door to the grocery store there is a drug store which sells the exact same drinks for 25 cents extra, so I usually don't go there. But. It being a college building means that during lunch hours there are about three hundred students trying to buy their lunch at the same time. Long lines indeed. This led me to the question mentioned above, and to the bigger question: What do I want to do with my time? You simply do not, and won't ever know how much time you have here on earth in this lifetime. Money and things can be replaced, but time can't. That makes it your biggest and most valuable asset. Realizing that leads you to a path where you inevitably value things and experiences differently. How much is your time worth to you? I have, for the past ten years or so, devoured audiobooks and courses and documentaries whilst commuting to and from work, so much so that I prefer to travel alone. I am all for meaningful conversations, but during commute there doesn't seem to be any (I was financially forced into a three hour carpool to a theatre for half a year and don't have any lasting memory from that). The intrinsic value of my time becomes increasingly important to me, and therefore I won't allow myself to stand in line for ten minutes to save a quarter (that is 1,50 per hour). I focus on experience and life-changing events instead. Have a meaningful conversation with my wife and taking a walk through the park in the rain is infinitely more satisfying than saving a quarter on a meal. Thank you for listening!

Lying In The Echo Of The Sun Last night we returned from our lovely family vacation on the island of Gran Canaria, where the weather was exquisit. Here in the Netherlands we experience some sort of eternal autumn with some unexpected highs in spring and summer and lows in the winter. Not that it's all bad, but we do have a running gag here: "It was a lovely summer this year, it fell on a wednesday!" Cold, humidity, drizzle and darkness lead us to book a week in a lovely bungalow with a big garden in a resort in Maspalomas. Peaches and cream, that was a perfect getaway! The Canary Islands are located in the Atlantic, off the northwest coast of Africa. They are part of the kingdom of Spain, which means it is quite European. The temperature in early January is around 20 Celsius or 70 Fahrenheit, but on the southside, where we were, it easily gets three or four degrees warmer. Perfect weather for us. Warm enough to go swimming or sunbathing, but also nice enough to remain active. Basically being outside till bedtime, recharging the batteries for the severe autumn months ahead... I want to thank my wife and family for making this possible and the travel agent for finding us the perfect location. And you, as always, for listening!!!

The Best Of Times From a warm and sunny Gran Canaria I wish you all a very inspiring and blissful 2013! Doing the Daily Piano Pieces so far has been a dream come true. I have learned a lot about myself and am utterly grateful for the creativity it has brought me. As you may hear; today's piece is somewhat on the short side. That is because I haven't been able to find a playable piano here yet. However, tomorrow I may be able to get my hands on a nice concert grand in a private resort nearby.

Recognising personal growth, with renewed insights is like feeling the warmth of the rising sun after a long, cold, dark night... and you can't deny it. You glow, you shine, you radiate! You live life! Really, you don't have to seek for happyness: Just by feeling the happyness you just found in yourself and stepping inside it, you'll get there (your soul is waiting to guide you)... That feeling will be your path. And you'll get strength from it, to conquer anything, because you feel new, reborn, recognised and loved. Thank you, Esther! Thank you, thank you!

Violila Today, my effervescent ears, our daughter Lila had her first ever violin recital, which was eyewellingly great and wonderful in and of itself. What made it especially noteworthy is that it was the first time that there where three generations of Leujes's playing together on stage (or anywhere else for that matter)! Lila of course on her violin, my dear father and musical foundation on piano, and myself on double bass. It was all Lila's effort and perseverance that we stood there today. She made sure we had sheetmusic (with a little help from granddad) and that we all knew what to do, and when to do it. (I have to admit she has always been a bit of a director, but in all fairness; she does get it done:) Lila did great! Played the notes she had to and, of her own accord, skipped and faked the ones she wasn't too sure about. Afterward we talked a little bit about nerves and stagefright and how there seem to be happy nerves and bad nerves. She experienced the happy ones, I am glad to say. Upon asking why, she mentioned that she knew what to play by heart and that it felt nice to play for the audience. And that it was comforting that we were on stage with her. I have been an accompanist pianist for many years, as has my father, but I have never felt so good about accompanying anyone as I did today. We are sincerely proud of Lila's confidence and accomplishments since starting violin lessons mid-September. The best thing about making music is making it together. Thank you for listening!

Black Pete Our Santaclaus is called Sinterklaas. They both are derived from the Turkish bishop Saint Nicholas, who roughly lived in the 4th century AD. He was the bishop of Myra and became a saint due to helping children. Given the light in which katholic men of the cloth are nowadays associated with children it is a slight wonder that we still celebrate the dude, but he was probably very nice and tender... In the rest of the western world Santa is connected to Christmas and his little helpers are elves from the North Pole. Our guy lives in Madrid, Spain, and his little helpers are all called Pete and are in blackface, not for 1920's review purposes, but because they deliver the gifts via the chimney. Their clothes seem to be miraculously impervious to the soot and are legendly shiny and crinkfree. We don't do Thanksgiving here in the Netherlands, instead we have Sinterklaas. He travels by steamboat from Madrid (!?) to somewhere (anywhere, really) in the Netherlands, where he arrives mid November with his Petes and his white stallion on which he rides on the rooftops in the night, deciding which children get presents (all of them), and which children get the Roe, which apparently is a bunch of twigs. You get the Roe if you've been a bad kid. If you've been very very bad, you get to go into the sack, where Santa normally keeps his presents and sweets. When you have to go into the sack, you get to travel back to Spain with Sinterklaas, although there are no known cases of this actually happening. The original Nick alledgedly had his birthday on the 6th of December, which is why (!?) we celebrate Sinterklaad on the 5th. That is the big-presents-evening, but in the three weeks he is in the country children can place a shoe near the fireplace (or anywhere else you can make plausible) and leave some carrots and water for Santa's horse Amerigo. You might get a chocolate letter, or some pepernoten (tiny gingerbread-like cookies, also you used by the Petes for throwing). More info here The picture is me in the very early 1980's. One of my first professionals theatre gigs (I got payed with pepernoten). I'll probably write more about this phenomenon in the next couple of days. Thank you for reading, and listen!

Every evening when the time is right she goes for a sturdy 60 minute walk through our village, usually with our neighbour and their dog. I am very proud of her, because it takes courage and stamina to embark on any venture out of your comfort zone. It is not so much the walking as the fact that she takes the effort to take care of herself and sticks with a plan. It is so easy to go walking, running or any new habit you want to persue, and give up as soon as there is a slight drizzle or setback. It is when you persist, just keep going and working on yourself and eachother, that you can take the necessary jump to really grow. Thank you for progressing!

Evidently that is not true, I Love You So Today I was listening to a Radiolab episode about words and how language determins your thoughts. Not only that, but it almost seems that there are no thoughts before language is involved. Evidently that is not true, but it does shed some light on why we don't remember all that much from our first, say, two or three years of our lives. (Conveniently that is exactly where all our major issues seem to be based when you visit a psychologist, but that is not important right now). The best evidence opposing the theory is of course Music. With a capital M, yes. Although not word based, music is a language none the less. It can move you and revoke memories long forgotten. It can bring colour and happiness in your life without circumstance or predudice. My daughter's favourite album is Rubber Soul by the Beatles, as it was mine at their age. I did play it for them, but I never imposed it. They can choose to listen to whatever they like. A Hard Day's Night, Help, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers... But seriously, I do try to give them access to a variety of musical styles, ranging from Mozart (and a little bit of Bach) to, well, perhaps not Lady Gaga (bless her soul), but surely contemporary stuff like, uhm, ... Somehow we seem to be stuck in a rut, musically. We've lost our oomph. The music we hear and make nowadays seems to either be a vague reflection of the past, or a superimposed rendition of what we once thought ought to be the future. All due respect to the arty aspect of the contemporary popculture, but why is it so hard to incorporate descent music in the process? How many people would have heard of Mozart if he had put on a powdery 17th century wig and rehashed some Palestrina tunes, with half the chords? I'm just sayin'. Not to say that I am splitting atoms with my ditties, or that it is harmonically interesting whatsoever, but I get emails and request to listen to pianopieces, where I go and listen (I always do, I hope) and what I hear is I-IV-V, without melody, story, or urgence. I don't get it. Where did we lose our sence of identity? Sure, if you make a road or a pie, you want it to be perfect. If you want to know the ten zillionth digit of Pi, go for it! But would you trust someone to do major surgery on you, who has read a reprinted Google translation of Aristotle? The persuit of happiness is a wonderful thing, but is it really happiness that we are after? Shouldn't wonder, excitement, amazement and No,it can't be!! be much higher up our list? My piece for today is rather dusty. Somewhat inspired by the Radiolab episode, where they they played some Bill Evans to oppose the Word-theory. None the less, it is what I felt at that moment, with all my shortcomings. Perhaps tomorrow I'll have a deeper insight... Any comments and input are very welcome! Thank you for enduring!

Family Portrait My daughter Lila painted this beautiful painting of the five of us, including even Benthe's omnipresent doll Poppe. I thought I'd accompany it with a rendition of the first piece of music I conciously created. I must have been about six, because I remember whisteling it on my way to school. The tiny little melody kept popping into my mind from time to time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gave me an identity. It started me on a journey I am still persuing today. And tomorrow, for that matter. The melody itself never developed, so I left it more or less as is. Thank you so much for listening!

Charlois is a part of Rotterdam now, but started of 550 years ago as a tiny village on the south bank of the river Maas. Autumn is a season of the year. The theatre (Zuidplein) had a very nice Yamaha grand, but unfortunately I didn't bring my microphone. I even forgot to take my iPhone to the stage. But I promised the audience I would post this, although I must confess I played something entirely different. Sorry fir that. Hooe you enjoy this. Thank you for listening.

Windmill A couple of days ago I got the opportunity to take one of the family bicycles back home from my inlaws. How it ended up there is an entirely different, be it hilarious story, which I will perhaps tell you another time. It was approaching sundown when I placed my left and right foot on the corresponding pedals. The sky was luminescent with the last gushes of bright pink light of the setting sun and the slight, almost warm breeze of the Indian Summer eased me on my way. My inlaws live on a dyke which is part of a canal system devised to regulate the wateroutled of an area called the Haarlemmermeer, once a great lake, but now part of the Metropolis we know as the Randstad. Riding my wife's bike on the dyke, which I like, I kinda decided to try to take sight (from a different hight) of the light at the brim of the night, when suddenly saw it there standing across the water. The windmill. I knew it was there. I have been driving past it knowingly for almost twelve years, in every kind of weather and light. Sometimes there are people at there, sometimes there's trouble at the mill (poke her with the soft cushions!), mostly it is just there, doing its job keeping the farmlands dry, though aided nowadays by a computer operated waterpump, sucking the water from the meadows. It is a weird and wonderful thing to feel the air and airiness of your surroundings when you're on a bicycle. Your perception changes and you experience your world completely different than when you're driving a car. The automobile will give you a sense of freedom, but if you really want to feel free and enjoy your world around you; go biking. It is commute by holiday. Thank you for noticing. All I wanna do is...

It was rather noisy and quite wonderful. My brother and I played even a couple of songs (he plays the saxophone), like we did when we were younger, so much younger that today. I really learnt how to accompany when I started playing together with my brother in our teens. He had a book of jazz songs for alto saxophone, with chords, also for alto saxophone. This means that I had to read and transpose at the same time, which led me to construct a method I still use today, where the music I read directly corresponds to any key necessary. Thanks bro! I still enjoy playing with ya, although it doesn't happen too often (maybe once every couple of years). We still breath the same way musically! Thank you for playing along!

The light through the roof of treeleaves was golden and I couldn't stop taking pictures. So I thought I'd share some with you. The piano piece is a short rememberance of the shear beauty of that walk, recorded in between today's rehearsals for the Beatle project we're doing (which premiers next week on monday and we have a helluva lot of work to do).

Don't Ask Me Why As we are educating our students we are inevitably educating ourselves, as it should be. Every teacher-student encounter, when executed properly, will enlighten a student and a teacher proportionally, be it in different areas. Today I had the privilege to work with one of our top teachers and -actors Wil van der Meer and we were working with a class of second year students. It occurred to us that some of the students were disproportianately modest. Not shy, but modest. And although we have all been tought that modesty is a virtue, it is opperation certain death if you want to work in theatre. Here in Holland we have a saying; "Just be normal, that is crazy enough" and, although it's kind of old news and 'been there', it is incredibly deeply integrated in our society. So much so that even the most flamboyant of characters seem to need to practace it. That results in a level of mediocraty that is thicker than blood, apparently. It is all about the way you look at the world and the questions you ask yourself and others. We seem to be driven by why-based questions, opposed to how- and when-based questions. You see, with every question you ask, you will inevitably get an answer. Why-based questions tend to look to the past and will therefore try to answer and verify situations that have already happened. The trouble with that is that these answers are not always applicable for future situations. Sure, Why does my hand hurt? Because the stove is hot provides you with useful information, but Why Did I Fuck Up My Life So Bad really doesn't. The answer you will get, because you will get one, may be just as valuable as one of Thomas Edison's eightythousand anwers he got from the question Why doen't this lightbulb work? You have your answer, but no direction. When asking How- and When-based questions we point ourselves and the answers we receive in the direction we want to go. How can I improve my life and How can I get this lightbulb to work are valuable because they imply an outcome, instead of a reason. When you have your outcome, the reason will be clearer than when you get one of the many reasons something didn't work in the past. Look forward people, is all I'm trying to say. Take and learn from the past what you can, but don't try to build your life upon it. Thank you for listening.

Today we did our annual apple picking outing at a local orchard, but due to the usual unforeseen reasons we went about twelve days later than expected. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprises to find that it wasn't even thát busy, compared to other years. The organic farm also holds a restaurant, a cheese farm, a candle making shop and a wide array of retailers dealing in anything home-made. Enough to attract a lot of people every week. In hindsight we weren't that surprised to see the orchard all but stripped clean of their delicious succulant apples. We did manage to track down some of the shy ones, hiding in the nooks and crasses of the orchard and almost expecting to come away unpicked.

I presume it was a nice bloke, but that's not important right now. She had some business to attend to, considering a faulty tooth and the fixing of it. The surgery went well enough, but that's not important right now. We went to the hospital, taking our youngest with us and making it into an outing of some sorts. While my wife was doing business, I took my daughter for a stroll and a bite and we soon found ourselves curious world of hospital economics. First of all, let me agree that hospitals shouldn't be establishments one enjoys to be in and one should take great care to avoid them, like the plague, or a faulty tooth. But. As you are there, unwillingly and out of nescesity, you have almost no choice to go for a walk and end up either in the shop, or the restaurant (in this case they were one and the same). If not for killing time, then at least for avoiding the germs and diseases floating happily about in the waiting rooms. The caterers know that. They also know that you are bound to buy something, out of pity, guilt, shame, or whatever made you start wandering the corridors. What do you sell to such people? Comfort. In the form of food (candy and such), In the form of magazines (the same ones that lie there in the waiting rooms you are so ancious to avoid) And the inevitable helium balloons. Almost all of it stuff you are not going to need and stuff you wouldn't think of buying anywhere else, let alone in a hospital. But you wander in helplessly and buy it anyway. To take your mind off things, to kill time, because you forgot to bring some sort of present for your loved one, to keep your children afloat (helium does seem to make a visit lighter somehow). Because you are in such an unearthy place, you can't think straight. The quality-cost ratio doesn't matter as much. What's a few extra bucks compared to the agony all around you? So you buy. It is only after you leave the premises that you realize you have paid about three times as much for that tiny bag of licorice allsorts. Not that you particularly like licorice allsorts, and it isn't even the right stuff. It's something inferiour. Plus it's probably infected with all kinds of terrible virusses and bacteria, so you don't really dare eating more than one or two whilst waiting for the patient to arrive. They can't eat most of the time because of anaestetics or danger of infection, so what does that leave you with? In my experience the price of hospitalmerchendise (let's call it that for now) is about three times that of the outside world, and about half the quality. My suggestion: The next time you need to go to a hospital, get any crap you didn't get round to throw away and instead of doing just that, take it with you and sell it at the hospital!! I love a bit of commercialism, but in a free market there should be competition to drive the prices down. My fear is that such commercialism may reflect on healthcare itself. "We at the Acme Medical Centre give you brainsurgery and remove your pelvis if you book before the twentieth." "Here at the Big Corp Health Boutique you will get a free buttock transplant when you have you kidneys removed before october. Buy now and you get 35 helium balloons and seventy cuddly toys for $1.99! The way it is now, at least in our hospitalshops here in Holland, you get a nickel for a dime. Don't get me wrong, we have an excellent healthcare system here and some of the best hospitals in the world. I only think that something should and needs to be done about the shops. It is bad enough that you need to go there in the first place. The faulty tooth is mended, for now, so we embrace ourselves for the anaestetic to wear out. Meanwhile I composed a little ditty in 5/4 to keep my mind off things. Thank you for listening. Happy times and happy measures!

Entangeled Welcome back dear listeners and listenerettes! My dear friend Anke Kuijpers sent me a lyric today to work on and although the melody and music is far from finished, I thought I'd share with you the general atmosphere and harmony I got from the lyrics. As the words are not mine and in the dutch language, I won't share them with you, but the theme is confusion about a possible newfound love. Not knowing whether to to trust your head or your heart and getting entangled in the emotional rollercoster. The lyric is carefully constructed and full of nifty puns and wordplay, which makes it impossible to translate, but take it from me that it is very good and recognizable on both emotional and intellectual levels. So, thank you Anke for your lyric and for giving me the opportunity to work on such wonderful material! And thank you for listening and listeneretting! Freak out and move in!

And very affordable, Music At The Gym Welcome back dear Freds and Gingers! Today I went to the gym, which is located in the same building as the academy for musical theatre where I work a couple of days a week. How convenient. And very affordable, although they charge extra if you want to use the shower. There is, however, one thing I do not understand about the cultural sports movement of the gymnasium type. For some reason, unbeknownst to me, they need to have very loud, very generic, very annoying music on. All the time. As an almost religious believer and fanatic advocate of self development, learning and exploring just about anything there is to explore, I can't think of a more enjoyable way of working out than working in as well. Let the fat and sweat out and replace it immediately with knowledge and muscle. I always have a stash of ready-made instant knowledge in the form of a couple of podcasts, radio shows and lectures standing by to feed my brain. Anyone familiar with the iTunes University? Colleges and universities from all around the globe put their lectures up there, including presentation slides, video and audio! If not the whole-, then at least a hefty chunk of the shebang! Free of charge! How wonderful is that!? The fact that all that is now set to an never-ending, pounding underscore of no fixed abode is going to require a little getting used to (and perhaps bigger headphones). Thank you for bobbing your head slightly to the beat.

Today, dear listeners, I was playing in a small community theatre in Rotterdam for a stunning crowd ( or stunned crowd) of about 20 people with an average age of 63, give or take. It was a song cycle of sorts. Two girls singing and me banging on the piano and doing my vocal bit. During act two a phone rang (with a seal-like ringtone). We were in the middle of a heartbreaking quiet ballad and not only did the owner pick up, after quite some time, but after his initial "hello?" he proceeded, rather loudly, to emerge himself in a conversation "No, they're sittin' there singin'" He had a hearing aid, if you must know. I actually thought it was rather funny and it reminded me of today's youth, who don't seem to understand the difference between tv and live performance and therefore don't know that there even is any etiquette. Did you know that in Shakespeare's time the Globe was filled with people eating, socializing, texting, e-mailing and What'sUp-ing their heart out, not to mention procreating, discussing politics and whatnot. I did my Daily Piano Piece, live, for them, although I must confess I didn't record it. The piano wasn't up to par, though I promised I would do so whenever whatever, but hey, it's my podcast. After a brief explanation of the fad called "the internet" and explaining the concept of the podcast, I asked for an atmosphere and a title. For 'atmosphere' I got 'the beach' and 'winter', and for the title I got 'Sex on the beach', which I found slightly peculiar, given the 'winter'-setup we had just established, but I'm always up for a challenge! Let's see if you can hear what I am talking about...

Today, dear listeners and readers, we took our little family all the way to Hilversum (broadcasting capital of the Netherlands) to watch the concert by Tom Beek and Mike Boddé. It took place in a little church called The Old Catholic Vitus Church, which has wonderful (church-like) acoustics. I have written about Tom before in this post and this one and you can find out about Mike Boddé here. The concert was part of a series called C'est Le Tom Qui Fait La Musique and was very inspiring. Tom started out playing two solo pieces where he explored the possibilities of the church's acoustic qualities. Playing with shapes of sounds and harmonies. Together they played a wide array of styles and compositions ranging from Debussy to Weather Report and even dutch composer Harry Bannink. Mike also did a couple of solo pieces and a set of Bach's Goldberg variations in various styles (Mozart, Randy Newman, very good, very funny!). All in all it was a wonderful concert and an afternoon well spent, but here is the best thing: They had organized childcare! A few doors down the road there was a nice little garden, with two fences and all the stuff you might want to keep the children busy for a couple of hours. What a great idea! Thank you Tom and Mike for the beautiful music and a special thank you to the babysitters! Needless to say this piano piece is inspired by today's events. Thank you for listening!   Tenors and grands Hilmar Leujes no 3:52 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://dailypianopieces.com/?powerpress_embed=1311-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> DPP149 – The Little Niches Of My Life http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp149-the-little-niches-of-my-life/ http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp149-the-little-niches-of-my-life/#comments Sat, 01 Sep 2012 13:55:05 +0000 hilmarleujes http://dailypianopieces.com/?p=1306

Up The Creek Twenty-five bucks. The pale red-pink-ish sheet of paper, with the picture of the dutch composer Jan Pietersz Sweelinck seemed to have appeared magically out of the tube of Smarties which had lain there in the gutter near the sweetshop all the time. We didn't find it of course. It was found and proudly displayed and re-enacted by our rivals Frank and Ernest. "Honest to God, it just lay there! I don't know why, but something told me I just had to take a look inside it!" Did we believe them? No, naturally we didn't. Casper and I had been scavenging and searching for money all afternoon and all we had found were a nickel and half a box of wet matches, which we thought was kinda cool. Frank and Ernest however went on some sort of a, well, not treasure hunt, but more of a harvesting of quarters here, guilders there and the king of kings, the ultimate find for any 8 year old treasure hunter; paper-money! And not just paper-moner, but a shitload of it!! Twenty-five bucks! You could buy 500 smilies with that kind of cash! We sat on the sidewalk near the candy store contemplating our prospect of sharing a lollypop and maybe creating a fire if the matches had dried up enough. Meanwhile Frank and Ernest were still repeating their little play with the money they probably stole out of their mothers purse. Sweelinck was looking ever more disapproving, as if he knew. Of course he knew. You could almost feel the paper burning red hot blisters of guilt in their fingers, or so we imagined. We decided to leave the delinquents en go up the creek to our secret hideout where we put the nickel and the matches in our treasure chest, filled with marbles, ancient dinosaur bones and prehistoric clay pipes. There at least we were kings and we could imagine whatever we wanted. Matches were always dry, a nickel was a bar of gold and there was danger and hilariously funny stuff around every corner. We didn't see Frank and Ernest for at least a week and I've always felt weird when listening to Sweelinck.   Thank you for listening.   Hilmar Leujes no 3:37 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://dailypianopieces.com/?powerpress_embed=1298-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> DPP147 – Lest We Forget http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp147/ http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp147/#comments Wed, 29 Aug 2012 13:00:54 +0000 hilmarleujes http://dailypianopieces.com/?p=1283

Everything is normal, Key Grip And Gaffer This tune sounds to me like it could be the closing credit music for a heartfelt 1980's american sitcom. Something involving a seemingly normal family with perhaps the addition of one oddity of some kind. Everything is normal, except their house is built backwards and therefore they keep running into the crazy kinds of situations living in a backward built house would. Every morning the dad of the family walks onto his front lawn, says good morning to the nasty suspicious neighbour called mrs. Uberstein and is outraged by the fact that his newspaper isn't on the porch. Seconds later there is a big "Doh!" where he realizes it of course is on the back porch "because his house is built backwards!" and the whole canned audience can have a laugh, wondering what it would be like to live in such a house... During the closing credits every member and even mrs. Uberstein comes by on the screen doing a gesture or a look which is typical of their character, only to step out of their role to give a heartwarming laugh (which actually makes mrs. Uberstein even more creepy). Key Grip: Jack "Waitforit" McLister Gaffer: Bubba DeWit Thank you for watching!

I have been working on a piece of music for an airline commercial, which was due today and I needed to finish that before the deadline was up. In the wonderful world of music-licensing, which I am trying to break into, there are a whole lot of websites offering opportunities for music placement in movies, tv-shows, advertising and what not. It works like this: 1. On the website you browse for an opportunity that tickles your fancy 2. You write and record a bit of music 3. Submit it to the site 4. Pay the entrance fee 5.

Within bars even, In our discoveries of the musical realm in, say, 1749, my friends and I used to play a strange but important kind of air-guitar. Actually, we played a whole range of instruments and were even able switch multiple times within songs. Within bars even, put on the drummers high hat to hit that accent only to switch back to the saxophones fez to continue the solo. The reason this was so important to our development was that it challenged us to invent stories and emotional journeys to go with the music we listened to. Either in words: "Michael Brecker really sounds as if he's just lost his wife and children in a car accident, ran over his own cat and discovered his hairline is receding -Hhyeah Oh, he found twenty-dollar bill he'd forgotten he had! -Hhyeah Skip the bass-solo? -Hellyeah!" ...or in gesticulation, which is kind of pointless to describe. "... -Hhyeah ... -Hhyeah Skip the bass-solo? -Hellyeah!" Later I discovered that there is a whole world out there called song-interpretation. It is where words and notes become connected to feelings and meaning, giving them the wings they need to go out and communicate with their audience. It is where you start connecting with your audience on a much deeper level than you ever thought possible. It's where the magic is. We all know the singers and instrumentalists who appear to be sooo emotional with their eyes closed, a big frown on their forehead and their whole bodies contorted in Deep Deep Feelings. They appear to be very much into It, whatever It may be, and although they probably are; they don't connect. They don't share their experience with you. They don't invite you in to their world, but instead place themselves on a pedestal for you to gaze at. Al very well for royalty- and religious folk, they have to, because if you come too close to them you might see them for who they really are (the same as you and me (or at least you (joke))). But as an artist you are communicating, no matter how you look at your craft. If you don't you are either a dreamer without an audience or not an artist. Back to, say, 1749. It was there and then that we laid the foundation of our musical communication skills and I think back with pride and joy to those uninhibited days of exploration and discovery. Want to try it yourself? Take today's piano piece and think of what could be the story. Wave your arms about, play some air-piano, create an air-drumtrack and other air-instruments if you like. Skip the bass-solo. Thank you for air-listening and please share. Air-heads and air-ports. P.S. I am still looking for air-readers for my air-writings.

DPP139 – Sadness In Mind

Sadness In Mind Don’t worry people, a little sadness in actually a good thing! In the Everybody-Happy society we live in today there is hardly any room for other emotions anymore, yet they are as real a part of us as that compulsory happiness is. It is what makes us alive. See it as a

Sadness In Mind Don't worry people, a little sadness in actually a good thing! ;-) In the Everybody-Happy society we live in today there is hardly any room for other emotions anymore, yet they are as real a part of us as that compulsory happiness is. It is what makes us alive. See it as a pallet of colors, or a collection of notes which together form a painting or a melody. Stepping away from your bag of emotions is like stepping away from art, from music, from life itself. When this piano piece came into existence I didn't feel particularly sad, but, like every other human being, I do have my worries and doubts about all kinds of things in life. Probably about the same things as most people: being a parent, a member of society, making enough money, health, environmental issues, people in need, you know, the basics. A little sadness in mind doesn't have to stand in the way of your general wellbeing though and playing a sad tune helps me just as much to give it room for existence as a good weeping or a hug with a loved one. David Jackson of the Marketing Musician Podcast says it like this: "For those with money there is therapy, but for the rest of us there is music". Very true. My wife told me this piece sounded like the ending of Schindler's List. Yep, that is sad alright. In the Netherlands we remember the fallen soldiers who fought for our freedom on the 4th of may. Two minutes of silence, in which I always dig deep into myself to embrace the sadness and send out love and positivity to those who need it. It is quite the feeling. As for the painting of the crying gypsy boy (who isn't actually a gypsy boy, so I've heard, but a well paid actor with boyish looks and a special talent of crying on demand), the reason it became so popular in the late fifties of the last century (it hang in many, many households, you might even find one of your own when you finally get round to cleaning your attic), is probably very similar to why Schindler's List was such a hit in the nineties. To wallow in sadness for a bit and then get on with your happy life with your Stepford wife. Thank you for crying.

I Read an interesting blogpost today by Tom Beek, raising all sorts of questions about the future of music and music-consumption. You can read it here, provided you can read dutch or it translates well enough. The question Tom raises are quite valid. What will be the future of music How will we consume it What is the influence of the internet and social media The answers, for now, is that there are no answers, yet. But it is up to us, the people of the human race and anyone else with an interest in music, to at least consider the fact that the future of music is something to be dealt with. On the one hand there is the obese Pop-monster, which feeds on the souls of todays youth by sucking out any form of creativety. Here is an interesting article from on how popmusic hardly changed at all in the last fifty years or so. "We found evidence of a progressive homogenisation of the musical discourse," says Serra. "In particular, we obtained numerical indicators that the diversity of transitions between note combinations - roughly speaking chords plus melodies - has consistently diminished in the last 50 years."There you have it. What will it evolve into? Listening to some of Lady Gaga's tunes it seems to be racing towards a One Note Samba, without the chords and the bridge. Dronelike. The future of pop? Flatline in a weird dress. I should mention that I have heard and seen Lady Gaga do things with a piano, and she can sing, but her audience (label) pushes her in another direction. Come to think of it; the latest pop sensation is called One Direction. Yes, it's a boyband, and yes, they won some X-factor or The Voice (not Frank) or Eat-Your-Own-Brain type of television program. On the other hand; the demand for music in all sorts of styles is greater than ever. Last week I saw a trio play at a festival. Piano, guitar and drums, didn't even have a bassplayer. They did a lot of New Orleans stuff, some originals and the average age of the bandmembers was above sixty. The audience, however, were for the larger part younger than thirty and all of them were dancing their young behinds off. Or listen to Seesick Steve and his three-stringed guitar... Good, honest, wholewheat music will never die.With all the rapid changes on the internet, mobile devices and apps and our culture shifting from consumption of good that are fed to us, to engaged consumarism, where we decide what we like based on engagement with likeminded souls (fans ánd artists), the only conclusion we can make at the moment is that the industry part of it is spreading thinner, but the opportunities are getting more and more abundant as artists and music lovers find eachother in smaller niches. Much like the one you and I are in right now. Thank you for listening and please share your thoughts on the subject, it is for the greater good of mankind. Or something.

Thank you Twitter. One would expect a happy tune, of course, but raving romantic as I am, it trinkled into something kinda-weary-kinda-sad. That may have something to do with the fact that my dear wife is out for the weekend, having a wonderful time with Marjolein in the provence of Limburg. Go get them, girls!

Why of course there are! • Hearing your three year old sing the whole chorus of Drive My Car out of the blue • Discovering seven bunches of grapes on your vine • Eddie Izzard • Playing piano • The one about the Algerian, the Saudy Arabian and the Belgian • Lactose tollerance • Billy the mountain • UB40 (LOL) • Radiolab • A Prairie Home Companion Actually, the reasons are endless. I smile all the time and, as long as I allow myself, I seem to be able to find something hilarious in just about every situation I'm in, except perhaps for child abuse and animal porn, which I take very seriously (satire).

Yesterday, dear pianopeople, I took my daughter Lila to the museum of literature. In dutch: Letterkundig museum. They have a wonderful display of anything involving words and a very nice interactive children's department. You may have noticed the wall of books from yesterday's piano piece. In the main area the walls are filled with paintings of wroters from the last hundred years, ranging from very classical to very modern. Some of them are selfportaits (some are better painters than writers). Another nice feature are the sculptures, which I photographed and edited for your pleasure. I couldn't tell you who they are, there was a lot to be done at the children's department, but I'll be glad to show you around if you are in the neighbourhood. The best thing, though, was the display of original illustrations from many children's books. There really are some excellent artists out there who not only capture the imagination from the writers, but know how to translate it into captivating imagery! I am going to read me some books now! And watch the pictures!! People to look out for: Thé Tjong King (who has a display of his own on the second floor) Harmen van Straaten Marit Törnqvist And a personal favorite: Max Velthuijs, from the Frog series, and many other works of genious!

It has probably something to do with the Olympics, but I haven't checked it I am sorry to say. Update: it is some online movie watching site, where had probably just uploaded some major blokbuster... What I did do this week was a little test to see if there is any correlation between Facebook postings (and other social bookmarking) and the number of visitors I have on my site. I have to say it was a very successfull test... The number of visitors dropped drastically to just below the 200 mark. Here is what I did, or rather didn't do: I stopped writing posts with the piano pieces I stopped posting and bookmarking on all sites, except for a random twitter post, which runs on autopilot I stopped using pictures I even neglected to give some pieces a title Of course you all noticed that and if you didn't, well, you weren't here I suppose. Other factors may be the hosting thingy from last week and I also noticed that there are a lot of xhtml-errors in the code, which I am working on. There is also an issue with Internet Explorer apparently. I hope I will be able to fix it this week. Another thing I have been working on this week is finding a job, because it's all very well that I get to play music every day, but the climate for working musicians has changed quite a lot this year and yesterday I heard that they're cutting almost all the orchestras from the big musical shows, leaving one or two musicians and a tape... It's the arts, people, it's the arts. I will keep you posted. Daily, of course. Meanwhile, enjoy your piano pieces and thank you for listening!

Yes, I do that too. It started out with the intro, which is somewhat related to, or at least inspired by, the fabulous intro to Brian Wilson's California Girls, which is maybe the most beautiful intro to a pop song ever created. Doing some carbon dating (romantic as I am), I can fairly accurately inform you that I wrote the intro at 9.34 pm on april 53rd 1990, give or take a minute. There used to be a song after the intro that I don't remember, which is probably a good thing.   The rest of the song is heavily inspired by Steely Dan's Katie Lied album and by Joni Mitchell's Hejira album, both in melody and harmony. I wrote it in my second year at the conservatory of music, whilst being in a tumultuous relationship. Let me show you some of the lyrics:   Walking through the empty sheets at dusk The lampposts shouting yellow light at me A thought of you came over me   I am standing at the station there at dusk Waiting for the 11.17 Taking me from where I want to be To the smell of jazz and coffee And the doubts that shine on me   Overexposure of the heart Let me tell you something I don't wanna part It can lead to an explosion If you don't have the notion You gotta watch out   Overexposure It can kill your emotions If you don't watch out For the surplus of love I don't want to leave you alone   Etcetera, etcetera... If you ask me; a typical nineteen year old with a slightly too serious relationship... She thought so too.   it doesn't stop there:   Home, not knowing who or where I am Guess I must have left my head behind with you Explain to me how all I said was true That some feelings are eternal But most words misconstrued   Yep, that's what we in the Netherlands call "kalverliefde", translated: puppy love, but then with baby cows. I also listened to a lot of Tom Waits back then, which may explain the shouting of lights and other poetic indulgences I undertook in those insecure "who-the-f#$%-am-I-and-what-the-f#$%-am-I-doing-here" days.   However, the tune has its moments and there is a snippet of lyric that I am particularly fond of. Although musically it's almost an exact copy of Steely Dan's Doctor Wu, I still like the major-minor shift back and forth and I can not see the piece without this particular part. I also still like the lyrics: Of all the books I've read And all the records I have listened to I don't know how to play this game So won't you give me back my name And let me solve the troubles I have caused you   In case you hadn't noticed, I am a sucker for words, and romance, as corny as it may appear. I vigorously believe in love and all the terrible things it brings you. At least the five lines above reflect some of the insecurity and, er, insecurity that I felt at that particular time in my life...   My doctor says that I am doing much better now!   Thank you for listening!   Paper and vinyl.   Hilmar Leujes no 5:47 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://dailypianopieces.com/?powerpress_embed=983-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> DPP111 – Hostation http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp111-hostation/ http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp111-hostation/#comments Tue, 24 Jul 2012 13:00:58 +0000 hilmarleujes http://dailypianopieces.com/?p=981

DPP108 – How Many Keys

So, how many keys are there on a piano? Well, typically a piano is fitted with about 473 keys. 52 white keys 36 black keys 12 major keys 12 minor keys 144 modal keys 144 tone-clock keys 72 or so miscellaneous, pentatonic, Japanese, arabic and whatnot. 1 key to lock the darn thing up.

A good sized grand piano can, on a clear day, easily hold 68296 keys, but a definite number has yet to be set. It is a fact that an average household has about has about 34 keys (19 of those aren't in use, because no one can remember what they were for). Therefore, if you dress up on a sunday night and go to your local auditorium of average size, remember not to forget your keys, and get the entire audience to empty their pockets and hand in their keychains... Even if everyone brought all of them, a sold-out 2,000 seater concert hall would barely have enough keys to sufficiently cover the instrument. You could of course ask the orchestra members and the conductor to chip in, but that is peanuts compared to what the piano can withstand. I heard a story once from a baby grand, yes a baby grand, and she told me that "with good flooring and enforced legs" she could "hold well up to 341,755 keys, no questions asked", so the sky is the limit I would think.   Thank you for listening and please share!   Wings and claims...

A short introduction to the soul. We grew up hearing a lot of different styles of music and with every style we were fed there was a wide array of anecdotes and history lessons on the what, where, why and how of the music. The daily chore of washing dishes with dad became its own world of wonders where we would hang out with the biggest stars, be flies on the wall during classic recordings and hear everything there was to know about music in general and the twentieth century pop, rock and rhythm 'n blues in particular. Needless to say we started our own band. Well, my brother started it with some classmates and the kid next-door who had a drum kit. They didn't have a bass player and so, twelve years old, I became a bass player with my Yamaha PSS-270 keyboard which I had bought for my birthday and a couple of months allowance. We had Ronald on drums, Martijn (I think that was his name) on guitar, my brother on alto saxophone and me on bass. The first song we did was a rickety version of Oh When The Saints. I believe we also did a twelve bar blues at on point. We didn't last very long, but it was a wonderful beginning of a career in rock music! A couple of years later a friend of my brother, inspired by the Blues Brothers movie, started a  soul band, called the Straight Soul Band. I was on keyboards in the first rendition and we actually had some gigs. After a few years, when everyone went to university and I was still in high school, they replaced me, but I was still welcome to fill in when the Henk, the keyboardist, or Maarten, the bass player, couldn't make it. Straight Soul Band 2.0 had a lot of gigs (with, and without me) until it was time for other things. Jump forward a couple of years to what was basically Straight Soul Band 3.0, but with a new concept. My involvement at that point wasn't as a player, but as an arranger. The name had changed to Atlantic Kings. No more intermingling of funk and disco classics, but only pure, uncut soul, mainly from the stables of the original Atlantic and Stax labels from the sixties and early seventies. I arranged everything meticulously, including every error and minor glitch from the original recordings, although I have to confess that I tended to put in a few notes of my own here and there. The band needed an intro, Stax-style, and I was happy to provide it. They already had Turn Me Loose in the original version, which is an actual song, so that couldn't be used. Today's piano piece is that intro tune, played out a little bit. Thank you for listening! Memphis horns and Soul stew!

After weeks of pondering, publishing posts, posting polls, pinning pretty pictures on Pinterest, penning personal prose, proudly printing poorly painted pointers pouncing public people (probably), pipping pips, peeping peeps and playing piano pieces, I decided to present you the very first song I ever wrote. Yes, with vocals and everything. Called The Fatman, I wrote it when I was thirteen and although you would expect it to be a direct descendant from Randy Newman's Fatman (and there is a bit of Mama Told Me Not To Come in it), the actual origin lies in the first rhyme: In the morning he wakes up He goes downstairs and warms a steak up It is an attempt to do something about the wake up/make-up line you hear in so many songs. Burt Bacharach and Hal David's I Say A Little Prair For You is the most famous one. I just got a little agitated by the lazy rhymers and decided to make fun of it. The unfolding story then speaks for itself of course. From that moment he'll be eatin' all day 'Cause he's the Fatman and some people say that   He's the fattest man in the universe An elephant to him is just a puny curse He'll die being the fattest man And therefore he's famous and I'm his fan   Everywhere he goes he causes delay He is stuck in a door almost ten times a day He doesn't fit in a bus and he'll derail a train Cause he's the Fatman and most people say that   He's the fattest man in the universe An elephant to him is just a puny curse He'll die being the fattest man And therefore he's famous and I'm his fan   He only goes to MacDonald's 'cause of its large entree Two to four hours, that's how long he will stay He's the best customer and he don't have to pay 'Cause he's the Fatman and all people say that   He's the fattest man in the universe An elephant to him is just a puny curse He'll die being the fattest man And therefore he's famous and I'm his fan And therefore he's famous and I'm his fan   Needless to say, I had a lot to learn about lyrics :-)   Thank You For Listening!   Centipedes and Earworms!   P.S.

July 12, 2012 -- After years in of working in the pop, jazz and theatre branche, composer Hilmar Leujes decided it was time to set his creative output free and begin a podcast where he writes and records a brandnew piece of piano music every day. Since the first episode in the beginning of april he has already recorded well over one hundred piano instrumentals and episode 100 is scheduled for July 13th. "Yeah, I know it's a friday", Leujes says laughingly, "but quite an inspirational one! Who wouldn't want to make a tune for such a burdoned date!?" The way the composer goes about recording these episodes is controversial to say the least. "Because I come across so many different piano's when touring and rehearsing, I always take a moment or two to get to know the instrument. Through the years I have come to know that every piano has its own character and therefore inspires different kinds of playing and music," Leujes explains, "at first I started out just pushing the record button on my iPhone and publish whatever came out. After a while I wanted a bit more quality, so I purchased a stereo microphone that I can plug directly into my iPhone and record that way. I also bought an app, which is specifically made for high-end recordings, so now I can create a fade-in and fade-out and make the audio a little bit louder. Other than that there is no editing at all. If there are children playing in the background, or there is a soundcheck going on, you'll hear it on the podcast. Still, I do aim for that moment of piece and quiet. Oh, and you do get the occasional squeeky pedal or noisy piano-bench." Apart from the podcast, Daily Piano Pieces relies heavily on its blog at dailypianopieces.com and on social media. Every episode is listed in several LinkedIn groups for pianists and composers and goes directly to his twitter followers, aswel as Facebook and several other social bookmarking sites. "It isn't called the music-business for nothing, you know?" Hilmar clarifies, "Years ago, I was at a convention in Los Angeles where a friend of mine mentioned that she was on MySpace about eight hours a day, which I thought incredible, but now I understand you have to win your potential fans over one at a time." At his website he writes an accompanying article for every piano piece he delivers. Sometimes it's just a few paragraphs on how the music came into existance, sometimes a full songlyric for the tune and sometimes just a thought or insight that sprang to mind during recording. "First and foremost I try to keep things fresh for my audience, so if I do a particularly sad piece of music, I like to write a positive message to keep the balance, although it could just aswell be a few lines of prose or something quite absurd and abstract. It all comes from the same source in the end." So, what's up for episode 100? "Well, I started posing questions on Facebook and Twitter about fifty episodes ago and got a lot of wild ideas in return. anything from flashmobs and lipsyncs all the way to playing 100 pianos whilst riding a donkey... I am not entirely sure yet, but I think it may just involve skydiving with a ten foot grand, playing 100 pieces of music during free-fall whilst doing a selfportrait in oilpaint of me riding a piano-eating donkey." Perhaps he will. How long will he keep this going? "I've been doing this for about thirty years without recording a single note, which is approximately eleven thousand episodes, so I don't see any reason not to do eleven thousand more. It has been a wild ride so far and it's getting bigger every day!" It seems he has only just begun.

Also happy birthday Sylvester Stallone, Geoffrey Rush, Anke Kuypers and all other people who had their birthday, today, yesterday or any other day of the year.

Have you ever wondered what your world would be like if everything went right? If everything went exactly as planned? Would you plan it? There are a couple of rules to goalsetting and goalgetting, as most of us already know. In a nutshell: 1. Go to a secluded place, empty your head, breathe and start writing (drop out, turn off and tune in) 2. First write about what and where you are now and how you feel about it 3. Then write about what and where you want to be 4. Think biggest 5. No, bigger still! 6. Put yourself in the position where everything has already happened 7. Feel and experience it as being real (how do you feel?) 8. Fill in the gaps (ie. take action, ie. do at least one tiny thing that takes you in the general direction) 9. Bob's your uncle Be carefull of realism! I heard a quote from actor Will Smith who said something like "Realism is the most certain route to leading a mediocre life". It is not the inability to think big thoughts, or dream big dreams that prevents us from getting where we want to be, but the feeling of overwhelm when we try to oversee the entire route to our destination. The fear of doing something which doesn't have an immediate return on investment (of time or resources), is in such a way imprinted in our lives that we'd rather do no nothing and know where we're going (nowhere), than do just one thing each day to get the ball rolling. If you are a writer, write one word. If you are a composer, compose one note. If you are an aspiring motivational speaker, say one aspiring motivational word! Personally I seem to have the most trouble with steps one through eight. Other than that, I am on a roll! ;-) Licorice and nuts Hilmar Leujes no 3:22 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://dailypianopieces.com/?powerpress_embed=771-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> DPP090 – Scenic Route http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp090/ http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp090/#comments Tue, 03 Jul 2012 21:50:40 +0000 hilmarleujes http://dailypianopieces.com/?p=745

I have been listening to podcasts and radiodocumentaries for the past eight years or so and it has not only brought me enormous gratification in my quest for eternal knowledge, it has also made me not worry about traffic jams and other travel slowers. Why? If you're not traveling as fast as you think you need to, you have more time to listen and to learn and experience new things. Seriously. Since listening to informative, fun, new stuff (and old, I have thoroughly enjoyed all episodes of the Goonshow!) I have repeatedly caught myself slowing down more and more to be able to hear the end of a podcast or show. As I said, just a little tip to make every day life that much more enjoyable!

It's actually part of a songcycle, This tune, dear friends, was originally called (in Dutch) Summer Stays. It was a duet about a holiday love affair, wherein the lovers sing about how much they want summer to last forever. It's actually part of a songcycle, where the male character in another song confesses to having had the affair (DPP064 - Whlie my heart breaks) and in yet another song drives back to the place where it all happened to re-experience the feeling one more time (DPP - Midsummernight). I wrote it for consideration as Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest. For those of you who don't know what that is; it is a contest, with songs, for European coutries. Quite the event. ABBA won it in 1974 for Sweden with the song Waterloo. A year later the Netherlands won with the brilliant Ding-a-Dong (not to be confused with Chuck Berrie's My Ding-a-Ling from 1972). As I said, it used to be quite the event. About twenty countries would gather in one spot (generously provided by the winning country of the previous year). There was a large orchestra which was actuallly playing, and there were actual songs, made by actual composers (give or take a Dong or two). I still vividly remember those evenings. You would invite friends over for drinks and nibbly and everyone would have their piece of paper with all the countries and their songs (most of which were in the native language of the country, give or take a Ding, or a Waterloo, or most winning songs, come to think of it) neatly scribbled down. You could give points to the songs you liked, up to twelve, but be careful! You could only give them out once! At the end of the evening each country's professional jury would phone in their list of twelve favourites in English and French: Germany, one point; Allemagne, un pointe, and so on, although the why of the English- and French language both being needed escapes me. Why not Spanish and Greek? Or German and Hungarian? As if the good people of Germany speak any French!? This is, of course, the old Europe, where you had a bit of Western Europe and a whole chunk of communist we knew as Russia (with a dash of Poland and Czechoslovakia et all). Nowadays Europe consists of no fewer than 50 countries and states, all of whom are dying to take part in the contest. So for the past decades there were two semi-finals and the actual event, plus the introduction of computerised beats and sounds. I mays sounds like a computerised old fairy, but for me the romance has completely gone. That and since all the new Eastern European countries all started to only give each other points, we haven't stood a chance. Or is it just the horrible taste in music we Dutchies have when deciding what to send to the next contest? You see, for some reason (money), the general public has been given the impression that it is their opinion that should count when making such a decision. Don't get me wrong, I am all for democracy and public opinion and all that. But when you let the general public phone and text in their favourite when they can chose from three or four crappy songs, the outcome will always be the song that is most middle-of-the-road and therefore the song with the least character. There are exceptions, of course, Amandamaganamanjanalabamalamadingadong (not to be confused with Little Richard's A wop bop-a-lu a whop bam boo), which was not middle-of-the-road, but it wasn't anything else either. Good drummer though ;-) Anhywhays, I did not send it in for consideration of the general public. I performed it once with the ever wonderful Laura Jansen and Tim Eijmaal. And today, for you.

We rented one of those tiny beach cabins for the summer. They aren't actually cabins, but closets with two deckchairs and a curtain that protects you from the wind. And there was a lot of wind around today, but we'll get to that in a moment. The nice thing from our primitive little shelter is that it is right next to the playhouse where the children can do their children-y stuff, while we enjoy cappuccino's and wifi. I would like to say that it was there that I thought of today's piece, but that is just not true. I would also like to say that I invented soup. After our little excursion it was time for to pack my things and go to, you guessed it, the beach. Again. Only this time some twelve miles south of where we were. I had to fill in on bass for a colleague in a Bigband called The Bokito Bigband. It is rather strange to stroll down the beach in your black suit, with a bassguitar on your back, dragging a 400w amplifier behind you through the sand. I would like to show a picture, and the thought crossed my mind, but there was too much wind and too much hassle. I would also like to show a picture of how I invented soup. The gig was fine, although sightreading in gailforce winds is somewhat challenging. Nice pizza's though. No soup. Very big thank yous for the donations! They really help to keep things going and growing. I am still not sure whether to put some sort of advertizing on the site, but I really don't want to. If you have any thoughts on the matter I would love to hear about them! Thank you for listening! Be nice, eat soup!

You see, a very big part of children's play seems to be about investigating boundaries and a lot of those boundaries exceed or at least come very close to what your ears can stand. And it should, of course. We've all done it, if we may believe our parents (but then, they also made us believe in Santa). From what I know of parenting (we have three children, or rather, they have us), I have come to this conclusion: Procreating can lead to serious hearing problems. Consider that a warning. Oh, and another one: Procreating can lead to involuntary procrastination. It is one thing to set yourself a goal of creating and recording a new piece of music every day, but the execution is, although seemingly easy, a difficult task when you have your house and garden full of offspring... Still, watching Benthe and Madelief play as loud as they could, I went all goo-ey and they were laughing and smiling on the top of their lungs as I played today's piano piece.

Yes, there was a lot of being in love going on in those days. Not necessarily for the right reasons, but then again, all is fair in love and songwriting. I was a free spirit and there were a lot of songs to be made, so I would find myself falling for all kinds of girls. Not that they ever fell back, but that wasn't afterall the objective. I needed a muse and whoever fit the terms and conditions of my being in love with them (ie. not knowing about it and being slightly amused and bewildered when I presented them with my latest creation in their name), would be the immediate object of my affection for at least the time it took me to write and record a song, which could take as long as a day or two. Today's episode of daily piano pieces is one of those songs. Originally called Dear Alex, and originally sung by Arto Boyadjian, who could hit the high C. It wasn't actually that high a C, but an octave below that, but my voice had broken earlier that month so there weren't that many notes I could reach. Or hearts for that matter. Dear Alex herself was not amused, of course, but I didn't mind. By the time the recording was done I was already moving forward to Marguerite, also in 12/8th, with one of my personal favorite lines of all time: Passionate beavers, with trees of love-fevers, are building a dyke in the river of romance and fun. This might be a lovesong, but there's more to come... But that, my friends, is a whole different same story. Thank you for listenening. Passionate indifference!

Today I was listening to an excellent album of a friend of mine, Tom Beek. His album, Big Time, is a wonderful example of musical excelence. A nine piece band consisting of the cream of the crop of musicians in the Netherlands, many of whom I went to see as often as I could when I was a teenager, idolizing (and secretly recording) them many an evening, which was thoroughly analized in the aftermath. "Oh, his licks are sooo outside!..." Tom Beek was already a great saxophone player then and he grew up to be an even better saxophone player, but also an inspiring blogger, speaker and social media expert. Big Time is one of those albums I would have had on manual repeat on my walkman twenty years ago (remember the Bic-ballpoint-pen-rewind-function on the cassette walkman?). So what does that make me? First and foremost a composer, I am happy to say. I studied bassguitar and composition and the piano has always been my closest musical friend, apart from my brain. I just really enjoy the plethora of sounds you can get from a piano and, although I tend not to use it while composing, it never ceases to inspire, amuse and surprise me when I start to play...

Until a few moments ago it didn't have a name at all. Later on in this post I shall reveal the true origin of the name Dixie Pearl, but first a little annecdote on naming tunes. There was a masterclass with John Scofield I went to some eons ago. For those who don't know who he is: John Scofield is a jazz guitar player who used to play with Miles Davis (Miles Davis is a trumpet player who used to play with Charlie Parker, who is a saxophone player who used to play with Max Roach, a drummer who played with Thelonious Monk, piano, Dizzie, Louis etc.) and who, John that is, made a whole of albums under his own name with complex jazzrock in the early years and more easy going groove jazz for the past fifteen years or so. At our school we had a lot of fanatical German students, most of them very talented musicians, and it was one of those who, with a very strong German accent, asked "But mister Scofield, how you come up with these excellent titles for your songs, they are so deep!?" to which mister Scofield replied, rather indifferently, "Oh, well, I don't. My wife usually comes with the titles, and that's fine by me." You see, a title can be anything, especially with instrumental music. Anyone remember Lick My Lovepump by Spinal Tap? A Mach-piece. As for today's title; Dixie Pearl is the name of the newborn baby daughter of the singer of the band Kings of Leon, a very trending topic at the moment. I am not particularly advocating their music or anything, but it's always nice to welcome someone into our little world. So, with a very strong Dutch accent: Welcome Dixie Pearl, have a wonderful life! Perhaps you could invent a cure for navelfluff. And to her parents: Congratulations and good luck with the broken nights and everything! Daipers and little pink mice!

Growing up I never had the slightest doubt in my mind that I would be a musician. I studied all music I could find and analized every chord and melody I found remotely interesting. As expected I went to the conservatory of music and went on studying and learning about arranging and composition. Being a student I enlisted in a fraternity and the one I chose was quite envolved in music and musical theatre. Being there I participated in musical renditions of the wizard of Ozz, which I re-orchestrated and translated with a friend. I also played the lion. Every day after school I went to the franternity and worked until closing time (03.00 am) to get everything perfect. It was a wonderful experience! The next year I met Paul. We did Jungle Book, for which I wrote three new songs and part of the script. That year was also the first year of a national student song contest. Of course we sent in a song. It was a song about a flashback to a holiday-romance somewhere in Brittany, France. In hondsote, the lyrics are rather obvious and studenty, but tihe melody is still quite stong. It was called "Midsummernight" (in dutch) and , what you'll be hearing today is this song, or at least the melody and harmony. Thanks to everyone involved in writing the songlyrics (Paul van Egmond, Sophie Blussé and Fleur de Weger) and enjoy the longest day of 2012, which has been rather dark and thundery here... As for the contest; some bloke named Guus Meeuwis won and became one of the biggest dutch recording artists with hits like "kdeng, kdeng"! Thank you for listening! Bonfires and coq au vin!

I can't recall the first time I heard Pet Sounds, or Friends, or the any of the other great albums by (dare I say it?) Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys(!). What I can say is that his music still has a humongous impact in my musical life. It tought me about melody and harmony, instrument choice and vocal arrangements. The won- won-won-wonderful world of Brian Wilson's music is very present in my work. I remember my father explaining how Brian used substitute bassnotes to create different colors, which of course I immediately implemented in my writing and to great effect. You can create a feeling of über-major if you combine a V with a I in the bass (ie. G/C) and ultimate suspence with a IV with a V in the bass. Or lead the listener to another world with a V/iv combination. Discovering that was magical! Therefore today I celebrate and thank Brian Wilson for his music and my father for playing and explaining it to me. Well, happy 70th birthday Brian! Smile!

I even had written a sing-along for which the whole audience would hold headphones to one ear, singing: We are the children of the universe And we live on planet earth So we all must make a stand Live tomorrow hand in hand... Together How corny is that!? I thought it was hilarious. That was going to be the grand finale. The rest of the program would consist of either lookalike- or soundalike artists and each would have a song, written by me, in their own genre. Needless to say it didn't go as planned, or hoped even. The guy who would do Prince was in jail, there is apparently no Brian Wilson look- or soundalike, and the guy I asked to do Frank Sinatra wanted to be paid $1000 and no rehearsal, so I ended up with only Joni Mitchell, who was excellent! This is the song I wrote for Frank, full bigband, although they cancelled an hour before the show, so we had to do it with a quartet.

It may have looked like a big chance But now it doesn’t make much sense What’s there to trust when you have lost The innocence around you   We were playing out in the open field Sweet persuasion, yes, you’re so good to me We were making love, but suddenly All what was so good to me Was not what it appeared to be You were a bit too close to me To me   So there you have it I know it could have been so great but what’s to say Should I have waited Or is it like they say in France That there are differend kinds of romance And that you don’t learn how to make love in a day I was enchanted by her beauty The answers lay before me Somehow I doubt that it was innocent childsplay What’s more, I don’t think I’d have waited anyway       Hilmar Leujes no 3:31 <iframe width="320" height="24" src="http://dailypianopieces.com/?powerpress_embed=519-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=default" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> DPP070 – Children’s Story http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp070/ http://dailypianopieces.com/dpp070/#comments Wed, 13 Jun 2012 13:53:09 +0000 hilmarleujes http://dailypianopieces.com/?p=507

Not just our children, but all the children in the world. Particularly those in troublesome areas, warzones, children subjected to childlabour and whatever other horrors some of them have to endure on a daily basis. I cannot for the world imagine what they are going through, but if it's any concolation; I have to endure my children on a daily basis... eh... Anywho, I set myself to work, as one does on these occasions. Of course my dear wife expected a tearjerker of epic proportions, but being me, I couldn't do it. I mean, how would you feel being a child in the worst of circumstances, enduring all sorts of terrible things, on a daily basis, not enough to eat, dirty water, no school, a bitchy big sister, uncomfortable shoes, a fly on your lip and then this guy Hilmar comes along with a bit of music to brighten up the day and what does he bring you? A tearjerker of epic friggin' proportions!? I would think not thankyouverymuch. That would be torture. So what to do? What to play for the little buggers? And for all the other children in the world. Actually, if you know me at all you know that I love and enjoy my children very, very much [the editor]. A long time ago, when my eldest daughter was about two, I saw a clip on tv of a little boy, four years old, in Africa somewhere, who spent the larger part of everyday collecting bottles and cans which he then took to a town five miles away in exchange for a tiny bit of money with which he could then buy a tiny bit of food for himself and his little sister and walk the five miles back. There is your tearjerker, right there. I still think of him from time to time as we wallow in riches and too much of everything. Today's piece is dedicated to that boy, and every boy and girl like him who are in constant struggle for survival and do not get the chance to be children, to fantasize, to play and dream. Like my children can, for which I am eternally grateful. I decided to do a children's story in music. What the story is about is for you to imagine. If you think of one I would love to hear about it or read it! Thank you for listening and please set yourself a goal today to do one thing to make a difference in this world.

The first one I did last week somewhere as a piano piece, but this is the actual song. Night Sailing is a song I wrote in 1999 for two friends of mine who had a brief get-together on a sailing trip after having been a couple years earlier. I did a concert version in 2000 where the lovely Laura Jansen sang it, before moving to the USA and becoming a star. What I would like you to do is click on the songs and have listen and tell me what you think. Hence today's title Be Good To Me. But honest aswell. I know I haven't been trained as a singer, I am a composer, but I do like to perform and there will be a point where I am going to do DailyPianoPieces concerts and I want to make actual songs of some of the pieces. So there, all vulnerable and all that, but it has to be done. You might say that the music for todays piano piece reflects a teaspoon of insecurity in a river of doubt which flows into an ocean of fulfillment and happiness. But then again, you might aswell not say a thing and just listen.

Okay, this analogy doesn't do justice to the whole excercise. It is a friendly game, contrary to for instance tabletennis. Pingpong is pure evil compared to soccer. The deathrate at a tabletennistournament is shockingly high. There have been cases of multiple fatalities during a single round, and those werent even doubles. Compared to that soccer looks like sweet fondling on one of those hot afternoons when the children are away and things got slightly out of hand, but not too much, the neighbours might hear you... I love football, the peace and quiet in the streets during games, you can go skinnydipping in the fountain at the mall without anyone noticing, just saying. Therefore today a tribute to the hosting countries of this years European Soccer championship, you guested it right, Poland and the Ukraine.

Folks. And the first person to reply was none other than Riccardo Distefano himself! Riccardo lives in Ontario, Canada and he is a huge sports fan and (just by replying he proved this:) an overall nice guy! Go check him out and follow him on twitter @RicD55. Well, what did he reply? You may wonder... Drumroll please Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr "Linus and Lucy" The wellknown themetune for the wellknown cartoonseries Peanuts, in A flat. Or a house, depending on what you believe in. Of course I took his advise at heart and went to work, but this being a series on new music, or at least new enough, I could just sit down and redo the original piece, which is fine and done so I had to come up with something new. Here is what I did: I figured; If the original piece is called Linus and Lucy, it may well be written from Linus' point of view which is of course masculine (with a blanket) so why don't I take Lucy's take on the subject and make it a little more feminine (though slightly bitchy). I started out by changing the meter from 4/4 into 3/4 which makes it a little more round and then, after an intro which almost quotes the original, I changed the key from A flat to its sister F minor, which I the changed back to major, so it's kind of double major-ish in a way, like, yeah. (I know what you're thinking; isn't it better to change the lock from A flat?, but that wasn't the purpose here). After that I just read books and books on the psychology of Lucy and her place in the comic, and in history and everything on the archetypal bigger sister syndrome and accepting the blanket in your life and whole theses on peanuts not actually being nuts (just acting funny). Long story short; go listen! Thanks to Riccardo and share if you liked it please! Thank you for listening!

I try just about anything to find and engage likeminded souls for this steadily growing podcast. Facebook, G+, Stumble Upon, LinkedIn, and of course Twitter. It was on Twitter yesterday that I sent out a tweet about my first ever concert being a Randy Newman concert (although I wasn't actually born yet, but present none the less) and my last concert this year also being a Randy Newman concert. The funniest thing happened; A few minutes after posting that tweet I received a notification that Randy Newman had retweetet my tweet, which is very social and very kind and I happily replied by recording another tune and posting it. DPP062b - Randy RT After doing so and getting kind remarks from friends on Facebook and walking proudly, wandering if people could tell that I had been retweeted by Randy Newman just by looking at me, I climbed in the birdsnest to take a look at Randy's profile (see that we're on a firstname basis now?). Ignorence is bliss, people, because of course mister Newman doesn't have a twitter account. The kind person calling himself @randymusician with a picture and everything is a wellmeaning fan who just likes to tweet all kinds of stuff about the composer and has a profile wich says "Keep on create beautiful music Randy".  Wonderful set of words. A little more investigation revealed that there are numerous Twitter automation tools around, which let you automatically retweet anything mentioning any set of keywords, which means you don't even have to be active to keep it going, or social for that matter... So, @randymusician, You Had Me for a moment. I still thank you for retweeting, automated or not (I don't know), it felt great for the moment! I am now going to set my twitter account to retweet anything mentioning "you" or "had" or "me"...   Keep on create beautiful tweets everybody!

It allowed you to create a ringtone made out of notes and rests and you were able to set the duration for each note and rest. The sound was the old beepy noise we so fondly remember. Of course I set myself to composing a whole bunch of ringtones, although you could save only one at the time. Today's piece is based on one of those ringtones from that happy monophonic period in my life. I was thoroughly enjoying my ringtones when I met my spouce and when we became a couple, technology couldn't stay behind. I hurried to the cellphone grocer and got myself a shiny polyphonic unit whith duo-tone capability and a short while later I found a multi-timbral polyphonic ringtone composer with different sounds and many colors in the gooseberry bush. Needless to say we had many sleepless nights with our newborn phone and newborn baby... Nowadays we can record just about anything we want to and set it as ringtone for our busy little lives with our busy little children! Happy days and busy nights :-) Let's have a dingdong!

That reminds me of the time I was on a sailing trip with the boys choir of Ottava off the coast of San Fortissimo, the only loud island in the Piano Keys, where everybody's extra strong. I was a healthy young kid, about thirteen and a half, and I had a very promising future in front of me as a soloist soprano in the Ottava boys choir. Life was swell! We were riding high, or sailing, to be presice. But then Dissaster Struck!  It had been a flat sea all afternoon but there was a sudden keychange and the sea became sharp! Very sharp. Almost D, and everything started accelerating, we went to the bridge, and back again and suddenly everything went black... It turns out we hit dark waters and the sea was infested with bass. Black bass to be exact, of the largemouth family. Long story short: A whole school of largemouth bass accidentally found their way into the boat and the Ottava Boys Choir dropped a couple of octaves and became the Ottava Bassa Big Men With Big Mouths Choir, or The Broken Voices. So, in dedication to the boys and their angelic pitch, and my own sweet soprano: Remember I'm sorry I broke you.

Incidentally; the documentary still needs to be finished and and is now open for crowdsourcing on Kickstarter. Please click the link to see the promovideo and perhaps make a pledge (it's all explained on the site). Musically todays tune is the first thing that crawled into my head when I was reading the article. If you think it sounds a little weary, that's probably the sadness I feel for all those people who can't or don't know how to persue their dreams. Thank you for listening!

DPP054 – I Get Along With My Baby

The melody of the verse has been lingering through my brain for years. Strangely as a male vocal although the range is bizarre; within the first two bars it goes up from d3 to b4, nearly two octaves, which is really not done in songland. It should be doable for a trained tenor, though. Oh
