Samuel AdamsAssorted Sirens: Carmena Scripta Post Primo Anno Scholae (EP) (August 18, 2007)

Would you like to try our new video/audio player ? (beta!)

A lovely little EP of songs I wrote after my first year of school... they represent a great time of transition and crisis in my compositional style and thought processes around recording. Having been immersed in "classical high art music" and jazz for two semesters (and there was more to come) I found it easy to make music that was needlessly complicated and cumbersome. My conception of "experimental" music had been altered as well, making my minimalist influences much more scant. It was difficult to write good music for a while... this is a collection of good stuff, though.

The first 3 songs feature wide production and this "experimentation" I was speaking of... most of it works pretty darn well. The first track is a sort of Brian Wilson meets Indie bla bla bla... Bob Moog is a freakout section followed by a crooning section... For Brandon is funky in its own little way...

The last three songs are my attempts at scaling back and producing pure songs... June 11, 2005 Song is a lovely little twee ballad... my Tim Buckley influence rears its head in May Term Song... So Long As I Live is a song I am very proud of, and was written after the death of my grandmother that summer.

The album follows a sort of downward arc... denser-densest-dense-sparse-sparser-sparsest... it works nicely for a little EP.

(Please write reviews!!)
