Choice . . .



I perceived the clarinet sample in the program I used to create Incidentally Broken did not have sufficient dynamics to approximate a bass clarinet when played in the lower register. I believe the bassoon sample (utilized in this mix) is more fitting and blends nicer with the remaining instrumentation.

Here. . . give a listen . . .

One In A Million . . .

 . . . from Ruth Underwood (wikipedia.com)

". . .Oh, I was probably one of those rather stiff people from the suburbs - I think some of us did understand, and we kept coming back for more, and more, and more. I remember being very upset when they finally finished their stint at the Garrick Theatre and went back to LA. I felt as if the real heart had gone out of New York City, and I had to get back on with my conservatory music training life, which seemed very dull after this. . . "

“. . . A couple of years ago, when I heard that Frank was ill, I called him up. For 14 years we had no contact at all. He invited me to the house and we enjoyed some really nice visits with each other. Last June ('93) he called and asked if he could sample some of my stuff. I was shocked because I hadn't touched a pair of mallets since March of '77. I ended up practicing for 14 hours, which was all the time I could get together in the context of my life now. I spent four days at Frank's house sampling. This was really a miracle for me - that I could be reunited with him and still have something to offer. . ."
(btw, Ruth is at 2:54)

Critics. . .

. . . they're everywhere.  Possibly even in your chair right now.

That's right.  I would like you to be a critic.  Simply visit http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/rayjozwiak3, listen to the samples, (hopefully buy the album), then login to CD Baby.com and write your own review.  And you can write anything you want!  Tell everyone you love it, hate, find it distasteful, were offended, were bored, danced all night after listening, would never listen to it with a Savignon Blanc.  .  . WHATEVER YOU WANT!   Because, simply because, I would love to hear from you.
