NOTES
These four works are from Film Scores, a set of 11 short preludes hoping to find a home with video productions. Gyre Music is sponsoring a contest for who can make the most creative videos using original recordings of the music. rules of the contest are here: http://www.frankwallace.com/video-con....

This recording is made on a 1964 Fleta restored once by Yuris Zeltins in 1992 and again, recently, by Aaron Green.

V. Broome Street for Adam Wallace
While this was written in the first batch in 2011, I wasn’t quite sure about it. I added a repeat and a new ending and realized this is a perfect rendition of the sounds on Broome St. Manhattan where my son just moved. It’s gritty as he likes to say, but really fun and vibrant.

VI. She Looked at Me for Bret Williams
…or did she?! My most recent piece is another set of short guitar solos that I dedicated to Adam Levin, Boston entrepreneurial guitarist, called Clusters. This work is in the same vein but written for Bret Williams, another entrepreneurial guitarist from NYC. In fact, I originally named this piece with an exact description of what it is, Cluster Pluck, but decided it was a bit too racy fro me. I reviewed Bret’s CD eponymously titled The Music of Bret Williams and decided to give him an ironic little response to his lovely music. The [new] title comes from a song/poem of Nancy Knowles used in my song cycle Syzygy:

Born, Again
for my father (and mother)

When
when she
he said
she looked
at me
he said
my life
as I
he said
had known it

ended.

VII. Awakenings for David Isaacs
I met David, and his wife Chelsea, at a GFA about ten years ago. We share many passions, mostly around guitar and song, both of us being married to, and partners with, our singing wives. Yesterday, May 30, 2015, we started sharing fatherhood when Rowan Allan Isaacs was born, at 9.5 lbs I might add! So today I wrote David a piece, something I should have done a long time ago, he being one of my biggest fans. The first chords came out and I said, “No, this isn’t right – it should be bright and happy on this occasion.” Then I remembered our email conversations of the past three weeks, David being scared of what fatherhood would do to his career. I assured him, as he assured me many others had, that it would be a huge boost to his overall energy and output. A totally win/win situation. Nevertheless, Awakenings is about the fear just before the break-through, the dark just before the dawn, ending with that first little tiny ray of sunshine coming over the mountains.

VIII. Pan City for James Knowles and John Knowles
This quirky dynamic little piece is dedicated to all the folks who ran the Arts at the Roger Smith Hotel, back in the day, around 2006-10. My brother-in-law James Knowles is a great artist, but midway through life his wife inherited a small family-run hotel. Jimmy set about re-creating it’s image and infusing the space with vibrant color and life. Part of that effort was the Second Sundays Guitar Series (run by John Olson and me), part the Lab Gallery (run by Matt Semler), and part the in-house social media team run by John Knowles, Adam Wallace and others. Their job, of course, was to document the events as well as create a buzz about the Hotel online. Much of that was video, which became a creative process itself in the hands of such innovative young pioneers.
