Highlights
Albumlet #2 - "Stick Figures"
|
The second albumlet called "Stick Figures" was released at the beginning of December 2011. It features four new songs about riveting topics such as: one's daily routine, the universe, arguments, and the zombie apocalypse. Like an album, an albumlet strives for its own sound and statement. But rather than spending the time on a full set of twelve(ish) songs, the briefer version allows more albumlets to follow, with different flavors, new concoctions, alternative approaches, and all at a quicker pace to allow for maximum stimulation of your ears. Listen to it (or download it!) at the LWJ bandcamp page... |

Two Weeks of Recording a Song a Day, With Video!
|
Written and recorded in December 2011, these are fourteen "song a day's." Mostly, they were an exercise in composing and trying out different instrument combinations. The songs range from folky to funky to indie to broadway. This video is the eighth "song a day." Some of the videos include brief speeches after the music about how why what and where music. For a YouTube playlist of all fourteen songs, go here... |
"Idea" - From the Bells in the Tower to the Drums in the Studio
|
Idea is a suite of pipe organ "duets" composed, performed, and recorded in the spring of 2011. While at college, Lucas played a variety of instruments, some for just a couple months and some for the whole four years. This piece pulls them all together in a finall hurrah. Included are: carillon, guzheng, drum set, steelpans, and pipe organ. Watching it in full screen with nice speakers or headphones is recommended for maximum enjoyment. |
