Thanks, John! It's an odd sensation to compose and knit together "unvoiced" music that can communicate on a broader level with a "voiced" commentary. By nature of the medium, the written, voiced commentary has to be much more circumspect. And then you let it all loose on the Web - it's as exhilarating as a winter polar bear dip... and as scary as doing it naked!
I am toying with the idea that an ensemble, or even an orchestra, can be created on-line: a theme is uploaded. Then another person records and submits an accompaniment, then another bass or percussion or one or more vocal tracks, or more layers, etc.. It could fun integrating it all. Or it could be music stew!
A nice “two-fer”: music and political commentary. Appreciate the detail that went into both.
