Songseeds (Music in Process)

The following tracks are "sonic sketches" I recorded on the fly on my smart phone. Much of it is improvised. All ambient noises in the background -- hisses, pops, dishes being washed and/or dropped, and most especially, exuberant children (ALL 3 of them) -- are included. My hope is that the music in its most raw and freshest form, will resonate with you. My goal is to record a "Soundtrack for Autumn" that harnesses these Songseeds in time for the Autumnal Equinox of 2019. THANK YOU for your interest and support!

This project began in 2019 as an artistic take on the "telephone game" (a good 2 years before this type of back and forth collaboration became the norm in the age of covid-19). Composer Matthew Hammond sent a live recording of a piano composition as it was still in progress. Artist Ron Gross would receive the mp3 of the recording and then spend 20-30 minutes drawing with crayons as he listened to Matthew's composition. The next day Ron would send a photo of his drawing to Matthew, who would then compose a new piano soundtrack inspired by Ron's drawing. That piece of fresh music would then be recorded and sent back to Ron and this process continued back and forth 14 times resulting in 14 drawings and 14 accompanying songs. To see each drawing in it's full technicolor glory, go to the Art Journal Project page: https://matthewhammondmusic.com/art-journal-project If you are already here, play the first song and scroll below the list of songs for the photo gallery below. Enjoy!
