Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 This album is comprised of 9 songs all entirely improvised on the piano. Layers were then added after the fact to the improvised recordings. Because they are improvised, these songs come from pure emotion. A variety of feelings are represented and are intended to take the listener on a journey. So close your eyes and let the stories unfold. http://shnabubula.bandcamp.com/album/free-play some preview videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15dRJ-H_wKI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwH-MhM9GWI Quote

ectogemia Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 you and i are gonna have to fight over this title Consider yourself and everything you've ever loved dead. Quote
RoeTaKa Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Bloody love this album, it's a real pleasure to listen to. I know you put like double the amount of work into each song because you had to figure out what you wrote again, great skills. Quote
Red Shadow Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Consider yourself and everything you've ever loved dead. lets put it this way: all of my friends, past and current lovers, family members, and even a few strangers are aware of sam's musical magic. how many people have YOU turned on? ;] anyway as to the album itself, HOLY SHIT SAM, i paid money for this on the merits of Morning Commute and Showtime alone. not to say the other tracks werent beautifully crafted, but the energy in those two really struck me and stuck with me. god, showtime was such a grand way to end this thing Quote
Swann Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Album dropped on Jan 1. By Dec 31 will still be my favorite album of the year. Good stuff, Sam. Your music is such an inspiration. Quote
