Passages Dark and Light

Passages Dark and Light is my first album. It consists of the full soundtrack of the 2nd anniversary episode (4.9) of my podcast What Now with Simo along with variant versions of some tracks.

For this episode I created a more serene version of the theme tune as well as the extended piece “Passages Dark and Light” made up of peaks and valleys. The first and last tracks present two versions of this with just the peaks without the meditative guitar valleys.

The difference is that the opening “Single Peaks Version” features no repeats, whereas the concluding “Extended Peaks Version” includes all the repeats as in that anniversary episode.

“Lovecraft’s Garden” accompanies in the episode my reading of H. P. Lovecraft’s poem “The Garden”, and the reading itself follows the music-only track.

Here is the album on Bandcamp, or you can also listen to it right below (note that there are 11 tracks — you may need to scroll the playlist to see the last one).

An Iceland Symphony is a musical composition of 21 sections involving theatrical elements. Its performance calls for musicians of all ages from the youngest to the oldest.

The full set of sheet music for An Iceland Symphony, Op. 1: A Theatrical Symphony for All Ages is available on Amazon as a hardcover, a paperback, and an ebook.

More compositions coming both in the form of sheet music and recordings.
