4. Tenebrous
October 23, 2008
The Impetus:
Tenebrous was written while in New York for a band called Hibiscus. Originally the band consisted of either Anthony Pinciotti or Diego Voglino on drums, Bennie Lackner on Keys, Andrew Emmer on Bass and myself on tenor. We had a steady run at both the Tap Bar (Knitting Factory) and Butterfly ( in Brooklyn) and we played this tune and others written by myself, Andrew and Bennie. It is a simple song, with only two chords.
The Composition:
The piece goes between I maj and vi minor with a short bit of two part counter point during the into/interlude between the bass and the sax/guitar melody… I wrote the melody by ear after coming up with the two chords, trying to work from mostly triplets.
This track includes Jason Harnell on drums, Leonard Thompson on keys, Joel Peloquin on Guitar and David J. Carpenter on acoustic bass guitar.
