The Tentative Album Arrangement (7)

nbb.7 = THE SECRETS ALBUM

So I have written a story and broken it up into seven "movements." Melissa Torrent has the whole story and is writing the lyrics. Different musicians will work on different movements. Participants only know what goes on in their movement and will not know the entire story until they hear the whole album. ((( not talking about vocals yet )))


*Tentative Arrangement* {instrumental}

1. THE MANUSCRIPT

2. VERTIGO

7. ON THE HILL

We will record in early November. We have some interesting instruments on this album: bassoon, ocean harp, saw, trombone. I'm so excited already. Winston & Sara have set it in motion with the first movement and I'm already so inspired.

The release of the album will coincide with a performance that contains a theatrical aspect (silent narrative). The event will also be the release of the published story.

NBB.7 THE SECRETS ALBUM

yesterday it was a party and today it's an album. one day there will be an album party that will coincide with the story publication release.

Everything is coming together from the ground up and we will be recording in early November.

The album is based on a story about a husband and a wife. The theme is secrets and the subconscious. The story is broken up into seven movements.

Melissa Torrent has the entire story outline and she is working on the lyrics. Also, Allison Moore and Sara Berger know the whole story. For once it's not just me who will know the whole scope. (I have learned that, with nanobangbang, if I'm the only one who knows the big picture that's a lot of weight on just me).



Contributors are given their movement (portion of the story) to add their unique sounds as textural layers. Participants include: Winston Chapman, David Longoria, Eli Welbourne, Chad Allen, Christine Aprile, Hannah Liddell, Jason Chronis, Spencer Dobbs, Henna Chou, Cari Palazzolo, Stefanie Franciotti, Angeliska Polacheck, Eric Shaefer, Allison Moore, Melissa Torrent, Sara Berger and more(tba).

So the idea is that no one will know the rest of the story until they listen to the entire album. This way each movement will have its own distinct sound, but there will an underlying narrative glue..



The album release will coincide with the publication of the story: Secrets on a Hill.


It's gonna cost money to make this album. Money for recording, money for copies of the album art, money for distribution. Feel free to contribute! We're gonna need it.

Any donations would be appreciated. If people even donate $3, that will count for so much after a while. donate to deena.hyatt@gmail.com Thank you so much. It takes a village...

I believe in the power of mysterious overtones,
