Raindrops rise, plummet as Teardrops plunge, soar in sync with Rooftops burnt, frozen in Crystal coil Teardrops rise, plummet as Dewdrops dive, soar in sync with (Soaring) Rooftops burnt, frozen in Crystal clockwork Raindrops rise, plummet as (And plummet) Teardrops plunge, soar in sync with (Soar in sequence) (Soaring) Rooftops burnt, frozen in (And frozen) Crystal coil (Crystal coil) (Crystal coil) Teardrops rise, plummet as (And plummet) Dewdrops dive, soar in sync with (Soar in sequence) (Soaring) Rooftops burnt, frozen in (And frozen) Crystal clockwork ..... (Spoken Word) ..... C’est un trou de verdure où chante une rivière, Accrochant follement aux herbes des haillons D’argent ; où le soleil, de la montagne fière, Luit : c’est un petit val qui mousse de rayons. Un soldat jeune, bouche ouverte, tête nue, Et la nuque baignant dans le frais cresson bleu, Dort ; il est étendu dans l’herbe, sous la nue, Pale dans son lit vert où la lumière pleut. Les pieds dans les glaïeuls, il dort. Souriant comme Sourirait un enfant malade, il fait un somme : Nature, berce-le chaudement : il a froid. Les parfums ne font pas frissonner sa narine ; Il dort dans le soleil, la main sur sa poitrine, Tranquille. Il a deux trous rouges au côté droit. ~ Le Dormeur Du Val - Arthur Rimbaud, 1870

I know you’re trying Everything and nothing always haunts me I know you’re trying, I know you’re trying Waiting for your moment to fall on me I saw you trying, I saw you trying Hurts so bad, I don’t know what you want from me You know I’m trying, you know I’m trying And now we’re hanging on by a heartbeat You know I’m trying, I was always trying Acting like it’s nothing, such a bore I saw the truth and I just can’t ignore You’re trying to hold the heart that you once tore Say I tried to give my best before You wouldn’t have the chance to give me more You’re only one step closer to the door Maybe if you let me be your lover Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother Telling me that basically you’re not looking out for me Everything is true to me, never words where you would see Maybe if you let me be your lover Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother I’ve been hating everything, everything that could have been Could have been my anything, now everything’s embarrassing Maybe if you let me be your lover Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother Telling me that basically you’re not looking out for me Everything is true to me, never words where you would see Maybe if you let me be your lover Maybe if you tried, then I would not bother I’ve been hating everything, everything that could have been I’ve been hating everything, everything that could have been I’ve been hating everything, everything that could have been Could have been my anything, now everything’s embarrassing

about

On September 8th, 2023, Ridgeway Records releases Seven Shades of Violet (Rebiralost), the stunning debut jazz album from San Francisco based pianist, keyboardist, and composer, Michael Echaniz, in the wake of a successful fight against stage four lymphoma cancer. Well over an hour in length, this epic conceptual work features the core contributions of producer, bassist, and vocalist Jeff Denson, drummer and percussionist Dillon Vado, and primary vocalists Danielle Wertz and Molly Pease with an array of special guests, including features from saxophonist Dann Zinn, percussionist Silvestre Martinez, and the strings of Friction Quartet. Symmetrically constructed, the nine original compositions and two arrangements feature a wide variety of synesthetic moods and acoustic-electric textures, drawing inspiration from mathematics, history, Basque heritage, and existential crisis. Accessibly melodic, rhythmically complex, melancholic, introspective, cathartic, often maximalist, Seven Shades of Violet presents a bold contribution to the futurist, contemporary jazz scene.

Seven Shades of Violet (Rebiralost) is made possible through the Musical Grant Program, which is administered by InterMusic SF, and supported by the Clarence E. Heller Charitable Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation; and was supported by New Music USA’s Creator Development Fund in 2022- 23.
