  • Sheet Music + Digital Album

    A print-ready digital PDF book of piano sheet music for all 12* songs from The Cove. Engraved with care in a clean house style developed over the past year, this book contains additional phrasing/articulation/fingering markings that will hopefully aid in the dissection and learning of the tunes if so desired. 31 pages.

    *okay only 11 songs actually have piano in them. No sheet music included for 'sekrit'.

    Note: Bandcamp will be waiving their revenue share on the first Friday of the next 3 months (Friday May 1, Friday June 5, & Friday July 3), so if you are so inclined and happen to think of it, a purchase of sheet music or a CD on those days would be just Awesome500 even more than normal. Overjoyed at your interest in our music, believe me, so no pressure either way!

about

inspired by coffee probably.

this song was written in a frantic afternoon, borne out of a desire to just enjoy the go-to recognizable (hopefully) harmonic vocabulary that blumen has begun to zero in on. rather than trying to break a mold and find new physical patterns, ideas were allowed to be strung along as they flowed out of the hands. references to very old blumen tunes (falling down) and rhythmic structures from mångata are perhaps noticeable.

jazzcore.

pianist richard blumenthal & drummer james knoerl unite to try and confuse each other.

taking cues equally from mathrock, modern modal jazz, and progmetal, but there's no guitars so probably no audience either. ... more
