about

Amalgam is so named because the tune is a mixture of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic elements from various jazz standards. You’ll find allusions to Lush Life, Beatrice, Nica’s Dream, Bolivia, and probably some more that I’m forgetting. While writing this song, it struck me as the work of someone slightly unstable, what with all the shifting moods and insistent melody. Maybe it was, as I composed it during a difficult stretch I had while living in Parkville – welcoming a visit from the exterminator, receiving a parking ticket given at a 6-week job that I hadn’t been paid for, preparing for a tough audition, and general life uncertainty. Thankfully that little “quarter-life crisis” is over, and things are looking up!
