About "Elections Have Consequences":

Trump as President motivated me to do this.  "Elections Have Consequences" is made up of four sections.  My idea was to have a "pleasant" sound with an undercurrent of unease.  It's a technique that PBS's Frontline uses very effectively with their underscores (especially when combined with Will Lyman's VO).  The third section features the English horn while other sections have me using extended techniques on flute.  Guitar (manipulated) is used throughout.

About "Make Music Great Again":
If America is going to be great again, why not the music?! This has alto flute, English horn, and a bunch of other sounds.

About me:
I'm an oboe, English horn, flute, and alto flute player who studied with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra back in the 1970s and 80s.  I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1977.  I'm also a recording engineer and am the sole performer of all sounds other than any loops used.  I have sampled many of the percussion instruments you hear and then manipulate the sounds to taste. In addition to doing things like this, believe it or not, I'm a croquet professional!!! WHOA! Bob Kroeger's Croquet Website for TMI on croquet!
