“fruit salad” (themes)

(part of “me want!” song cycle)
(also included in “avalanche” and “honorary berries”)
(“multi-purpose song”)
(a ‘motif’ of sorts)

(the music is free-form)

(after a period of meticulous scoring prior to recording sessions, i started recording ‘fruit’ without having worked the arrangement out in ‘sibelius’)

(the ‘Fruit’ recording sessions took place during a 2-week vacation from JPMorgan in May 2008)

(the song was originally a spoken-word piece scrawled in a black n’ white composition pad i started carrying around with me everywhere during the Winter of 2007/2008)

it was written to entertain certain factions of my family and mock other factions of my family (humor is all a zero-sum game / those who take pleasure in the humor are counterbalanced by those who take offense to the humor)

(one one occasion my parents traveled to disney world without the children (on a “business trip”) and raved of the new wonders + attractions to our eager ears)
