Music Video: Heideggerdashian

The in-universe sequel to "Depths II" is out now: "Heideggerdashian," a music video directed by Emma He. 

On a musical note, this track, which opens side B of Quartets, is the complement to the closing track, "Kierkegaardashian." They're actually just alternate takes of the same piece, but with the improvised saxophone sections happening in opposite sections. 

I composed "Kierkegaardashian" for The Jazz Gallery Lockdown Sessions, No. 33 back in February 2021; the song is derived from multiple takes of Charlie Parker's improvisations on "Kim" (hence the title), with liberal use of octave displacement to produce the wide-ranging melody of the new song. Andrew Boudreau graciously learned and recorded the piece, originally intended for solo piano, which ended up being the outro credit music for my segment of the Lockdown Session.
