"It's In Your Hands" Satie's Melody & The Power of God
Saturday Matinee Music Video
SATURDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “It’s In Your Hands + Scenes from Entre’Acte + Variations on Satie”—
—Our hands have power. We can perform great feats like build a house, write a symphony, whack a ball into the outfield, or find a cure for a disease. It's in my hands but God directs me. This is also a song about the love, resources, and skills that God empowers me with. I do not have to be afraid to take risks with these skills and abilities, and I am thankful that God gave them to me in the first place—that is my edge.
Musically this song is a rock-tango adaptation of Erik Satie’s “Gnosseinnes #1.” I mingled Satie’s melodicism with influences from glam rock, Nuevo Tango, and Astor Piazzolla.
Felipe Torres called my song “elegant” and told me to make it the last track on my album I LIKE THE STREET
.
"All this happened to me because of music."--Erik Satie…The playing instructions for Satie’s “Gnosseinnes #1” are "open your head" and "perform with astonishment." Click below to hear and see my interpretations of these instructions. My video includes scenes from “Entr’acte,” the silent film that Satie appeared in. Meanwhile, what will you do today with the power in your hands, entrusted to you by God?
