January: City of Reminiscence
Music inspired by stories of NYC seniors.
Talking with seniors in January was really enjoyable for me. I met some really inspiring folks in their 80’s and 90’s. I met them mostly at the Carter Burden Center and the Lenox Hill house in Manhattan, which are both wonderful institutions for seniors in the city. They shared some incredible stories about how life in New York has changed since when they were young, for both the good and the bad. Here’s one story that I loved. One woman I spoke with was 93 and had been a singer since she was 5. She remembered when Rockefeller Center was being built. She performed in a revue at Carnegie Hall one New Year’s Eve sometime in the 50’s. A female comedian was also performing named Belle Barth, known for telling dirty jokes (dirty by 1940’s standards). When she came on the stage to perform her material the police raided Carnegie Hall and detained her for lewd behavior. The woman I spoke to said she remembered seeing police officers along side her in the wings of the stage. Hard to believe, right?
From Wikipedia:
“In 1953, Barth was arrested and fined 25 dollars for her act; several other cases against her were thrown out of court, including one lawsuit for 1.6 million dollars, brought by two schoolteachers who claimed that Barth’s act had corrupted them morally and harmed their health”.
What a different world we live in. (Ahem, Miley Cyrus)
As a side note, the first composition is called Generational, and was inspired by the conversation I had with an African American woman who had also spent most of her life in the Bronx. Her voice can be heard towards the beginning of this piece. It's one of my favorite pieces from the entire series. I love how candidly she speaks about the changes in race, race relations, and changing neighborhoods in NYC.
“I remember growing up and many of the kids in my South Bronx neighborhood wouldn’t venture into Manhattan. Black kids wouldn’t come to Manhattan, not like it is now. You knew you didn’t belong there. And you knew that if you got on the train going north all the white people would get off at 96th street. You didn’t grow up during that time. Now you have a whole lot of white people living in Harlem and north of 96th street. There was like a line of demarcation. You could get on the train, you could count on it: if you were looking for a seat to go to the Bronx…you knew all the white people would get off the train at 96th street, so you stood in front of white people to get off the train. (laughs)…And that was a reality in my growing up."

February: City of Sunlight
Music inspired by conversations with those recovering from alcohol and substance abuse.
The suite of music I wrote in February is called "Sunlight | City". In all honesty, this month was hard. Hard to find people willing to open up to me (a stranger) about addiction, hard to focus on substance abuse as a compositional subject for so many weeks, hard to write music that expresses these ideas in a meaningful way. Drug and alcohol addiction is so incredibly destructive and, unfortunately, so common. I think a lot of people can relate to the stories that were told to me about this subject.
One of the people I talked with was a 44 year old woman who was a mother of 4 young children and who struggles with alcoholism. Alcoholism ran in her family - her earliest memory of being drunk was before she was 10. She was 83 days sober when I spoke to her, but because of her addiction she was separated from her children and husband. She was living through it when I spoke to her - missing her kids, feelings of guilt, failure, anger, etc. But she was on the right track and was hopeful that her sobriety would last this time. I was hopeful too - she seemed really committed to overcoming this. Especially having been separated from her family as a result of her addiction.
One thing that struck me when I spoke to her was how easy it sounded for her to go from being a casual drinker to total alcoholic in just a few short months. It started for her by having a glass of wine each night to relax or "take the edge off" during stressful times a few years ago. Then two glasses, to three, to a glass at lunch and three at night, to two at lunch and four at night, etc. Soon it became wanting alcohol when she woke up and all throughout the day simply to stave off the horrible feelings of withdrawal. For some people, there is no middle ground, and it quickly becomes a physical addiction where your body needs to have it. I am really grateful that this woman shared her insight and experiences with me - and through the recordings and performances, will share it with more people.
Some NYC addiction statistics (from soberpursuit.com):
Their are approximately 386,463 marijuana users, 169,238 people abusing prescription drugs, 63,329 cocaine addicts, 28,741 people using hallucinogens, 16,144 people that use inhalants, and 3,587 heroin addicts who live in New York, New York. It is estimated that 11,491 people will be killed by tobacco, 2,242 people will die from alcohol, 448 lives will be lost to illicit drug use, and there will be 440 deaths due to intoxicated driving this year in New York. There will also be close to 48,786 people arrested for drug charges and around 36,990 DUIs in New York this year.

March: City of Arrivals
Music inspired by the stories of New York City immigrants.
What better place to write music based on the experiences and stories of immigrants? There are more languages spoken in Queens than in the entire rest of the country. The city as a whole speaks more than 800 different languages, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. As residents of NYC, I think we often take that fact for granted. We get used to hearing the world’s languages in our daily commute, or deciding to eat Ethiopian, Chilean, Korean, or Indian street food.
If exposure to the diversity of life is a catalyst for creativity, then it’s no wonder why NYC has been at the forefront of the creative world for so long.
I wrote both pieces for this month after talking to a few NYC public School teachers who were immigrants - one from Equator, the other from the Dominican Republic. I was fascinated by their stories. The individual from the Dominican Republic had very little trouble coming here and becoming a citizen, while the other teacher struggled and finally became a citizen after 15 years. She talked about the endless paperwork, the struggle to learn a new language, the difficulty in meeting people, trusting people, finding a job, and all kinds of other hardships. In the end she created a great life for herself and for her family. When she expressed her joy at being a US citizen, even after all she had been through, it was incredibly moving.
Both teachers can be heard speaking on these recordings.

April: City of Beginnings
Music inspired by conversations with children in NYC.
For the month of April I wrote music based on conversations with children in NYC. I met with several classes of 3rd graders at an elementary school in the Upper West Side, and also with a large group of kids at the Lennox Hill House after school program on east side of Manhattan. In one class, I asked the group of kids how they would describe NYC in one word. One little guy offered this astute observation:
https://soundcloud.com/matt-davis-31/new-york-is-surprising
I wrote music based on all sorts of things these kids said to me. Some funny, some not so much. One young boy thought the best word to describe New York was 'dreams', because, as he said, " 'cause New York City is the place where dreams come true".

May: City of Grace
Music inspired by the stories and lives of religious believers in NYC.
The fifth month of this series was focused on religious believers in NYC. There is no shortage of religious groups here. One day in May I was walking in the Times Square subway station, making a transfer from the A/C line to the 1 train. To do so you have to walk through an underground concourse which connects 7th and 8th avenues. It's a little bit of a drag when you are carrying a guitar and an amp. Anyway, this day, among the busking musicians and people asking for money, there were five different religious groups trying to connect to the passing crowds:
1. Jehovah's Witnesses, with an info booth.
2. A crazy minister who was yelling about how we were all going to hell (right at the entrance to the L train stairway - I've seen him there more than a few times)
3. Hare Krishna folks who were sitting, singing and playing instruments.
4. A few Scientology people near the 8th ave. line who had a table with a sign that said Free Stress Test, and L. Ron Hubbard materials.
5. A lady handing out a pamphlet that said Jesus Chris Loves You.
I walked by all of these people during this five minute walk and was thinking about trying to talk to some of them about their beliefs. I didn't though - I was in a rush and, honestly, these people have always turned me off pretty hard. I also didn't have my hand recorder with me that I use to record conversations. I thought about this experience a bunch over the next few days as I was writing music for the series. Only in New York.
What I ended up writing was based on some recordings I had made of a pastor speaking at a church. I was hired to play in a worship service at a church downtown every week in May. It was a lot of fun - the music was great. While I don't often feel very connected to the pageantry and ceremony of church services, I do really enjoy hearing sermons and witnessing faith in others. I don't share this faith, but I am often drawn to people who seem feel so comfortable/confident with it.
I wrote three short "Prayers" for Aerial Photograph. These are short pieces which, in some abstract way, come from a place of connection I feel when I'm really deeply focused in music. I suppose it is my personal spiritual belief. I also wrote a short piece called "Sacred Action", which was inspired by the truly beautiful faith based work this guy does in the South Bronx.

June: City of Selflessness
Music inspired by stories from community volunteers in NYC.
June, 2013. I wrote music this month about individuals who volunteer to help others in their communities. I really loved my experiences talking to people who fall into this category. I spent a few hours in the South Bronx with Sean Ballentine, who is an outreach team leader for The Relief Bus. This is an outreach ministry/community assistance program which, in addition to sharing faith and prayers, serves the South Bronx homeless and near-homeless community. Among other things, they serve hot meals, distribute clothes, assist in job applications, and -maybe most importantly - help people in serious need to feel dignified and respected. The day I met Sean, he told me all about the work he does and the people he helps. He had me help out with distributing socks, which is actually a really dangerous issue within the homeless population. It was heart warming to see the expressions of gratitude from the people I was serving that day. I also had a chance to talk to some of the other people who were volunteering, and those who had come to get a hot meal. What Sean and the other volunteers do is truly a beautiful thing. It was incredibly inspiring for me to spend time with him.
Another community builder I spoke with was my friend Suzanne. She is a professional in the city who is simply drawn to helping others through community involvement. She spent a lot of time volunteering in areas of NYC that were hard hit by hurricane Sandy. She was very passionate about her experiences as a volunteer. As a lifelong New Yorker, she felt strongly that she needed to help with the Sandy relief effort. Her stories of helping people were so inspiring to me, and the piece entitled "Selfless Acts" (the one that features her voice) was written the evening after we spoke.

July: City of Need
Music inspired by conversations with homeless people in NYC.
In July I focused on the homeless population in NYC. One of the pieces I wrote is called "Lost Inside." I wrote it after talking to an older man in my neighborhood who is homeless and carries around all of his possessions in a plastic children's wagon. I've been seeing him for the last year and a half in and around the GWB bus terminal in Washington Heights. I approached him to see if he would be willing to talk with me about his situation. He was open to talking, but was clearly suffering from mental illness. He started talking about the rain, and how he was trying to keep dry, and something about walking. I didn't really say much to him. He would just quietly say some random words and then look like he was almost listening to something. It went on for maybe five minute and then he stepped back from me and faced away from me. I'm not sure if it was schizophrenia or some other disorder. When I got back to my apartment I looked up mental illness and homelessness statistics. Here are some surprising numbers from the Coalition for the Homeless.
In the end this piece, "Lost Inside", was written while thinking about this man's behavior. I was also thinking a lot about the scene of meeting him: a rainy day, standing under a scaffolding near the GWB, the lull of the mid-afternoon, all of his things in this dirty children's toy wagon, his wildly overgrown hair, his confusing words, the layers upon layers of clothes he wore which were totally inappropriate to the the outside temperature, and finally, what I perceived as the sharp contrast between his solitary internal struggles against the piercingly loud, organized chaos of the busiest motor car bridge in the world above us.
The inclusion here of the 1930 classic song "Brother, Can You Spare A Dime" was a last minute addition. An apt 'cover' song for a month focused on people in need.

August: City of Scars
Music inspired by stories and conversations with veterans in NYC.
In August of 2013 I focused on speaking with, and writing music about, veterans. I composed "Air Mail" after talking to an Iraq War veteran. He shared with me how euphoric he felt upon receiving mail from home during his time in Iraq. Coincidentally, I had been at a flea market earlier that month and had bought some WWII letters that had been mailed from soldiers overseas back to their families.
Here is a blog I created that has audio of the soldier I spoke with, as well as images of the letters I bought that month. Together, these two things inspired me to write "Air Mail."
Within the songs from this month you will also hear this soldier tell of his harrowing last day in Iraq. This is an intense story and one that I thought a lot about while I was writing "Outpost".
I really love the way each soloist interpreted the mood and storyline of these tunes. The solo on "Air Mail" is by violinist Ben Sutin. The solos on "Outpost" are by violinist Eugen Kim, and tenor saxophonist Paul Jones.

September: City of Connections
Music inspired by conversations with New York City teachers.
For the month of September, I had the chance to talk with several NYC public school teachers. As a teaching artist myself, I have been involved in various projects that have taken place in NYC public schools over the past few years. Some of the ones in which I have worked were chaotic and disorganized, while others have been models of teaching excellence. The shear size of the NYC Dept. of Education is astonishing. Here are some current figures from their website:
- 1.1 million students
- 1,800 schools
- 654 new schools since 2002
- 75,000 teachers
- $24 billion annual budget
So I guess it's not surprising that there are such huge variations in quality within such a massive system. The school I visited in September, and where I spoke to teachers, is an elementary school. With all of the negative attention that the NYC public schools often receive, I was somewhat expecting our conversations to gravitate towards issues of educational decay in NYC. But this was not the case at all. I was really touched by how much passion and love the teachers there spoke about what they do. Among many other uplifting stories, they shared with me stories of students who had overcome extremely broken homes and learning disabilities to achieve success in school. The teachers also told me about the many letters of appreciation they had received over the years from students such as these, and how they had kept these letters. One teachers told me she had hundreds of thank you letters, all kept in a safe place and re-read from time to time. One of the pieces I wrote for this month is called "Letters Kept", and was written with these simple, but very meaningful, expressions of gratitude in mind.
I really believe that being a teacher, and teaching with a sense of the deep responsibility that this profession entails, is one of the greatest acts of giving that exist. Effective teachers give us the tools to express ourselves, and in doing so, provide a way for us to learn who we are. Visiting these elementary schools brought back memories of the many teachers I had growing up - in and out of school - who had a profound impact on me and who I'll always remember. I came across this appropriate quote from Andy Rooney that sums it up pretty well:
"Most of us end up with no more than five or six people who remember us. Teachers have thousands of people who remember them for the rest of their lives".

October: City of Margins
Music inspired by incarcerated people.
The music on this recording was written after getting together and talking with New Yorkers who were recently released from jail. Some had spent years in prison, while others had stayed just a night or two. Throughout this year, in all my conversations with New Yorkers, I have been struck by how easy it could be for anyone to identify with any of the groups on which I have focused. Everyone is a child at some point, anyone could be an immigrant, (hopefully) a senior citizen, etc. I can easily imagine my friends and relatives telling the same stories that I have heard from veterans, religious people, homeless people, and people in all kinds of good and bad situations. In February I went to an AA meeting when I was talking with people who were recovering addicts and alcoholics. In the room of about forty people, there was just about every race, age and income bracket represented. Vice, and the misery that comes with it, truly has no color. So when talking about incarcerated people, it's hard not to mention how disproportionate the prison population is with the rest of society. While people of color make up about 30% of the United States’ population, they account for 60% of those imprisoned. Here is a comment from a white veteran who had been in and out of jail since his return from Iraq:
"…all these black people - no matter what they do, they're going to get in trouble. They're going to experience …inequality. And it just sucks. It's bullshit. As someone who fought for this country, I fought for everyone. My whole motivation was this country. What pissed me off [being in jail] was the fact that you could literally be African American and just walk in the street and get arrested for no reason. And that killed me. Seeing it firsthand. That's my dad. That's my grandfather. My two cousins who are active NYPD. I hope they're aren't doing that same shit".
The piece entitled "It Doesn't Matter" was written the evening after I spoke with this man.
On the recording entitled "Fruit Loops", a woman is heard talking about being "institutionalized" - a term given to someone who has spent so much time in prison that they can no longer function in regular society. It was a term I heard a lot from all of the former inmates I spoke with this month. The woman was six months pregnant. I met at a diner one evening to talk about her experiences behind bars. The title of the song is simply what she ordered for dinner.

November: City of Strength
Music inspired by conversations with caregivers in NYC.
I chose to focus on caretakers for the month of November. I've been working with children at a pediatric cancer facility for several years now in NYC and have witnessed the ups and downs, the strains and the stresses that caregivers often endure. These people work solely because of how much they love the person for whom they care, often their own children. It is a profound act of humanity. The patients are often on a roller coaster ride of health and emotions, and it is the role of the caregiver to provide a consistent comfort and grounding presence amongst this chaos. So, when I turned to music to express this role of caregiving, I decided to compose several duo and trio pieces which reflected this relationship. In all of these short songs, one instrument represents the 'rock' of a caregiver: a constant, strong, hopeful and reassuring presence. The other instruments, which play inconsistently, express the unpredictable nature and emotions of someone with compromised health.
Two other ideas informed this music. One was a quote from a NYC caregiver that I found to be greatly insightful:
"Health is a privilege."
This sentiment is something that is so true, but one which is taken for granted most of the time. At least I know I take it for granted much of the time. The other idea was from a professional caretaker with whom I spoke that talked about being a caring and sympathetic person, but also "indifferent" towards those she helped. The "indifference" she described was her way of detaching from the suffering of those she cared for so that she could better serve their needs. The piece Indifference features this caretaker's voice at the beginning of the track.

December: City of Vision
Music inspired by artists and musicians in NYC.
It goes without saying that NYC is a mecca for artists. Before I moved to NYC I asked the great jazz trumpet player Dave Douglas if he thought that moving to New York was a good idea. His answer was "Yes, because moving to New York will kick your ass. Every musician, particularly jazz musicians, should spend time in NYC." He was right. It's a struggle to make it work here. So many people, so much competition, so expensive! But what I have come to understand is that almost everyone here is struggling to make it work, which makes it so exciting. There is a poet in the subway that will write you a tailor made poem for a donation. And his work is good. He has, ahem, had his work published in the New York Times. Once I was waiting for a subway at the 2nd avenue F stop late one night after a gig. There was an incredible young accordion player playing stunningly beautiful ballads, one right after the other. On a Tuesday night at midnight. It was mesmerizing. There is a street artist that cuts old soda cans into beautiful flower vases and sells them, if you can imagine it. These vases are incredible. Great art is being made everywhere here. Maybe it's the high cost of living, and the intense competition. The kind of struggles that can force works of meaningful art to surface. I believe that it is also because we are constantly surrounded by artists and musicians creating work at the highest levels, pushing boundaries, and showing us new possibilities for personal expression.
What a joy it has been to meet New Yorkers and write music about them this year. This year has made me even more glad that I can call this city home. Even with the ass kicking.
