about

This was an experiment in using the computer as a composing tool. I think the results are quite unique. It uses the omni-chord in a unique way from how I normally hear it, as a melodic compositional instrument, compared with a chordal accompaniment instrument. It also features a variation on a theme from "Where Is The Tiny Wand?" The violins play it here, but it's a piano part earlier. One of my favorite moments is Russel's improvised clarinet melody that gives way to the adolescent reminiscent vocals.

Yes, the shred of doubt of never knowing whether you were caught! That's where this song lives! All kids want to be held to high expectations but they also could be allowed to suck a little bit too...

lyrics

Was I caught sleeping in class today?
Did that woman see me staring at her chest?
