Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Afoxé Pra Oxum (Live Performance Video) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-10-17 | Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Afoxé Pra Oxum (Live Performance Video)From 'Auburn Whisper' (GroundUP Music, February 2022)Buy/Stream: orcd.co/auburnwhisperThis song honors Oxum, the Orisha/goddess of rivers, waterfalls, and fresh water, and a symbol of fertility, beauty, and wealth in the Afro-Brazilian religion candomblé. The ijexá groove creates a chant-like and meditative setting to evoke Oxum, as the lyrics describe the way she enchants those around her, from the fish in the water to any human lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her. We often find inspiration for our music in the stories of the orixas and in nature itself, and were so happy to have Natalie’s sister, Julianna, bring her spirit to life.Follow Natalie CressmanInstagram: instagram.com/natcressmanFacebook: facebook.com/natcressmanmusicTwitter: twitter.com/natcressmanFollow Ian FaquiniInstagram: instagram.com/ianfaquiniFacebook: facebook.com//ianfaquinimusicIan Faquini: Guitar & VocalsNatalie Cressman: Trombones & VocalsMusic by Ian FaquiniLyrics by Iara FerreiraArrangement by Natalie CressmanRecorded and Mixed by Adam Muñoz at Opus StudiosFilmed by Isaac Pingree Edited by Luca BordonaroLYRICSDona da beleza jururu engalanadaCanta curió na viração e o peixe para Dela a piracema, seu espelho um olho d’água Ouro pele negra, numa pedra acocoradaLá na cachoeira eu coroei a minha amada,Oromin mayó ô, ôro, orominEu beijei a flor, nasceu a flor da minha estrada Oromin mayó ô, oro oromin Salve essa riqueza, natureza fecundadaMãe da minha avó, a pioneira IcamiabaBela por inteiro, no tempero, na pisadaDoce mel da abelha, ararinha delicadaLá na cachoeira eu avistei a minha amada,Oromin mayó ô, ôro, orominEu beijei a flor, nasceu a flor na minha estrada Oromin mayó ô, oro oromin mayó Balé Nagô para a rainha do amorPra Yê Yê ÔFoi alabê quem chamou, abe tocouQuando o xirê começou, ayê bailouFoi alabê quem chamou, abe tocou Quando o xirê começou, pra Yê Yê ÔFoi a rainha do amorQuem me ganhouA ladainha parou e o afoxé chegouDona da beleza jururu engalanadaCanta curió na viração e o peixe para Dela a piracema, seu espelho um olho d’água Ouro pele negra, numa pedra acocoradaFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net

It’s in 15/8, and I explored different ways to feel/play the 15 throughout the piece. It’s an odd choice for a first single but also a fitting one, as it encapsulates just about everything that fOUR is about. It’s incredibly hard to perform and record, and since it’s all performed live in one take with no pre-recorded backing tracks, it’s different every time I play it!”’ - Nate WoodArranged, produced, engineered, and mixed by Nate WoodFollow Nate WoodYouTube: youtube.com/natewoodmusicInstagram: instagram.com/natewoodmusic Facebook: facebook.com/natewoodmusic Twitter: twitter.com/natewoodmusic Bandcamp: natewood.bandcamp.comFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net

Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Curandeiro (Official Music Video) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-07-19 | Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Curandeiro From 'Auburn Whisper' (GroundUP Music, 2022)Stream/Buy: orcd.co/auburnwhisperCurandeiro (“The Healer”) speaks of the myriad ways in which he cures: with the forest, the ocean, the sky, his pain, his faith, the meat of the caju fruit, tabaco, cachaça, as well as indigenous herbs and medicines. In the song he is championing his way of life, as an indigenous healer of the Mundukuru people of the Amazon, who live very in touch with nature, attentive to its signs and changes. The connection with nature and the importance of preserving the rainforest and indigenous culture is a major theme across several songs that Ian and Iara Ferreira, the lyricist, have collaborated on. As Ian was composing the music, he was unaware that he had written it in an odd meter time signature. Most of the song is in eleven.Guitar & Vocals: Ian Faquini Trombones & Vocals: Natalie CressmanLyrics by Iara FerreiraArranged by: Natalie CressmanProduced by: Natalie Cressman, Ian Faquini, and Jeff CressmanEngineered by: Jeff CressmanFollow Natalie CressmanInstagram: instagram.com/natcressmanFacebook: facebook.com/natcressmanmusicTwitter: twitter.com/natcressmanFollow Ian FaquiniInstagram: instagram.com/ianfaquiniFacebook: facebook.com//ianfaquinimusicLYRICSCuro com minha mata, meu cocarCuro com minha mágoa, meu gongáUrucubaca pouca em costa-oca dá de pau pereira Curo com surubim e macambira Curo com pirauaca, céu e marCuro com fumaceira sem queimar Teu cocuruto é bruto e tá cascudo que nem tatupebaCura de curumim que o mal não pegaCuro com minha flecha de matarCuro com minha fé Mundukuru Curo com minha carne de cajuCuidado cara branca tira a banca e vê se não reguingaCuro com Tiriri, tabaco e pingaCuro com Jararaca, CamacãCuro com Aroeira, SuinãMas fico de butuca, onde tem fruta também tem abelhaCada camurupim na sua aldeia Varro de piaçava pra limpar Curo com minha adaga, talho fundo a chaga pra fazer vazarAssim que eu vir verter a veia do perdãoDou nó de marinheiro, sou bufarinheiro, vou por prestaçãoConto com minha terra se a cabrita berra, sei que vai choverE a água que chegar, pego pra te benzerFecho teu corpo inteiro, eu sou o curandeiro do balacochê babá Curo com minha adaga, talho fundo a chaga pra fazer vazarAssim que eu vir verter a veia do perdãoDou nó de marinheiro, sou bufarinheiro, vou por prestaçãoConto com minha terra se a cabrita berra, sei que vai choverE a água que chegar, pego pra te benzerFecho teu corpo inteiro, eu sou o curandeiro do balacochê babá Follow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net
Lee Pardini - Leon Keys (feat. Theo Katzman and Joe Dart) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-07-15 | Lee Pardini - Leon Keys (feat. Theo Katzman and Joe Dart)From Lee Pardini’s Leon Keys EP (GroundUP Music, 2022)Stream/Buy: orcd.co/leonkeys Lee Pardini - This track was written more or less as an excuse to collaborate with two of the funkiest people I know, Theo Katzman and Joe Dart. Everything they touch is funky and I knew they would breathe so much life into this music. The influence of Japanese music, specifically the Yellow Magic Orchestra, is most overt here. I wanted a hard groove, but also pushed myself to keep things simple in both melody and harmony. I didn’t want any distractions from what in my opinion is a pretty infectious rhythm, and with the expertise of Katzman and Dart, Leon Keys came to life.

Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Benção de Iansá (Official Music Video) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-06-23 | Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini - Benção de Iansá (Official Music Video)From 'Auburn Whisper' (GroundUP Music, 2022)Stream/Buy: orcd.co/auburnwhisperThe title translates to the blessing of Iansá, the orixa/goddess of winds, storms, lightning, and fire. The song personifies her as a storm (“tempestade”) as she is wild and unpredictable. She is tied to the sprits of the dead and is sought in times of difficulty to lead her followers through painful transitions in life. The layers of vocals were intended to conjure up an image of waves crashing ashore from the sea, over the driving samba rhythm.

I wasn’t finished writing and didn’t know if we would ever get the chance to play music together again. Thankfully the chance presented itself in January of ’22 and suddenly we had a small window of dates at an amazing venue where we could record audio and video (Sony Hall in NYC). But I still didn’t have a song. As I dove back into the quintet material we had already recorded the song seemed to emerge almost fully formed. We tracked “The Last Song” live with me on violin, Justin Stanton on keyboards, Mark Lettieri on guitar, Jonathan Maron on bass, and Eric Harland on drums.

The lyrics and music were an attempt to capture emotional struggles and transitional anxiety in a positive light, and to see them as forces that strengthen you not just tear you down. This string arrangement was written by my big brother Bill. Reminder was always one of his favorite tracks on Perfect Animal. He did an incredible job of not only capturing key bits of orchestration and background vocals from the original recording, but also maintaining the angst and playfulness of the song.”Music & Lyrics by Becca StevensString Arrangement by Bill StevensVocals & Acoustic Guitar: Becca StevensViolin: Amy Schroeder Violin: Domenic Salerni Viola: Nathan Schram Cello: Andrew YeePerformed, filmed, edited, and mixed at Skillman Music Recording Studio, NYC Recording/Mixing Engineer: Iver AtkinsCinematographer/Editor: Wei WangCamera Op: Shinn ShiFollow Becca StevensInstagram: instagram.com/beccastevensbsbFacebook: facebook.com/BeccaStevensBandTwitter: twitter.com/beccastevensbsbWebsite: beccastevens.comFollow Attacca QuartetInstagram: instagram.com/attaccaquartetFacebook: facebook.com/attaccaquartetTwitter: twitter.com/attaccaquartet LYRICSCrippled by your desireTo cut the reigns and lose your wayYou focus on how to hide out Denying youDenying realRather than your denialOf being fine with this kind of feverRealize why you like itArousing youAllowing realArousing youAllowing realIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everything you knewIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everything you knewIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everythingNewRather than a reprisalOf your habit to hide or run awaySlow down cause it's easierThan fighting realThan fighting newAllowing realAllowing youIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everything you knewIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everything you knewIf you can't find reliefFrom the troubles that move youTake a chance and marvel at the heat that'sBurning everythingNewAnd if you can't find something to be happy about, tryLifting up the corners of your mouth andMaybe that'll remind youFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net#BeccaStevens #AttaccaQuartet

I had been doing a lot of touring with Snarky Puppy that year and I was inspired to embrace sounds that I had avoided on my previous recordings. I was imagining new music that was louder, funkier, still subtly complex, but also unpretentious. Instead of tiptoeing the line between acoustic and electric as I often have in the past I was now prepared to go all-in with electric instruments and effects. I didn’t care if people knew that a particular sound was being made by a violin anymore. I had to change some things in my mind to allow myself to hear the music. It was time to get dirty.Violin: Zach BrockDrums: Eric HarlandKeyboards: Justin StantonTrumpet: Justin StantonElectric Guitar: Mark LettieriFlute: Chris BullockElectric Bass: Jonathan MaronArranged by: Zach BrockProduced by: Zach BrockEngineered by: Nic Hard Assistant Engineer: Ken HelmlingerRecorded at Dreamland Studios, Hurley, NYAdditional Recording at Electric Air Studios, Miami, FLAdditional Engineering by: Andrés DazaMixed by: Nic HardVideo shot & edited by: Erin HarperFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net

The plan was for our set in San Diego to be purely arrangements of my original music, but when we realized we were both massive Radiohead/Thom Yorke fans this song was added last minute. Geeking out over Radiohead was one of the first things we bonded over when we met, and eventually our first date was to an Atoms For Peace show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I've always been a huge fan of this string arrangement. I enjoy the simmering intensity of it, blasting off into raucous tension and explosive angst. I love what it brings out of the strings, and I really enjoy singing it. It features a part of my voice and character that doesn’t come out in my own writing very often. This is one of the first string quartet arrangements that Nathan ever wrote which is a testament to how strong of a voice he has as an arranger and composer.”Music & Lyrics by RadioheadArranged by Nathan Schram Vocals: Becca StevensViolin: Amy Schroeder Violin: Domenic Salerni Viola: Nathan Schram Cello: Andrew YeePerformed, filmed, edited, and mixed at Skillman Music Recording Studio, NYC Recording/Mixing Engineer: Iver AtkinsCinematographer/Editor: Wei WangCamera Op: Shinn ShiFollow Becca StevensInstagram: instagram.com/beccastevensbsbFacebook: facebook.com/BeccaStevensBandTwitter: twitter.com/beccastevensbsbWebsite: beccastevens.comFollow Attacca QuartetInstagram: instagram.com/attaccaquartetFacebook: facebook.com/attaccaquartetTwitter: twitter.com/attaccaquartet LYRICSAre you such a dreamerTo put the world to rightsI’ll stay home foreverWhere two and two always makes a fiveI’ll lay down the tracksSandbag, and hideJanuary has April showersAnd two and two always makes a fiveIt’s the devil’s way nowThere is no way outYou can scream and you can shoutBut it’s too late nowBecause you have not beenPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionYou have not beenPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionYou have not beenPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionYou have not beenPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionPayin’ attentionI try to sing along but the music’s all wrong’Cause I’m not, ’cause I’m notI swat ’em like flies,But like flies the buggers keep comin’ backBut I’m notAll hail to the thief, all hail to the thiefBut I’m not, but I’m not,But I’m not, but I’m notDon’t question my authorityOr put me in a box’Cause I’m not, ’cause I’m notOh go and tell the kingThat the sky is fallin’ inBut it’s not, but it’s notBut it’s not, maybe notMaybe notFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net#BeccaStevens #AttaccaQuartet

Ian wrote the music as a variation on a Guinga song called “O coco do coco”. The rapid-fire lyrics and unrelenting style of singing is also typical to coco and known as “embolada”, which literally translates to “entangling”. The lyrics reflect the festive setting, the driving beat, and coco’s roots in capoeira and other afro-brazilian cultural traditions."Music by Ian FaquiniLyrics by Iara Ferreira Arrangement by Natalie CressmanIan Faquini: Guitar & VocalsNatalie Cressman: Trombone & Vocals Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Jeff CressmanFilmed by Dillon VadoEdited by Natalie Cressman Dancers/Actors: Julianna Cressman, Felice Gomez, Tainah Damasceno Harvey, Pedro Millikan, Alexander Moll Johnson, Brandon DiasFollow Natalie CressmanInstagram: instagram.com/natcressmanFacebook: facebook.com/natcressmanmusicTwitter: twitter.com/natcressmanFollow Ian FaquiniInstagram: instagram.com/ianfaquiniFacebook: facebook.com//ianfaquinimusicLYRICSUm coco boco-moco eu arrenegoSe me chamar na chincha, lasco ferro E o cabra dobra até cair no chão Doido pra resfolegarE sai de nó na língua da emboladaEngasga, se estrebucha e pede água Queimado igual pavio de lampiãoQue corisco incendiouCantador chama na voz, bate na mãodescasca o coco e rala péÊ meu irmão, troco do coco sem sufoco, é o que é Eu quero ver quem é quem na brincadeiraDo rala-coco sem cair na capoeiraQuem muito tem e faz pouco toma rasteira Quem não tem nada, nada teme e faz zoeira Desde pequeno eu já ralava e não sabiaEsmerilhava dedilhando a melodiaPor isso mesmo é que meu coco é naturalNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauUm coco boco-moco eu arrenegoSe me chamar na chincha, lasco ferro E o cabra dobra até cair no chão Doido pra resfolegarE sai de nó na língua da emboladaEngasga, se estrebucha e pede água Queimado igual pavio de lampiãoQue corisco incendiouCantador chama na voz, bate na mãodescasca o coco e rala péÊ meu irmão, troco do coco sem sufoco, é o que é Eu quero ver quem é quem na brincadeiraDo rala-coco sem cair na capoeiraQuem muito tem e faz pouco toma rasteira Quem não tem nada, nada teme e faz zoeiraDesde pequeno eu já ralava e não sabiaEsmerilhava dedilhando a melodiaPor isso mesmo é que meu coco é naturalNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauUm coco boco-moco eu arrenegoSe me chamar na chincha, lasco ferro E o cabra dobra até cair no chão Doido pra resfolegarE sai de nó na língua da emboladaEngasga, se estrebucha e pede água Queimado igual pavio de lampiãoQue corisco incendiouCantador chama na voz, bate na mãodescasca o coco e rala péÊ meu irmão, troco do coco sem sufoco, é o que é Eu quero ver quem é quem na brincadeiraDo rala-coco sem cair na capoeiraQuem muito tem e faz pouco toma rasteira Quem não tem nada, nada teme e faz zoeira Desde pequeno eu já ralava e não sabiaEsmerilhava dedilhando a melodiaPor isso mesmo é que meu coco é naturalNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauNão nega nem faz manha, mata a cobra e mostra o pauFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net#NatalieCressman #IanFaquini

This song was by far the hardest for us to finish. We tried half a dozen pianos, several drummers and approaches, but in the end I think that Michael McDonald was the soul we needed! What a love-bomb of musical mastery. It is an absurd dream and honor that he graced us with his musicianship. Louis Cato plays a shuffle like no other, and David Cutler plays his signature bass stank. Mathilde Retailleau edited together this beautiful collection of footage shot in the making of this track and general studio madness.

When I first read this poem it brought me to tears. I pictured Jane at the end of her life looking back with bittersweet acceptance of the loss of someone very close to her, maybe her husband (Bob). I found out after I’d set the poem that Jane actually wrote this poem when she was in her early twenties, before she even met the man who she would eventually marry. To me this is one of the marks of great writing: when a body of text can mean different things to different people. The text can time travel, evolve, and live comfortably in the imagined world of every reader."Music by Becca Stevens Lyrics from The Heart’s Necessities: Life in Poetry, by Jane Tyson Clement with Becca Stevens.

Michelle Willis - Liberty (Official Music Video) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-03-18 | @Boutwillismusic - LibertyFrom 'Just One Voice' - Available April 2022Stream/Buy here: orcd.co/mw-libertyMichelle Willis - I wrote "Liberty" on my last trip to New York before I moved there. I was questioning how much my need of change was just green grass chasing. I was falling more and more in love with the city, seeing myself there, while still carrying memory, grudges and hopes deferred from home. I was thinking about all the people for whom the Statue of Liberty was a beacon of hope, new life, new chances, but upon getting here their lives were far from the dream, and yet I couldn’t help but fall for the energy of the city (edit: five years on, I’m still very much in love with NYC). The vocal harmonies here may as well have been taken from a Michael McDonald background vocal arranging class. I’m certain that subconsciously I was writing with his voice and style in mind. In the outro it’s both him and my mentor and friend David Crosby singing “a city takes me by storm”, which is a beautiful beckoning to me of all that was to come.

Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini – Auburn Whisper (Official Music Video) GroundUP Music NYC 2022-03-03 | Natalie Cressman & Ian Faquini – Auburn WhisperFrom 'Auburn Whisper' - Available April 15, 2022Stream/Buy: orcd.co/ncif-auburnwhisperThis song is a meditation on the power of the ancient redwoods, the way that being in nature strips us down to our core and help us live more honestly. The song is also about love, and how the enchanting environment can be the catalyst for love to be confessed and grow over time. And just as the redwood grove’s beauty and power doesn’t diminish with age, the love conceived there is equally timeless. "Part of this is autobiographical, as Ian and my musical partnership began in the redwoods of Cazadero. I felt like the beauty of the music I experienced there that first year grabbed me and actually changed the course of my life." - Natalie CressmanIan Faquini: GuitarNatalie Cressman: Trombone & VocalsLyrics by Natalie CressmanMusic by Ian FaquiniArrangement by Natalie CressmanRecorded, mixed, and mastered by Jeff CressmanFilmed & Directed by Arianna Coan-PrichardFollow Natalie CressmanInstagram: instagram.com/natcressmanFacebook: facebook.com/natcressmanmusicTwitter: twitter.com/natcressmanFollow Ian FaquiniInstagram: instagram.com/ianfaquiniFacebook: facebook.com//ianfaquinimusicLYRICSAn auburn word in song will come To rouse a village in the sunA haunted whisper in the woodGrabbed me like no one ever could A rising tide to lay it bareTo leave I Love You in the airWas it a part of some design?That time would roll and make you mineThe moon ascends, a hand contends, a figure bendsThe world suspends and when it ends I see a feeling in disguise Dancing in your eyesSpun out I see, what it could be, I wander free Where I can see above it all and keep my feet on solid ground Rooted in the sound of youWe met as strangers long agoBefore the daggers chance would throwNow thick as thieves we’re far awaySomewhere the stars are holding swayYour breath is fanning a new fireCaught in the wind of your desireWe find a grove and leave it there to join the songs hung in the airA walk alone, a secret grown into its ownAs we were thrown to the unknownA beacon shone by dying moonLeaving us too soonThe threat of dawn, a day came onThe curtain drawn and moving onYou came along and lingered on when I came toDrawing me right out to youIn autumn night a song will comeTo ring out right when day is doneA passing wind would penetrateAnd hold me arm in arm with fate So be it redwood pine or maple when I see the light and leaves upon you A moment rushes in to meet me, ever luminous the signAs time has faded every leaf inside our fable you will find me falling Over and over with a love that still defies reason or rhymeIn autumn night a song will comeTo ring out right when day is doneA passing wind would penetrateAnd hold me arm in arm with fate So be it redwood pine or maple when I see the light and leaves upon you A moment rushes in to meet me, ever luminous the signAs time has faded every leaf inside our fable you will find me falling Over and over with a love that still defies reason or rhymeFollow GroundUP MusicFacebook: facebook.com/groundupmusicworld Twitter: twitter.com/groundupmusicny Instagram: instagram.com/groundupmusicny Website: groundupmusic.net
