Wasn’t all that thrilled with vo/v1 of “The Departure” and “Only Questions” …. plus I discovered it would be cool to rewrite (re-arrange) “Sanctus” and do it up in 4/4. Then mash it all up so as to not waste space on my free musescore account(s). MAJOR aesthetic changes to score were made — and we’re not done yet. Still a WIP is Max’s “On Reflection” the theme from “Nosedive” possibly my favorite Black Mirror episode. Also, the bed playing when Patti says her last words to Kevin are not in the sound track, but they resemble a reprise of Dona Nobis Pacem II (???? methinks) so, this being perhaps one of the triumphs of modern videography, it deserves a crtique, analysis, tribute and likely an arrangement of the Richter’s lilting refrain as Patti quotes 19th Century Poet Yeats…..

Kevin
You want me to kill you.
Patti
Oh Kevin you can't kill me you don't have the fuckin balls.
I want you to commit. I want you to finish what you started.
I want you to go all the way.
I want you to say you understand.
Kevin
Understand what?
Patti
What's happened. What's happening. to ME.
To you.
Music crescendos as she laments the end of a life she considers long gone already; secretly relishing in the pain this will inflict on Garvey. then she delivers the best line of the entire series: a poem titled He Bids His Beloved Be At Peace, by W.B. Yeats.
O vanity of Sleep, Hope, Dream, endless Desire,
The Horses of Disaster plunge through the heavy clay:
Beloved, let your eyes half close, and your heart beat
Over my heart, and your hair fall over my breast,
Drowning love's lonely hour in deep twilight of rest,
And hiding their tossing manes and tumultuous feet.
Kevin.
Kevin.
Kevin Garvey.
You don't have to hide from me.**

Careful editing went into getting Yeats’ spelling, words and punctuation right. Vox was WAYYY off. So were most of the fan tribute sites and Reddit threads.
So here’s so early WIP trasncriptions arrangements …..The+Departure+More+Leftovers+arrangements…” by Tapper7
Podcast update and awful video dug up….
New “Leftover” arrangements ….
*update* my bad – my arrangement ( on v1 now!) wasn’t up yet. it is now. “The Departure” and an excerpt from “She Remembers” are featured. Also got a podcast WIP for next time. Topics like Tom Perotta, Damon Lindeloff, The Guilty Remnant, cool piano music, sad 19th century poetry, music/audio production and maybe even “Black Mirror” will be discussed. –It’s popular TV show, get over yourself….jeezis…. anyway lets try on some Leftover-inspired open-source MIDI by the gang of one at SSStudios, LA cee-ayy.
The+Departure+More+Leftovers+arrangements…” by Tapper7
Damn, Max Richter is one hell of a composer. Had to pay tribute and to the writers who picked out music that was as special/unique/original as the groundbreaking HBO series itself. This one I plan to write out for brass ensemble/drum corps….grabs you by the heart and then even harder by the neck. Richter is a modern Barber.
Here is ver1 of my tribute/transcription arrangement (just went live) *update* I want to expand extensively on this one, also located Adagio for Strings v7 so I updated a few things, think this is v8, has a few wrong notes, sorry I was tired….this arr previously had 5000+ views and was by far one of the most popular arrangements online.
Musescore pulled it cuz i guess in Germany [???] it wasnt public dom. yet. so stay tuned for my Letfover[s] suite…..
Adagio for Strings arr Tapper v8 by Chris Welke
and here’s one I posted two years ago in tribute to the gorgeous vocal hymn used in the series. ‘Sanctus’ – Hornline Warmup v3 2016 by Tapper7
Quick redesign to offend human eye less ….
Usually I have time to find a WordPress theme that I KIND OF like, but then delve into hours of rewriting, deleting and adding my own PHP & CSS so a) the site doesn’t look like every other damn site on the Web and b) it is ideally remotely aesthetically pleasing, being that I claim to be some form of artist. This time it was not too hard to futz with the p-tags, the H1s, their colors borders, shading, typography, size, weight, etc you get the idea. I made a few other updates, 1) published another podcast literally to make sure I still new how to do it.
2) Gave the site a nice easy dark background.
3) removed hideous green and red text background colors I was using.
4) Made the main site image a screenshot of recursively generated forest scene, it draws something different and remarkably realistic each time it runs — and will draw more for every mouse-click. I wrote it in the Processing language in conjunction with another lover of random numbers and trees. I’ll post the code if I can find it.
5) Masthead appears as old-timey newspaper gothic image instead of cold, sterile title and site description. and
6) I posted this, so shut up.
Site underwent rushed redesign….
New TapCasts are coming soon too. HAVENT had decent access to a laptop in some time. I del’d gd-awful cast so it should be gone soon and first chance I get I’ll put some info/music/bs/& “the funny” Till then Happy Holidays! Treat yourself if poss. -ed
Publisher, site & Cast placed on 30-day hold by Administration ….
Yes, Mr. Welke is a straight up J-cat 5150 18-wheeler on 17 flat tires TRUCK, coming to halt via e-brake, shifting into low, swervin [Durbin!] and hopefully coming in for clean landing amidst a runaway truck mound. Jerry’s easy Tenor will lighten the moment before the CHP places mne in 4-point restraints in a [hopefully] tastefully-buttoned up hospital gown. Methinks this JG classic was playing when they found the rig.I likie the ones with the blue dots.
TapCast, now finally with fresh builds of Audacity, WP, FFmpeg Encoder & libmp3LAME.dll just ejected 2 new casts to let you know the ICU found its blood type ….O-….. the tracheotomy was successful and it will slowly revive, as did this writer in 2012. You can actually place this mess via iTunes, but for you ‘ultimate lazys’ out there I have an important question; ‘do you like Huey Lewis & The News?’
Associates & ***Performers/Staff at Impulse!*** get at me via email chris.e.welke@gmail …. the undisclosed location where Q-list celebs (me) and fmr.

My drop-dead-gorgeous Suicide Gurl/gf/friends/w/benefits ‘Nic’ 1st stayed there about 11 yrs ago and the clientele was shocking. Did you watch the Academy Awards?
