REVIEW : Brandon Michael Williams presents The Brandonborg Concertos
This is a magnum opus. And it’s free.
The Brandonborg Concertos is an exercise in several different aspects, some musical, some recording, some psychological. There are 5 movements and these movements are titled:
1. Inspiration
2. Implementation
3. Accumulation
4. Disintegration
5. Assimilation
Download it here: http://brandonmichaelwilliams.net/2013/06/the-brandonborg-concertos-out-now-2/
The 5 movements cover a significant spectrum of music. The first 3 tracks are very classical in nature. Driven by piano and various sections of a string quartet (if you know anything about concertos, this will make sense), the first 3 movements are enjoyable listens and are recorded raw and in the flesh. … Continued →

Rethinking "Wait For the Siren"
As a reviewer I admit that I’ve likely given too many “4’s.” A month or two after writing up a review, I’ll look at the score with a little perspective and think “that was really more a 3” (and even an occasional 3 that should have been a 2). Though this is certainly not common, it does happen. However, I have come to pride myself that I save the big one (a perfect 5) for only the best of the best albums around.
To date, I have given two perfect scores.… Continued →
