New music video for World Space Week 🛰️ “Nearest Neighbor” – written from the perspective of a friendly extra-terrestrial who's a big fan of humanity.

Music & Lyrics © ℗ 2020, 2021 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas (4th Street Recording Studio, Santa Monica, CA) and JC LaResche (Village Studios, Los Angeles, CA) Mixing by Bobby Vickery & Matt Bishop // NEAREST NEIGHBOR © 2020 Jeannie Novak For eons, we've been watching you Keeping track of all you do Wondering at the view Of our nearest neighbor Your home is a nice shade of blue Unlike our chartreuse hue We find ourselves envying you Our nearest neighbor Someday we might get the nerve To visit and try to serve But we might be misheard Someday we might try to fly Through deep space, across the sky We'd just be stopping by To see our nearest neighbor In the meantime, we'll just wait Until we can communicate It will never be too late To see our nearest neighbor When we zoom in really close We see why we love you most Your sense of humor, silly jokes Even when things seem morose One day, we might be your friend Until then, we'll play pretend We wouldn't want to offend Our nearest neighbor Someday we might get the nerve To visit and try to serve But we might be misheard Someday we might try to fly Through deep space, across the sky We'd just be stopping by To see our nearest neighbor In the meantime, we'll just wait Until we can communicate It will never be too late To see our nearest neighbor To see our nearest neighbor Neighbor Our nearest neighbor

For all you squirrel lovers out there, we’re celebrating World Animal Day 🐿️ Once upon a time, an injured squirrel fell out of a tree. Rescued by her human neighbors, she was fed and serenaded with music and the buzz of Formula 1. After being transported to a Malibu rehab facility, she was able to roam free with other squirrels like her and was eventually nursed back to health – living happily ever after ☀️ “Outerworld” – based on a poem written by @atmanrising – tells the story from the squirrel's point of view. Song recorded on piano and voice for the SHELTER collection 🎹 Music © 2020 Jeannie Novak Lyrics © 2020 Luis Levy Recording ℗ 2021 Jeannie Novak Engineered by Sejo Navajas at 4th Street Recording Studio (Santa Monica, CA) Preliminary mix by Bobby Vickery Acoustic remix by Matt Bishop // OUTERWORLD © 2020 Luis Levy Out of the darkness, into the light Can’t find my way out, can’t think or fight Noises and smells, danger abounds Help me, I’m alone, I’ve lost my home No way to leave this place But there’s food to eat What is this strange, weird sound That makes me sleep I’m shaken yet warm With waves of sound, eerily calm I wait as time runs out, away from waking eyes I’m feeling stronger now, my fear slowly dies You let me out, into the air There are others like me, no longer scared Now I can leave this place I have strength to feed That strange and soothing sound Helped me to sleep I was shaken yet warm With waves of sound, eerily calm There’s sun and wind And others like me I sleep without fear You set me free

Celebrating the end of summer and kicking off piano month with footage from 1940’s Coney Island paired with a piano improv soundtrack… CAPRICE (music): Original solo piano improvisation performed live at Bakery Sound + Vision and engineered by Stacy Carson. This was my "cool-down" piece during the session; it almost didn't become part of this project -- but this Coney Island footage revealing unexpected dark underpinnings seemed perfect for it. CONEY ISLAND - 1940 - Castle Films (footage): This film primarily focuses on Coney Island's great amusement park in its heyday – beginning with an aerial view of the beach and then focuses in on throngs of people lying on the sand and strolling along the boardwalk. Soon afterward, the film transitions to a carnival sideshow barker, and eventually to a series of rides – many of which would be considered dangerous by today's standards. Original footage available at Prelinger Archives: http://archive.org/details/ConeyIsl1940 SYNCH (project): Collection of nine solo piano improvisations synched to public domain footage. Although the music was recorded long before I curated the footage, both are inseparable to me now :) Music composed and performed by Jeannie Novak. ℗ © 2001 Jeannie Novak #jeannienovak #summer #coneyisland #piano #beach #rollercoaster #acoustic #indie #keyboard #musician #music #musicvideo
