Oak Park from Forward by Chad McCullough
I wrote this while sitting in Antwerp, Belgium during a tour with my great friend Bram Weijters (who helped me write this tune). Frank Lloyd Wright's studio was in Oak Park, and there are a ton of houses he designed there. I am a huge fan of architecture and wanted to write something inspired by that. Musically, the precision of the odd-meter sections alternates with the folk-like melody, and the entire piece is through-composed to give it a sort of structural logic.
