Ode To J. 04:00
(April 9, 2018) It's been a year since we lost you. Some would argue longer, since the day you handed the keys to the just man and the wolf who would proclaim you guile in name as well as in deed. I waited thirty years for the door to open, to see the legend and hear the magic without dissipation or disappointment. I would hold a feast in your honor on Monkey Island and the Big M should lead the toast. Farewell, John. I don't know how they found you; maybe armed, with a bottle of rage or sadness, but I hope you found warmth and heaven amidst the ghosts of Chicago, the Kings and heroes of your youth, as you were a hero to me. Namahalo. ©℗ 2018 J. M. Smig / Sophisticated Schizophrenic.

Originally released 2009, remastered (1-9) and revised (10-18) 2018.

“Salem, Mass. based J.M. Smig presents contemporary music for the bizarre at heart. Featuring both conventional and atypical instrumentation and composition techniques, [his] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other. Songs present everything from momentous, Philip Glass-like sweeps to old-school MIDI music and Baroque-era voice leading and structure. For J.M. Smig, anything goes!”
(PIck of the Week, Electronic Musician newsletter, May 2009)

about

J. M. Smig Salem, Massachusetts

The musical equivalent of the guy at the party who offends everyone by mooning the camera (but guess what everyone does to the camera minutes later), Smig is the Witch City's composer laureate (not a difficult achievement, in all honesty).

"[C]ontemporary music for the bizarre at heart...[His] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other."
