The first in a "one a month or so" series of tracks from TCSO, or The Claremont Symphony Orchestra - the baby of Australian songwriter Chris Szkup, featuring core members Dennis Leeflang (drums) and Rob Lundgren (vocals) along with himself, as well as guest players on certain tracks, so far including Mathew Szkup (guitar) and Paul Jolley (piano), with possibly more to come.
Due to the geographical distance between the members and the guest players on some songs, Chris felt it necessary to adopt a "collective" type name for the project, and at the same time wanted to use it to pay a little nod to where he grew up in Claremont, Tasmania - it's meant to indicate in a way that as these songs were for the most part composed by Chris, these songs were born in Claremont. Some of them literally were.
All of these songs will gradually be revealed as time (and finances) allow, and when complete, will form a "collection" type album which will be available on the usual digital outlets and on the store at
www.cs-songs.com however until completion, the best and fastest way to purchase the songs as they are released will be right here on bandcamp. You also have the option to throw in a little tip if you desire and pay more than the listed price for the song. This will help future songs be released faster, however this is completely optional, and you can even just listen to the songs in full for free and not buy at all - up to you!
