"Paranoid Android" by Radiohead; cover and performance by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Featured on "When Words Fade" -- bit.ly -- an album (with bonus DVD) by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo on the Steinway Record Label. Order it now: bit.ly Recorded live in concert at the Fox Theater in Spokane, WA (May 3, 2009). www.andersonroe.com This was the premiere of our arrangement for two pianos. In creating our cover of "Paranoid Android," we drew inspiration from the song's epic scope, the lyrics' strikingly evocative images, and Thom Yorke's emotive singing. Our treatment of the musical material, however, is far from literal; the arrangement takes on a life of its own as it strays from the original's structure and elaborates frenetically on melodic motives. As a tribute to Radiohead's iconoclastic spirit, we have put our own Anderson & Roe stamp on the song. Original Song Lyrics Please could you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android) When I am king, you will be first against the wall With your opinion which is of no consequence at all What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android) What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but no android) Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking and squealing gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his ...

"Stayin' Alive," the classic 1970s hit, as interpreted by the Anderson & Roe Piano Duo. Due to the slow tempos that recur throughout our version, we have dubbed this piece "Turtle Stayin' Alive," a nod to the "Tortoises" movement of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals (which slows down the "Can-Can," another popular dance tune). "Stayin' Alive" not only gets hearts pumping with its catchy beat, but the song can also literally save lives (!): firstaid.about.com Don't miss our website: www.andersonroe.com PRODUCED BY The Anderson & Roe Piano Duo MUSIC: "Turtle Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees, Greg Anderson, & Elizabeth Joy Roe PIANISTS: The Anderson & Roe Piano Duo AUDIO RECORDING ENGINEER: Eugene Kimball DANCERS (*also camera person): Sumayya Ahmad Greg Anderson* Carl Berdahl* Larissa Chiulli Keats Dieffenbach* Omar Ibrahim Andrew Kobets* Mike Ma Elizabeth Joy Roe* Nick Romeo Noreen Singh Jordan Slowshower Mai Uchida Jennie Yuhas* VIDEO EDITING: Greg Anderson .

Just as Mozart appropriated the Turkish style into his "Rondo alla turca," we've appropriated the music of Mozart into our own. We've titled the piece "Ragtime alla turca" and although it diverts considerably from the notes of Mozart's rondo, we sought to capture the utter joyousness and virtuosity -- and the folksiness and sense of play -- of the original work. Piece: "Ragtime alla turca" (based on Mozart's "Rondo alla turca" from his Sonata in A major, K. 331. Composers: Greg Anderson & Elizabeth Joy Roe Performers: The Anderson & Roe Piano Duo ( www.andersonroe.com ) Venue The Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox (Spokane, Washington) Filmed live in concert, May 3, 2009.
