Film – “Pendulum Swings”

Original Release Date — January 8, 2011

Pendulum Swings

Written by John Keogh
Directed by Bill Rahn
Composed by Jeff Hartman
Produced by Adam Melton

Pendulum Swings follows a man into a dark place in his life — a place at which he arrives through a combination of bad decisions and forces beyond his control. When he finally hits bottom, he is presented with an opportunity to climb out of his despair with a helping hand from a small number of people who could have chosen to judge him or write him off, but choose instead to offer compassion and grace.

Featuring the music of Tyler Ricketts, Hartman, Jeff Hartman, Immanuel Bible Church Orchestra, Rachel Belman, Makenzie Marie, Avalon, Paul Cummings, and Phil Driscoll.

Album – “More (The Black Album)”

More is more.

Original Release Date — September 5, 2005

More (The Black Album)
In Memory of David Black, Old House Recording Studio

*1. Swell (A Prelude)

A jam turned prelude.

2. Nerl

Nerl represents a time and place in my life when poetry and romance and one particular girl found me.

*3. 10 Brookside Blues

5:29 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

It’s all about jealousy and her address.

†4. Muse

8:38 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Banjo, Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

Muse is about writing songs for the wrong reasons. Too often songwriters are guilty of writing songs in an effort to promote some sort of hidden agenda, whether it’s political or “scoring with a chick.”

5. Where I’ve Been (Doesn’t Matter Now)

A sarcastic tribute to those who lose their identities to relationships.

6. Epiphany

On the rebound.

7. More

8:19 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

More is hopeless romanticism at its best. More is more.

*8. Déjà Vu

6:55 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

That feeling we’ve all experienced at one point or another.

‡9. September Song

This tune is about commitment. Carol Anne and I met on stage in the spring of 1996 and soon fell in love during fall production of The Fantasticks at The Green Room Community Theatre of Newton, North Carolina. I asked for Carol’s hand in marriage with the cloak and dagger help of friends and family on the second Saturday night in September of 1999 and wed one year later on the ninth day in September of the year 2000. The ceremony was held on stage in the Charles E. Jeffers Theatre of Hickory Community Theatre.

10. Kiss the Frog

5:23 | Bass, Vocals: Micah Davidson | Guitar, Vocals: Tony Eltora | Drums, Vocals: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

Folk is a dish best served funky through the eyes of a toddler.

11. The Blues

My favorite color is blue.
