The eclectic in-progress works of composer and crossover singer-songwriter-poet Silvanus Slaughter, or Silvio, as he is regionally known in the Southern U.S.A. After a career in filmmaking and writing, Slaughter went into seclusion in 2005 and began feverishly composing and recording. His prolific, eclectic output has been assembled into two interlocking marathon series: "Constellations Compromised Vols. I -III," and "Symphonic Jazz Abstractions, Vols. I - VII". Silvio has also assembled "Little Dream: A Suite for Piano," "Cool Jazz Impressions of Sweet Piece," and several scores for short features.

I rarely do covers, but Karen Carpenter's classic called out. I felt I had something of my own to add.
