about

For all its intricacy, Stories in Real Time also trades in the simple pleasure of song. Solivan is alluring on the darkly hued waltz-time ballad "Bliss," co-written by Harper and HiPNOTIC label head Tony Haywood, with an arrangement by Baltimore bass clarinetist (and HiPNOTIC recording artist) Todd Marcus. The song first appeared on The Onus's self-titled debut of 1997. "This was our first chance to record it with a vocalist," notes Harper. "It was a nice moment for me, the way all these people from different periods in my life came together—Tony from college, Marianne from Boston, Todd from my time in Baltimore."
