Spite House

Spite House is a DIY venue in a very small live/work studio captured by an arm of Capitol Hill's runaway gentrification. A living and growing part of Seattle's music community meets here to feature a musician or ensemble for a semi-public audience of peers, guests, friends, family and friendly neighbors. Four resident curators, one for each Tuesday of the month, plays or invites others to play our

Snacks and drinks are free...hope to see you one of these Tuesdays!Opening Set:The Spite House Band opens the evening at 8:30 sharp every Tuesday night. This group features Spite House producers Stephen Fandrich (piano) and Billy Monteleone (reeds).

He brings a generation of composers and improvisors who were emerging and became a part of the improvisation momentum of the middle to late twentieth century and onward...2nd TuesdayCarol J Levin is a harpist with ties to Seattle's jazz community and an ever-widening circle of experimenting and improvising musicians. She has collaborated with small and large ensembles, and enjoys exploring ways to make the world's most angelic instrument a bad axe, too.3rd Tuesday Solvej Amelia Noa, dancer, spoken word artist, musician, functions from a deep commitment to connecting herself, and other humans, to the hearts of one another by way of the ceaselessly positive and transcendental genres of music and movement.4th TuesdayStephen Fandrich pianist, composer and producer of Spite House, presents an exploration of new solo piano compositions among piano improvisations and translations of icons such as Phil Ochs, Leonard Cohen and Alexander Scriabin.

Announcing the release of my new album:

Sweet Water
new music for solo piano

for Max and Karen

All composed and performed by yours truly, Stephen Fandrich.

Sweet Water is a collection of solo piano compositions steeped in the love of classical piano, improvisation, the harmony and rhythm of pure harmonic vibration, and especially the enchanting vocal and instrumental styles of Javanese Karawitan. All original compositions are gems of rare beauty and each is an expression of a gesture of water—sunlit vortices, calming nourishment, memory, your body afloat upon glassy deep water peaks and troughs under the stars, a river of harmony, and a delicate finale of love and purity.

Put your hands on a limited edition, exquisitely designed, fully mastered CD. CD's also come with a digital download code in 24bit resolution.

To order CD's drop by Spite House on a Tuesday night or order online at:

Gamelan Pacifica hosts a few original works of mine, most notably Iron Tears for gamelan and string quartet, performed by Gamelan Pacifica and Del Sol String Quartet, also, an arrangement of Philip Glass' piano piece Opening arranged for gamelan, and more. All are featured on incredibly high-quality, fully mastered recordings.

A heartfelt special thanks to Jarrad Powell and Gamelan Pacifica. Jarrad provided many tools and the inspiration needed to record, produce, and physically release this album in such wonderful beauty and fidelity.
