December 2006 Archives

« November 2006 | Main | January 2007 »

December 23, 2006 - The Weasel

This piece came out of a piano sketch I did a few days ago, but really took flight during the orchestral arrangement. The very low English horn line brings a lot of character to the piece. It is supported by bassoons, and later, a bass clarinet.

Unlike last week's Bach Sinfonia, this piece has a lot of potential for film. Animators out there, you listening to this?

Behold! The Scheming Weasel! (available in 2 tempos!)

December 15, 2006 - The Challenge

On December 1st, Brian Lemin paid me a compliment by saying that every piece of my music was "good for something". A challenge was born. Could I make a piece of music which was literally without use? It is quite a challenge. A random cacophony of noises are useful in some situations, so it had to be structured. I think I may have the answer: a fusion of Bach's Sinfonia No. 3 with a contemporary beat. Surely, there is no use for this music!

Also new today are a couple of ragtime pieces, as I see the Silent Film Score music is pretty popular these days: Mister Exposition, Matter of Facts.

Other pieces new today are:

Looks like eight new ones today. Enjoy!

December 11, 2006 - Work People and Film Folks

By special request, there is not a month-on-a-page calendar that only shows Monday through Friday (or whatever Monday and Friday are called in those other languages...)

Nifty, huh?

Also by request of a friend of mine, the Storyboard maker has a dealie where you can enter the name of your production, and it'll print it as a header to make your storyboard seem more official, despite your unintelligible scrawlings.

If you're a director who works only during the week, well - this is an embarrassment of an update for you.

December 08, 2006 - Music and Utility

Finally added a keyword search to the music section. One can finally look up a piece, given only the title. Thanks Ivan!

And now, to the new selections! In increasing order of goodness...

  • Pilot Error - Rock.
  • Two Together - Contemporary piano solo.
  • Wizardtorium - Orchestral; I think I used to have this on the site, long ago. It is worth a listen.
  • Easy Jam - Reggae in a minor key. C minor, to be exact.

Man, I was in the mood for reggae...
Enjoy!

December 02, 2006 - House Cleaning Part One

I have a lot of music hanging out on my PC. iTunes informs me there are 1146 pieces that I wrote weighing in at 1.7 days, and 11+ gig. This is not the entirety of my stuff. I have a lot of projects that I started, and never made it quite to the end. To rectify the situation, I started putting finishing touches on things I started over 4 years ago. And that's a chunk of what's available in this update.

In Electronica I've added: Misuse, Thinking Out Loud, Cognitive Dissonance, The Way Out, Long Time Coming, and Overriding Concern.
In Rock, I added Aitech.
Peppy Pepe is a new contemporary piano piece.
Peppy Pepe in Latin.
Exotics in unclassifiable.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies in holiday.

None of the compositions are really new - just unreleased. The new ones are starting to pile up as well... I'll get them online when I can!

Cheers.
