November 29, 2007 - I'm BackAfter an extended trip out to NYC, I picked up a few ideas (to say the least) - so here's one of the first, a very warm trance-inducing piece. I was considering doing an entire collection of pieces like this - as it was quite fun to make. Also, I have no idea what that bowed stringed instrument is called - so, if you do - please let me know. November 15, 2007 - Redoing Other People's MusicLast night, I went to see Saltimbanco from Cirque du Soleil. While the acts were fine, the music was very dated, and often not appropriate to the performances. For me - it detracted from the show quite a bit (though I will say most people enjoyed it, as it got a standing ovation). This music replaces the music in the hand balancing act. Power, precision, and grace, yeah? Not exactly Sunday jazz in the park. [original after the jump] What can one person do about this? Answer? iPod. I rescored one act last night for a couple of friends of mine who were going to see it today. Hand Balance Redux. The timing might get off near the end... as I obviously can't play this live for you. If this goes over well, I might rescore the whole show, so let me know what you think! Cirque's live music consisted of 2 keyboardists, guitar, bass, drums, and one guy who doubled on soprano and tenor sax. So the piece I did, I scored for 5 musicians kit (with MIDI triggers), percussionist (concert toms), 2 keyboards (Running Logic and Mainstage), and violin. (It will also need a tech to run the drum triggers.) Hear the original here: November 13, 2007 - You Tube?Ok... I knew I was on YouTube in a few things. But randomly today, I found out just how many. I picked out three things... completely unrelated, and found my music in all three. (unattributed. seriously people, how much am I asking for here?) So I went to look at the Recently Featured. I am in number 4, 5, and 7 of the top ten. This is crazy. I should be getting more jobs. Dear everyone; Thank you. - Kevin MacLeod November 08, 2007 - Someone need to sing-along?I'm just finishing up a pile of sing-along Christmas pieces for a stage production. Being seasonal, I decided to get them out as soon as possible. Super-peppy sing-alongs! Right now, they are the first four pieces on this page. "Up on a Housetop", "Jingle Bells", "Deck the Halls", and "Oh, Christmas Tree". Cheers, everyone!
