More odd music.

• Variation on Egmont

This is possibly the most accurate and worst title of my career. It is an electronic-soaked variation of a theme or 2 from Beethoven’s Egmont Overture. If you know the original work, and recognize the title, you’ll probably download and not like the piece – because it doesn’t have any of the brilliance of Beethoven’s pacing.
If you like dance/techno, you probably won’t download this because the title makes it look like something classical.
It has a weird polyrhythm feel because the Overture theme is in a different time signature than the rest of this piece. I did change up the theme in bits and parts, but I mainly kept the off-time feel. You can let it wash over you and be fine – if you think too hard about it – it gets… tough.
Ending is open to mix into your stuff cleanly.

Its new music!

• Hotrock

Yes, I know… quite a stunning title.
Starting scant days ago, I just got better reporting softwares for my web site. It is now apparent that people like the rock music… which is interesting – because I’m not very good at it, or at least I don’t _think_ I’m very good at it.
I don’t understand rock. I don’t understand what people like about rock. I just plain don’t get it.
What’s the difference between a good rock piece and a weak piece? I don’t know. If there was a seminar on the matter, I would probably attend. It might be one of those things you have to be brought up with to understand.
If anyone would like to forward their theory of rock music production to me, that’d be great. I have a feeling much of it will revolve around singing and lyrics, though.

A couple more piano pieces…

• Vision of Persistence
  
• Cryptic Sorrow
  

Both of these are very quiet and light.
“Vision of Persistence” is a piece based on a rhythm on a single note.
“Cryptic Sorrow” I put together as a response to a post in an earlier article about filmmakers looking for longer pieces of music for longer scenes, or scoring over multiple scenes.
I really wish I had more to say about these, but I was pretty tired when I recorded them, and I’m pretty tired now. So feel free to make up your own commentary on them.

An interesting impromtu with context!

There’s quite a story, read on for elucidation.

Hi everyone. It has been a while. I’m working on a theater project, and I don’t have much time to do new free stuffs. But I did do one today.

• Whimsy Groove

For some reason, I got 4 unrelated emails in 4 consecutive days – all about my African compositions. That is very very odd. That brings the one-year total to 6. I took it as a sign, and wrote another piece.
