Name: Attunement by Clayton Clemetson
Duration: 3 min 58 s
Description: This piece weaves intricately distorted echos of a piano with field recordings and electronically generated tones. It came into being during a class on electronic music at Marlboro College. My original concept was inspired by fractals and the idea that a piece could unfold from a single echo.

My first fully orchestral piece.

This song took me on a journey, let it take you on one too.

Red Dawn

A piece I composed as the leaves turned gold outside my bedroom window.

In this newer version I changed some of the material and orchestration towards the end of the piece and switched the sample library to my new VSL instruments.

Autumn Fire (New)

Edinburgh, Scotland is haunted.  Around every corner there are graveyard or underground ghost tours.  But in Edinburgh visitors seek out the spirits to confront a blank page, to shoo away distractions, and to let you know when you've done enough or not.  Maybe it's the Scottish ales, but we hear spirits speak to us when we feel we are in the wrong place or overreaching.  With the help of Kirsten Adamson, a local musician, I wrote this song.  It was inspired by these feelings and the chapter of a random book I grabbed off my shelf one evening that I intended to use as a makeshift clipboard in the Café Royal.  Robert Tristram Coffin, a Maine writer, was comparing the works of New England poets in this particular book.  I opened it out of blank page frustration and discovered a chapter called, "The Artist in the Wrong World."  Perhaps Scottish ales inspired me that evening, but I think it was an old Maine ghost.

The Artist In The Wrong World

Sometimes it's nice to just stand still and let the world pass you by.

THE BANNER SAGA: Huddled in the Shadows

I am happy to release my newest track "Mysterious Revelation".  

Mysterious Revelation - New!

Written winter 2014/2015
On orange cushions watching the past disappear through the filter of many windows.  No matter how much broken glass, there still remains some intact separating us, editing us.
All the breath made me feel alive, but you were just blowing out the candle.  Now all my colors are muted. It's a scape I just can't handle. A hand to hold, stone cold.

A Hand To Hold

Better Bring a Yak

This piece weaves intricately distorted echos of a piano with field recordings and electronically generated tones. It came into being during a class on electronic music at Marlboro College. My original concept was inspired by fractals and the idea that a piece could unfold from a single echo.

Attunement

A song written by a fiddler friend.  We performed it together, along with another fiddler and a drummer.

Madeleine's Waltz

A Cynic Is Forged

I am a song leader, pianist, accordionist, composer, and educator in self-directed and outdoor programs. I have toured half-a-dozen countries performing and teaching international choral polyphonies with Village Harmony, performed as a contra dance pianist, scored short films, written music for choirs, and produced a couple of albums. I do some other things too but this is my music spot! Enjoy!
