played through my PA in the studio, and yes the low end adds a lot to the picture. Aprt from all else there is a beauty here as the listener gets captured in the nuances and subtle shifts. It is totally hypnotic and as always intellectually fascinating

Fascinating creation, feeling simultaneously like something very alien, and like something organic and welcoming.  Great creativity and thought went into it, and inspired choice of inspiration from both the standpoint of ideas about art and aesthetics, and qualities of the sounds themselves.

...this really is magnificent, David - exactly the sort of music I've been looking for. As others have mentioned, it's clearly highly intellectual while still being palatable. Not an easy tightrope to walk by any stretch!

Slow Waltz
for chamber ensemble

to Liana, with love

Originally for piano (Composed in November 2023)
This arrangement was made in two-and-a-half hours on 9th December 2023. 

Slow Waltz, for ensemble (2023)

All That Jazz was composed as a piece for a cycle of Nocturnes which eventually became 'Facing the Night'. On reviewing the piece, I considered it to be sufficient as a standalone piece and as an exploration of highly chromatic jazz. Listen in for a quotation of a jazz standard!

The doctors didn't know what was wrong with my lumbar area. They said it was a herniated disk. Later it was found to be a diabetic complication that ate the nerves away from my lumbar area. Only 0.000000000000000875% of the population get this. i am very lucky.

An early ditty from 2002, for piano solo. The second in the piano collection series.

This is my fourth symphony, and I am using new software that sounds better. The new software is not microtonal friendly, therefore, there will be two versions: standard and poly microtonal. This version is in 12tet and it is still highly polytempic. Each choir of the orchestra is moving separately in Fuxian contrapuntal motions, such as, contrary, parallel, similar and oblique, with respect to tempi changes in the choirs.

Another fact about this piece is that it uses many fragments of Gregorian chant from the Liber Usualis and is scattered throughout the single movement piece. The chants are of various lengths and are brief. The form could be considered a type of "variation" form; even if the chants are not literally repeated, they do act as a type of chaconne, over which the symphony plays and explores.

As of today, Sep. 4th, 2025, a finished mix is uploaded and will remain the finished midi version of this piece in 12tet using NotePerformer.

Symphony IV: melodiae perpetuae in polytempic polytonality

This is a composite of 12 tracks: 4 strings, 4 pianos, and 4 drumsets all in four different tempos and 4 different tunings. All instruments are playing the original Hypercube score! No added notes.

Piano II #2

Piano II #3

1983 
4.3.3.3 – 3.4.3.1 hp, celeste, 3 perc. Strings
This early work, composed when a student at the Royal College of Music, is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s famous Jabberwocky from ‘Through the Looking Glass’. 
It is suitable for youth orchestras and presents appropriate challenges to students of c. Grade 7 and 8 standards.
This recording is of the premiere performance given by the Royal College of Music Sinfonia conducted by Christopher Adey.

Homework - 2018 - 22

[This music benefits from a full-sized loudspeaker.  Headphones will typically lack the requisite low-frequency response.] 

Artists interested in formal methods tend to get advice of two quite opposite sorts.  Purists urge presenting the structure objectively, so not gilding the lily.  Hedonists see structure as merely a spur to creativity, and thus, in the final product, best hidden (if not simply erased or discarded) by subjective, emotive elaborations.

Curiously, purity itself sometimes distracts from that kept pure.  Perception can get dominated by very general notions of rigidity, regularity, (near) repetition, and in the case of music, fatigue to the ear.  

The title advertises a middle course.   The structural idea involves Egyptian fraction decomposition of unity: ways to segment a monochord into distinct lengths to that each one vibrates as a harmonic of the unstopped string.   Using 6 segments, there exist 2320 ways to do this (ignoring the ordering of the segments).  Some of these involve segments so short that they vibrate so high that the tones will span an interval wider than the range of human hearing.  This piece enumerates the musically useful quarter of the catalog.  The sets of tones get applied both melodically and for building the timbres that project the melodies.  

 Sorted in one obvious way, the catalog has a particular natural large-scale harmonic logic.

The catalog gets embellished with rubato - changes in attack, decay, tempo, rate of tempo change and the use of repetition.   These non- structural details actually seem to make easier concentrating on the subtle particulars of the emergent microtonal harmonic progressions and the voice leading.  Despite zero connection to traditional music theory here, the C major prelude in the WTC might seem a distant ancestor.
