It's So Fine

Sonnet #3; It's So Fine

A spy movie kind of soundtrack. This is #5 in the series of 'Sonnets,' which are songs-they have lyrics and soon will have vocal tracks.

Breaking the Rules of Harmony

Sonnet #5; Breaking The Rules Of Harmony

Felt inspired to a longer work in a definitive sonata form.

Piano Concerto No.1

Piano Concerto No.1; 1st Movment

Piano Concerto No. 1 ; 1st Movement

The second movement of the Piano Concerto in a minor, a modern classical work.

Piano Concerto No.1; 2nd Movement

Piano Concerto No 1;  2nd Movement

The Finale to my first piano concerto. I have decided to call this concerto 'The Incorrigibles.' This is because I fell in with a group of incorrigibles in music school who saved me from a life of classical music.

Piano Concerto No.1; 3rd Movement

Piano Concerto No 1; 3rd Movement

Thought I would do something a bit more chill, after the piano concerto. So this is a serenade or nocturne, if you will. The title is a play on the famous work Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, (A Little Night Music.)

A Little More Night Music

A Little More Night Music; Movement 1

A Little More Night Music Movement 1

This is the second movement of 'A Little More Night Music,' the experimental electronic serenade. I suppose this movement could be called 'Nocturne.'

A Little More Night Music; Movement 2

A Little More Night Music Movement 2

This is the finale to the little four movement serenade or nocturne, if you will, called A Little More Night Music. This experimental electronic  collection has a different sort of instrumentation.

A Little More Night Music; Movement 4

It's kind of Russian, Rachmaninoff-like. I like the rhythms and the horns. It's kind of back to the short form and using key relationships rather than worrying about transitions.

Caprice Number 1

A rondo is sort of an extended song form only instead of A B A, it kind of goes; A B A C A D and so on. This is a happy hardcore look at an old form.

Heavy Metal Rondo

What you believe is returned in the reflection, which is life.

None

Reflection

The first movement of a new suite of experimental electronic and synthpop music.

The Electra Suite

Electra Suite Movement 1

As I embarked on this project of creating the Electra Suite, I started reading about the character Electra to see if I wanted to go with the Greek tragedy or the Marvel character and I decided they were both the same character; she is not a happy character. The Marvel character reforms a bit but the one in the Greek tragedy just gets the Furies dancing over her. This movement is the entrance of Clytemnestra, Electra's mum, who murdered her husband Agamemnon.

Electra Suite Movement 2; Clytemnestra

Electra Suite Movement 2; 'Clytemnestra'

This is the part of the story where Electra realizes 'you don't have to live like a refugee,' and seizes fate by the throat, so to speak. This synthpop track, as well as the other movements, reflects my own take on the story, minus the early propaganda which was introduced in the early plays. I wrote a blog post about this.

Electra Suite Movement 5; Twisting with the Fates

Electra Suite Movement 5 Twisting With the Fates

Just a happy go lucky kind of art rock tune. Let's all get on that Road Trip to Venus!

Road Trip to Venus

A bluesy kind of track with electric guitar, piano, saxophone and brass.

New Blues

An alternative rock track with no keyboards. More experimenting with modes.

none

Mad Funk

This alternative rock track is a crown jewel in one of Dizzy O'Brian's main themes, which is 'the return of magic.' This epic music track creates a cinematic music soundscape similar to his other experimental electronic and synthpop music tracks.

The Return of the Magic Bus

This is a soundtrack for the music of the spheres; the Cosmic sounds of the universe in a film score version with themes.

The Cosmic Symphony

This is an orchestral, soundtrack and it involves the story of a boy who goes to sleep and dreams his parents are aliens.

Kalib's Dream

A work that invokes the happy, joyful feelings of tramping through the countryside during spring.

Early Spring

The Warriors of Oz is a highly dramatic soundtrack, kind of inspired by the movie 'Return to Oz,' where Oz is taken back from the Gnome King. A cinematic work around an epic struggle between good and evil.

The Warriors of Oz

Back to the alternative rock with this energetic guitar duo with piano, brass and sax.

Fanning the Fire

It's a kind of a blues shuffle but a bit more driving than laid back.

Reshuffle

A very chill alternative rock track, in which I broke a lot of rules of Harmony I'm happy to say..

A Simple Change Of Mind

A Simple Change of Mind

This is the reverse vector of 'Sturm Und Drang.' So many rules of Harmony to break, so little time!

Sturm Und Dang

The title is a play on words, since we're referring to a musical cannon and I contend that the original cannon was improvised parts over a set chord progression. So perhaps we come full circle with this. In this one, the chord progression gets some variation as well since who can handle the same chord progression over and over, (except thousands of newlyweds?)

Loose Cannon

We've all heard the expression; 'You are what you eat,' but it's more like 'You are what you think.'

You Are What You Think

In the book, Tea With The Alien, the characters must cross back over the Pool Of Tears, to get out of The Tulgey Woods.

Across The Pool Of Tears

Moving back into the '4 Good Measure' realm, hence playing around with E flat Dorian. Don't ask where Romanian Rhapsodies 1-8 are.

Romanian Rhapsody No.9

Romanian  Rhapsody No.9

A very cinematic track that invokes a voyage by sailing ship.

The Voyage Of The Phoenix

Appalachian Swing has a dark ambient feel that reflects the mysteriousness of the Appalachians.

Appalachian Swing

Darkly humorous progressive rock track and the YouTube video is especially amusing.

Run Rabbit Run

Indie rock track Breakout No.2 is from the '4 Good Measure' album. (Don't ask where Breakout No. 1 is.)

4 Good Measure

Breakout No.2

Dizzy O'Brian's music encompasses everything from alternative rock to electro and ambient. With his imaginative coupling of acoustic and electric instruments, one might compare his sound to The Piano Guys or ELO but his music is completely Dizzy O'Brian
