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

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

Piano Concerto No.1

Piano Concerto No.1; 2nd Movement

Piano Concerto No 1;  2nd 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

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

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.

The Electra Suite

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

Kalib's Dream

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

None

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

Lately I've been naming tracks after things I hear in my dreams. The phrase usually goes 'tomorrow is another day,' something usually said after a loss or when making a justification. But today is that day, when you think about it. 

Today Is Another Day

Halloween is my favorite holiday and this track has a sort of macabre glee to it.

October Dance

This alternative rock track just has a kind of uplifting feel to it, so I named it Sanctus.

Sanctus

I tend to name my works after listening to them and this alternative rock track could really only have one title.

Latin Rhapsody No 1

We're talking Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, so yeah, let's party down with our favorite Wiccan friends and this alternative rock track.

Solstice Celebration

This alternative rock track is a dark and mysterious jaunt through the Black Forest.

Black Forest Murmurs

This alternative rock track is the prelude to a new suite called Secrets of the Heart.

Secrets of the Heart

Secrets of the Heart Prelude

1st Movement of the Secrets of the Heart Suite. A driving, alternative rock track, invoking flight (of the Heart) and chasing after it.

Secrets of the Heart 1st Movement

The second movement of the Suite called Secrets of the Heart, this one more introspective

Secrets of the Heart Movement 2

This is the third movement of the Suite called Secrets of the Heart

Secrets of the Heart Movement 3

This alternative rock track is the fourth movement in the Secrets of the Heart Suite.

Secrets of the Heart 4th Movement

Secrets of the Heart Movement 4

The fifth movement of the Secrets of the Heart Suite. Each movement is a different sort of secret and this one is about the godhead in everyone.

Secrets of the Heart Movement 5

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

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. A classically trained composer and performer, his major influences include classical composers such as Mozart and Beethoven as well as classic rock groups such as The Beatles, The B52s, Yes and Frank Zappa, to name a few.
