Yes, this experimental electronic track is quite dramatic. It made me think of Spy vs Spy from the old Mad Magazine.(before my time.)

Dramatic Interlude

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

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

A Little More Night Music; Movement 4

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The finale to the Secrets of the Heart Suite and a bit of a metamorphosis ensues.

Secrets of the Heart Finale

Those in the know, know about the underground railroad and parts of it still exist beneath Baltimore as my buddies and I discovered one snowy evening. I suppose this is my own version of 'Music Concrete.'

Charm City

Train to Baltimore

Something out of the blue. I wanted to do a small pipe organ concert work.

Toccata No Fugue

This is the (painstakingly) remixed and (somewhat less painstakingly) remastered version of Last Train Out, from the 4 Good Measure Album

4 Good Measure

Last Train Out

This is a new alternative rock music suite called The Book Of Invention and this is the P.relude

The Book Of Invention Prelude

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

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

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.
