These are my interpretations of Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt.  Also, I added Puck, even though it is not in the suite... I did this because, well it's Puck...

Peer Gynt's Peer

28 audio tracks representing all of the instruments in the 1875 Peer Gynt score by Edvard Grieg. Norwegian goodness!

From Wikipedia: The piece is played as the title character Peer Gynt, in a dream-like fantasy, enters "Dovregubbens (the troll Mountain King's) hall". 

There is a great crowd of troll courtiers, gnomes and goblins. Dovregubben sits on his throne, with crown and sceptre, surrounded by his children and relatives. Peer Gynt stands before him. There is a tremendous uproar in the hall.

This is Grieg's Anitra's Dance. This interpretation consists of 17 tracks. I created a fender rhodes part from the pizzicato of the violins, viola and cello to accompany the violin and cello solo parts. In addition, i added some temple bells and of course scored a drum track which was absent in the original. I hop you enjoy it!

The song is in the key of A minor and the tempo is 160 BPM. That is a little faster than the score indicates the tempo should be but I like it at this speed.

This is just my extended track, Enjoy :)

Austin Farwell - The Feeling of Being in Love

This is a eight track interpretation of Opus 71's Puck written by Edvard Grieg. It is a lyric piece for piano, to which I have substituted Electric Guitar, Synthesizer, Piano Samples and other sounds.  It is quick and fast, and this is my interpretation. I'm really proud of the drums....

Modest Mussorgski: The old castle - Cover by Spektralfarben (Remix 2017)

I found an old box of cassettes with a couple of gems in it. One actually has my final project from an electronic music composition class I took in 1979. I was poking my nose into dusty corners in the basement of the music building at the University of Arizona, and found a rack of wire wrapped circuit boards with a terminal, a couple of 8" floppy drives, and an 88 key keyboard attached! I started asking around, and learned that it was one of the 5 prototypes of the Micor Coupland digital synthesizer. It had been left by a professor who had retired, and no one knew anything about it. So being me, I asked if I could play around with it. They made me take the 400 level class (as a sophomore) to get access to it, and I happily obliged, and got a couple of friends to help me haul it out of the basement and set it up in the 8-track studio. Now keep in mind that in 1979 no one had even considered a digital synthesizer, and you could count the polyphonic synths in the WORLD on one hand. Here was a FULLY (88-note) polyphonic DIGITAL synth! So I set about putting it all back together, started sticking floppies in until I found one that actually booted up, and I was off and running.
It was based on the TI-9900 microprocessor. Sounds were created by entering an equation that gave voltage as a function of time. It had 2 oscillators, the main oscillator and a modulation oscillator, and an ADSR that controlled the amplitude. The keyboard was the only "performance" control - all other real-time changes to the sound had to be commanded on the terminal. I learned to type with one hand while playing with the other.
Anyway, this is what came out of a fun-filled semester playing with this beast. I am putting it up here strictly for its historical significance; to showcase what this synth could have become if Micor hadn't pulled the funding.
There is a little bit of info on it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupland_Digital_Music_Synthesizer - but the story I heard (from a girl I was dating, who's father was a friend of Rick Coupland) was that Rick was so mad when Micor pulled the funding that he destroyed all of the documentation, and wouldn't even talk about the project to anyone after that. This MAY be the only surviving recording of this magnificent instrument.

We Dream Of Eden - When I Looked Up

Cavatina by Stanley Myers. The famous John Williams arrangement.
This piece was recorded for Jean from the Booterstown Guitar Circle.

Eimear kindly gave me a loan of her David Adams guitar for this recording. It has a lovely woody, mellow tone that really suits this piece.

This is 12 tracks of audio representing my take on Edvard Greig's Morning Mood.  I hope you enjoy it. this is the first pass at mixing and I may change a few instruments. I need to listed to it over and over before I determine that....

Morning Mood - Morgenstemning i ørkenen

This is from Peer Gynt and is the Death of Ase or Åses død. The piece is in B Minor. I redid my original version and paired it down for a minimalist approach.  I put the tempo of the piece at 40 BPM for more gravitas, as if it didn't have enough already!

Death of Ase - Åses død

I create electronic music in the spirit of Tomita and Wendy Carlos. I also like to rock and am into Pink Floyd. I have been a user of Cakewalk since version 1.0 and currently use Reason, Cakewalk and Audacity along with a studio full of electronic instruments and effects. I play with local musicians and I work at composing electronic renditions of classical music.
