New & hot: Classical

For Tom Blackwell.  Tom was a very active funk drummer on the Portland ME scene in the 80s and 90s. I played with Tom for about ten years until 2017 or so. We had a lot of fun. Tom's ability to write music is unusual for a drummer. Tom's compositions were always well thought out, fun, and interesting. He usually sang his songs too. Tom was also a first in class sound engineer. I had hoped to spend time learning sound from Tom after I retire. Alas, I'll be using a Quija board to get tips now.

I'll keep plugging away at this piece. I have to say, it felt like Tom had input. Maybe I don't need a Quija Board after all.

Another movie inspired piece of music. It was Halloween, and I was watching the 1932 version of “The Mummy”. Watching Boris Karloff playing Imhotep the high priest of Amenhotep III inspired me to write a horn fanfare for entering his grand palace. The next day,  after listening to the fanfare, I started writing the main French Horn theme and then joined them in one piece. 

This piece has Cal Rustad on French Horn and Iryna Markevych on the violin.

Starlight...twinkling stars, high up in space, will light up triggered by the bright notes of a piano. No specific composition, but just a small intuitive played melody in the evening.

“There is nothing permanent except change.” – Heraclitus.

The music industry (like many things) has changed greatly since I bought my first 45 record (Green Eyed Lady) at my hometown record shop in 1970. It would be very easy to lament over these changes (and I have.) However, with change comes new opportunities, and thanks to websites/apps like Soundcloud we musicians and composers have the opportunity to to be heard as never before. So thank you Soundcloud and thank you for visiting my page. - Jim Combs
