NEVER pronounce something a Symphony movement unless you have thought about it for at least six months (which I did not do). I have been reading a book by Rimsky Korsakov (again) about composition for strings. Hopefully some of what he wrote is beginning to sink in. It took me 1,161 other works before I attempted my first symphony movement...though in fact, I did not set out to try and make a symphony movement. It would be more accurate to say that it made itself, when my careless languorous muse was good and ready. I shall now engage in Symphony pronouncement regret syndrome, until I come to my senses and rename the piece.

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  Work on my violin sonata is proceeding well.  My new symphony, "Symphony for Chamber Orchestra," is posted and waiting for you.  rjb

Scores and parts for many of my works are available from my publisher Creative Spirit Music Publications. Go to  https://www.creativespiritonline.com and select "Robert John Brooks." There, you can also follow the score while listening to a recording.

My music is fully notated and is intended for live performance by live musicians.

After completing my doctorate in composition in 1979 from UNT, I took 30 years off from composing to join the computer software revolution as a software engineer.  In 2010 I began composing again and have not stopped. So, I find myself beginning (restarting?) a composition career rather late in life...but that's OK.  Most of the works posted here were written since 2010. 

Thanks for visiting.

Music, Sound and Programming are old time passions. I'm posting various things here. Some recorded nearly 30 years ago, classical guitar with Roland D5 multi tracked with two tape decks.

Modular pieces are recorded live without editing ... pure impro and tweaking.

Aleatoric Journeys are generated programmatically with an application I'm working on. Output is a midi file.
The tracks are rendered in LMMS with free plugins.

Meditation tracks are produced with the current version of my application.
Midi file is now much more elaborate.
It's just rendered with timidity. Effects are added in audacity. It's based on a mutable sequence concept I'm working on.
The sequences are periodically mutating at a given frequency and level giving an ever changing sequence. For recent pieces the sequences can be set back to the original periodically and then will evolve again.


Meditation Three is another improvement in the process as all tracks are rendered individually, then mixed in audacity.

When creating this application I always tried to make things sound like they were actually played. The purpose for me is to be able to work at a concept level to capture the ideas before they go away and in a way try to compensate my ADH.

Almost all tracks are free to download and covered by a Creative Commons license. Collaborations / Remixes are welcome so feel free to experiment - no need to get my permission first. Just send me a link to your track when you're done :)

I love listening to & creating ambient, dark ambient, avant-garde & experimental electronica (and the occasional beatscape). I have no professional aspirations  - I just really like creating music / manipulating sounds. It's my way of relaxing after a hard day at the office. All my tracks are produced using monitoring headphones (Audix A140) so I recommend that you listen to my music through headphones. My DAW of choice is FL Studio. I also use Reason every now & then. 


To the artists I follow; I do my best to try to listen to as many of your tracks as possible each night (I listen to each track all the way through - you went through the effort to create a track so you deserve to have it heard in full). If I miss a recent upload of yours, please forgive me...

Thank you for taking the time to visit my little corner of the soundcloud.
