Compositions

Live recording of my recent piece Insomnia (for solo piano) played by Andrew Hung a few days ago for Dr. Chang. Recording was just done on a cheap audio recording device (Olympus DM-720).

Michael Kirchmayer's compositions

De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas (solo oboe)

Enter the Void - Part I (flute, cello, and piano)

Enter The Void - Part I (07 - 04 - 17)

For this piece, I recorded the sounds of ocean waves to be the main pulse and motif of the piece. I manipulated the waves through frequency modulation, amplitude modulation, pitch shifting, and chorus effects. I also used midi mapped knobs and faders to adjust different parameters of synth sounds to correspond with the pulse of the waves in real time to give the composition a more organic feel.
