Playing with the elasticity of the pulse...Kronos, OB6, Argon8.

KELEMENOPY

Just 37 of the over 200 sounds I've created for the Korg Kronos, in just over 3 1/2 minutes!

Canto XXII

First new music in a while...I think there's a new lightness here, appropriate for the title.

SNOW

Call it contemporary classical with some electronics?--There may be a suite of weather-related titles in the works...

SPRING THAW

Theme and variations, to be part of a larger, weather-related suite; specifically composed for the unique timbre of the Rhodes family of EPs.

RAIN VARIATIONS

I imagine this will be part of this ongoing weather suite...

GALE FORCE

Dry Spell: a parched landscape....or a time of creative suspension, needing a refresh...

DRY SPELL

Part of this apparently-still-evolving weather-suite...

UNTIL THE FOG LIFTS

An uplifting finale for my developing weather-related suite.

SUNNY DAY STROLL

A 'big' high-energy tune, inspired by a sound I made for my Pro 3, "Taps On."

PERPENDICULAR

I've used the title 'cartoon' in the past for pieces of light brevity; this seems to fit the series.

CARTOON #3 SPRING

A memoriam to the deep connection of two friends, now both sadly passed: Frank Christian, a remarkable guitarist/singer/songwriter; and Joe Vee, a wonderful classical composer, especially liturgical/vocal. You can hear his music here at Mr Joe's Music. We briefly had a band with this name during our college days. Rest easy, guys...

CRAZY JAY BLUE

I woke up one morning last week and heard the opening moving voices; maybe this will be part of a set?

ETUDEinBm.WAV

A pair of fourths a minor 2nd apart have their way...

ETUDE2MT.WAV

And then there were three...Close seconds open up and resolve.

ETUDE3MT.WAV

"Testing, 1, 2, 3..." Ah, proof that musicians can count past three...Number 4 in an undetermined final number.

ETUDE#4

Some of the rhapsodic bravura I've been known for in the past

ETUDE6MT.WAV

ETUDE#7.WAV

TOWER.WAV

The sky sings a melody, and the lake reflects its mirror image.

LAKEPSMT.WAV

A tease from my upcoming "When-are-you-going-to-make-a-CD?" CD, Arcana Offerings

STARpc

Composed on commission for my wife's bellydance performances.

The Sheltering Sky

A fantasia for piano & 3 strings inspired by the famous e e cummings poem.

hist whist (autumn)

2nd of a planned set of four inspired by e e cummings' season poetry. For piano, two violins and cello.

moon in the afternoon (winter)

The main motif is a 5-beat phrase, counting the rest at the end; so it keeps turning around in 4/4 time.

SWINE B4 PEARLS

CERAMIC HEART

Glenn Gould and Tim Page have discussed the Idea of North. Here's my contribution. Part of my work-in-progress, Circuits Shiver.

TRUE NORTH

An original homage to JSB. Korg Kronos and OB-6.

BACHTOPIA

NEGATIVE SILENCE

The third of my pieces for piano and string trio, part of a planned set of cummings seasons. (Just 'spring' left to tackle!)

sullen silver (summer)

PERIMETER OF HOPE

Fresh mix: The title track to this project of recent tunes. Groovin' in seven. Dedicated to the memory of John 'Muzzy' Napodano, who had a Lyricon early on.
