IMPERFECTNESS is a SPECIAL something here! ❤️. It's like thoughts. Intention. Development. Mistakes. Life.

Binary Orbital Dynamics is a graphic score composition exploring gravitational interaction between two orbiting bodies. Inspired by the physics of orbital mechanics, the piece renders dynamic relationships—proximity, mass disparity, velocity, eccentricity—as abstract visual forms. These images guide the performers in creating sound through interpretation rather than conventional notation. The work may be performed by one or more musicians, with or without electronics. In this version, a fixed audio track—created specifically for this performance and never before heard—acts as a gravitational counterpart, shaping the musical field like a second celestial body. The performers respond to the sonic environment not as accompaniment, but as a force: pulling, resisting, drifting, or converging, depending on the evolving context. Rather than following a fixed tempo or score order, the players navigate the piece as a kind of sonic orbit—interpreting each graphic relationship as a moment of interaction. When performed by two musicians, they may represent distinct bodies (A and B), each with their own trajectory and influence. Binary Orbital Dynamics was commissioned by Bowerbird in Philadelphia for the Arcana New Music Ensemble. Like much of Vidiksis’s work, it explores systems of interaction—between performer and environment, between structure and interpretation—using sound to investigate complex, often invisible forces that shape our experience. 

This track is a live concert recording from the Accademia Filarmonica Romana, Rome, Italy, July 2, 2025.

Pari Zanganeh - Hame Chim Yar



سينِ هفتم
سيبِ سُرخي‌ست،
حسرتا

که مرا
نصيب
ازاين سُفره‌ي سُنّت
سروري نيست.



شرابي مردافکن در جامِ هواست،
شگفتا
که مرا
بدين مستي
شوري نيست.



سبوي سبزه‌پوش
در قابِ پنجره ــ
آه
چنان دورم
که گويي جز نقشِ بي‌جاني نيست.
و کلامي مهربان
در نخستين ديدارِ بامدادي ــ
فغان
که در پسِ پاسخ و لبخند
دلِ خنداني نيست.



بهاري ديگر آمده است
آري
اما براي آن زمستان‌ها که گذشت
نامي نيست
نامي نيست.

Hugh Wolff leads the NEC Symphony through a program of three Spring-themed works:
Debussy - "Rondes de printemps," No. 3 from Images
Copland - Suite from Appalachian Spring
Schumann - Symphony No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 38 "Spring"
NEC's Jordan Hall, March 9, 2020

Schumann - Symphony No. 1 "Spring" - iii. Scherzo: Molto vivace

The Year of Music project began in May 2011  there has been a new musical creation posted each day.  Each new piece is created in real-time.   The project is currently in its 13th year.  To date, there are over 4700 "Daily Doses" in the project.

Richard’s live performances take audiences on a journey away from the busy world and into a calmer, less chaotic mental and emotional environment.  Drawing on his classical training, jazz and pop familiarity, Richard creates music thru an improvisational process.  His music has been called a soothing elixir for the soul, mind and body.

In 2016, composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr moved to the Monterey Bay area of California after living in his native St. Louis area since 2005.  Richard spent 10 years working as a pianist in the night clubs, hotels and restaurants of the French Quarter of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina.  He has released twenty-fiven solo albums and one collaboration in the contemporary instrumental /new age genre.

Aware of the meditative quality of his music, Richard has been exploring the healing side of his music.  Working in the holistic community of St. Louis, Richard developed the I AM Creative Sessions. These sessions are personal sessions in which Richard creates music for the client’s intention or focus.  In essence, he creates a soundtrack for the intention.
  
Currently Richard's electronic keyboard set-up includes Kurzweil PC3x and PC4x,  StudioLogic Numa 2-88,and the Roland boutique synths JP-08 and JX-03.
