A Verdure is a type of tapestry decorated with a design based on plant forms and woodlands. It is also called Garden Tapestry. This short orchestral work presents the musical impressions and representations of the shapes, textures, modulating colors and moods from the designs in these tapestries.

I Bury The Living

This rendition of Black Magic Woman is different than any other. It is different than Santana or Fleetwood Mac or any version you may have heard.  It breathes the passion and obsession that the words convey.

Shrink (2018)- for string quartet and electronics

I have only recently become involved in the world of politics, and this work reflects many of my feelings about my experiences. 

During the piece many fanfares and similar noble material try to rise above it all with varying results.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to my work--its greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!

"Firn is partially compacted névé, a type of snow that has been left over from past seasons and has been recrystallized into a substance denser than névé. It is ice that is at an intermediate stage between snow and glacial ice. Firn has the appearance of wet sugar, but has a hardness that makes it extremely resistant to shovelling."

The single is now available as a FREE download on both of our Bandcamp pages.

For this challenge:
Step 1: Think about how a gradient functions, as one thing transitions into another.

Step 2: Make a short piece of music that aims to explore the idea of a gradient in sound.

As mentioned on a previous junto, lately, when I have time, I’m recycling old masters I got back this summer from a publisher deal, I have dozens of 10 or 15 years old tracks to re-listen, re-work and release or use at will.
For this junto I decided to do a gradient between two old tracks: one completely electronic (synths and treatments) and one acoustic (live in the studio performance with actual musicians and instruments)
It starts with the electro-drone song , and instead of just crossfading volumes between tracks I decided to make my own interpretation of gradient: the second song’s tracks start unmuting one by one, starting with the flute and some percussion, then bass, etc, while the first song’s tracks start fading or muting one by one.
To make things interested, the first song is in the key of Bb major, while the second plays around A major and A minor, so the long middle section of this track, where the mutation happens, is in two superimposed keys, providing dissonance and instability instead of the original track’s clear mood.

Farfarout [Disquiet0476]

This week's Junto was the simple instruction to: Play something blind. That is to say, record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking.

I sat at the piano, closed my eyes, and improvised. This is quite surprisingly a straight recording of the first take.  I might play around with it and remix it into something else.
