Fatastic composition and superb performance. Love the dramatic feel.

What a drama! Unusual for my ears, but an incomparable experience. Thank you for this extraordinary concert. Merry Christmas, John 🎁🎄🎶

Merry belated Christmas, Robert!  Incredible crafting of intertwining intrigue!  I feel as if I was watching a calculated murder mystery! The build of tension in atmosphere is seat clenching!  Wonderful to hear your signature ingenuity, once again! Take good care! :) 🤍💚🖤🤍🎶🍀🎹🎥

I like the ornery shifts and scattered sound here.

Such a great and interesting piece to listen to Robert…

Such a fine piece of music, the tight parallel voicing, a delight to the ear!

PLEASE READ THIS! THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION!
I'm posting this here as a curiosity and... a sorts of warning. Artificial Intelligence has entered the sphere of music creation. And it hits with enormous power...

This is a song that my wife (she's German Language teacher) generated using Suno.ai in about 2 minutes, just giving it a prompt to generate a rock song. Its lyrics come from a really cheesy song included in a children's textbook. She just wanted the song to sound more accessible to today's kids. She didn't actually realize what this song would cause. And it left me completely shocked and actually questioning the point of further activities in music... 

My wife, by generating this song, gave the A.I. ​​a lot of scope for its own "imagination". She did not specify the structure of the song or the elements to be included in it - which can be set by entering appropriate comments in the song's text. What surprised me is how wisely the A.I. ​​approached this task, how it determined what should be included in this song. A huge surprise for me is the second part of the song, where the A.I., having no more lyrics, created something incredible, using elements such as triplet, half-time and returning when we expect the song to have ended. What's even more surprising is that the A.I. ​​understood that it was a song in German and was inspired by German-speaking bands such as Die Ärzte and used the typical German song structure, including the sound of the vocals.

Yes, I know, I do music for fun, but I still don't know what to do next... I'm thinking how it will impact the music industry? Let's talk about it in the comments and remember - let's be polite.

Below is a link to the original song, I improved it a bit, but whether it's for the better is a matter of taste:

And here is another one that left me speechless, also generated by my wife:

Du kanns ja mal...

(WARNING! This was generated by A.I.) Du kannst ja mal... (das Tierbuch fragen)

Judgement

Living in the mountains of Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, has deeply inspired this piece. The track opens with the sounds of wind and birds, weaving you into the heart of nature's embrace. Intricate guitar melodies then take center stage, exploring themes of balance and fragility within the natural world. The music reflects on the enduring spirit of ancient civilizations, a testament to resilience, but also pays homage to the people of Capulálpam de Méndez who have become my adopted family here in Mexico. Their warmth and kindness are a constant source of inspiration. The piano serves as a roadmap for this musical journey, while the guitar takes the lead on the melody.

°°Español°°
Viviendo en las montañas de Oaxaca, Capulálpam de Méndez, me ha inspirado profundamente esta pieza. La pista se abre con los sonidos del viento y los pájaros, entrelazándote en el corazón del abrazo de la naturaleza. Las intrincadas melodías de guitarra toman entonces el centro del escenario, explorando temas de equilibrio y fragilidad dentro del mundo natural. La música reflexiona sobre el espíritu perdurable de las civilizaciones antiguas, un testimonio de la resistencia, pero también rinde homenaje a la gente de Capulálpam de Méndez que se ha convertido en mi familia adoptiva aquí en México. Su calidez y amabilidad son una fuente constante de inspiración. El piano sirve como hoja de ruta para este viaje musical, mientras que la guitarra toma la delantera en la melodía.

Winter Dreams

Please enjoy my latest offering to you all. It is another seagoing inspired track. Over the years I have seen many deep ocean whales in their natural setting but only once have I seen a pod and it was awesome. There must of been at least twenty of them spread across the bow at distance. I immediately reported my sightings to the captain who immediately stopped engines.  He went on to explain that in this situation you have two choices you can go hard to starboard or port depending on our postion relative to the whales course or simply stop the engines and take in the view explaining the chances of seeing another pod this large is very remote. this all happened long before smartphones came along so we had no way of recording the event. This took place when I was nineteen and I am now 71 and it is a memory that has stayed with me all these years. So I say to all our fantastic young people .... You are at the stage in your life were you are creating your memories .... .don't waste a minute. Thank you all for the great support you give me.... love and peace..

What I Want To Tell You

Off our soon-to-be-released album, this song is one of our "glitch style" pieces - all extra short, they avoid traditional structures and include playful instrumentation. This one includes Gina's surprise "sampled" vocals. 

Water can get in
Wherever air may go
Wherever air may go
Water can get in
Water can get in
I won't let you make me be the mad one
No no no
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones
I won't let you make me be the mad one
I won't let you make me think they're the bad ones 
Wherever air may go

water can get in

Thanks for visiting. 
What's new:  I have started work on a violin sonata. 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.
