I was 20 when I wrote this piece, for my dad. He played the recorder then, this is a reworked version for the trumpet (cornet actually) - the recorder sounds good too. Illustration : http://west28.nl/Tubes/

Amoureux du dièse

Die ist eine schönere Version von ,,84", die von Michael Spielmann interpretiert wurde (https://soundcloud.com/search?q=michael%20spielmann). Ich denke, das Stück klingt verbessert und vergrössert. Ich bin dafür so dankbar !

what i hate most about hold music is the manipulative chirpiness and the repetition

i wanted it to retain that sense of easy listening, the classic elements of strings and gentle beats, but i also wanted a complexity there so that the closer you listen the more that's going on..

i had 2 beats going on using percumat 2, lots of variation and feedback.
a high frequency arpeggio with gradual rate changes and increasing randomization of notes (iris 2)
another iris 2 track for the strings with reverse delay and reverb
the iris2 tracks are controlled by a pretty random midi line going through a c minor harmonic scale module in live 8, there's some automation on the volumes too.

Disquiet Junto Project 0335: Alone Time
Record conference-call hold music — a private limbo of your own making.

Major thanks to Matt Pinto for having proposed this Junto project prompt.

Step 1: Hold music is a ubiquitous fact of modern life. Ask yourself what hold music you’d like to hear while waiting for someone to pick up the other end of the line, or while waiting for a conference call to begin.

Step 2: Record a short piece of hold music that satisfies the scenario you pondered in Step 1. Your finished track should be suitable for looping, since you never know how long you’re going to be on hold.

your current wait time is <x> minutes (disquiet0335)

Drizzle was composed for an atonal theory class at Cincinnati’s Conservatory of Music. Its rather unique instrumentation reflects the performers available. Case in point. For the original performance, I covered the cello part on bassoon.

Although short, this piece is intended to be programmatic. During the winter of 1987-88 almost daily rain squalls plagued Cincinnati, Ohio. As a student habitually low on cash, the only pair of walking shoes I owned had holes in both soles, prompting sidestepping to avoid puddles. Fortunately, the Conservatory was located just five blocks away from my apartment. One rainy afternoon, a post-Conservatory grocery run resulted in a thoroughly soaked composer, bassoon case slung over the shoulder, carrying two bags of provisions. As I opened the door to my apartment, one of the bags failed spectacularly and spilled its contents onto a clean kitchen floor. A glass jar of pasta sauce shattered upon impact. With the benefit of hindsight, the result was similar to those self-inflicted mishaps suffered by actor Rowan Atkinson in the classic BBC-TV series, Mr. Bean. Drizzle will hopefully generate a few giggles, because the idea is to illustrate the events leading to the grocery bag incident. The inevitable caption: “When it rains, it pours”.

The version heard in this recording was generated with the assistance of Finale 2014.5 software, in conjunction with sound libraries from Garritan Personal Orchestra 4.
