Love the abrupt time signature change here. Definite affinity with the likes of frank Zappa [BWS era]. Has that same playful character- sounds both simple and complex.

Another great collaboration.  The time signature changes really make it interesting and give it a nice journey.

This collaborative composition was written in Musescore instead of Finale Notepad (Notepad was used for all of our prior collaborations) 

Interestingly, the choice of composition software can really impact how a piece turns out. In this case, it's much easier to switch meter partway through a composition in Musescore than in Finale Notepad, where it's more or less impossible unless if you ignore the barlines - we took full advantage of easy and intuitive time signature switching in Musescore here!

For this piece, we alternated off writing 20 measures at a time, emailing the piece back and forth until it was finished. As usual, we did not discuss orverbally plan out the piece in any way, instead just building off each other's contributions.

I teach in US higher education (in a STEM field) & am a hobbyist composer writing in a few different styles. I recommend headphones. All of my music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution/Noncommercial license.

My bandcamp page is getting out of date again, but some older albums there can be downloaded for free or for a name-your-own price donation.

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.

Unsolicited messages asking me to listen to your latest song will lead to you being blocked unless if I know you well and we've interacted a lot.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for visiting!
