This the the opening scene from a wonderful full-length dance work called Sirocco. It starts out spooky but then jumps into a complicated 5+6 time signature. This is written for chamber orchestra, performed by the Garritan Personal Orchestra (computer synth voices).

Woodwind Quartet #3, 4th Mvt

This is a tuneful piano solo I recorded here at home on my grand piano. One of many piano solos I wrote based on improvisations, over time. Three are here on Sound Cloud.

Poetic License - a piano solo

This is a very short composition (one minute) for bassoon and string orchestra written as part of a Delian Society (on-line tonal composers association) project. Several composers from all over the world wrote other short pieces too, all in honor of French writer, Paul Verlaine. The form is simple: a 30-second burst of music, followed by a direct and complete repeat. The second time through is even more hyper. Great performance. Note that the strings are using pizzicato throughout.

Vive Verlaine for Basson and Strings

Story Spinning is a great tune to play in the background while you are doing something else on the computer. It is 8 minutes long, and spins along very tunefully. It is play by a solo harp voice in the Garritan Personal Orchestra inside my computer. The piece began as a captured piano improv session which I edited  and gave to the harp to play.
