This is the book number four: Numbers. This is a book of war... a cry of war. Yes! this one has a lot of Gustav Holst influence and the first chord is very like Mozart's Don Giovanni... tell me what you think about it please. thanks.
I love how you managed to make it sound like it was almost going to resolve into something that that would sound like Gershwin and then it goes a completely different direction- great stuff!
If Berlioz would've heard this piece.. he probably would have said that it was too vulgar (lol) too much percussion... but oh well I got very excited when I made this one... the tempos are not very well because its very hard!!!
Captures the romantic era spirit. The orchestration seemed good, but a little muddy in spots, I think because we need to get you a better orchestra sample pack... or maybe a real orchestra to play this, that will do it!

This is nothing to do with what I've been doing.. The truth is I was bored and turned on my roland juno-d and I started mixing up some sounds and well this is it, I know its not my musical area but wanted to try...
nice resolution at 1:40, intriguing impressionistic painting with your harmonic palette. Just enough tonal footing to keep my poor old classical ears quite happy. I'm back from a week vacation, and hope to start catching up on music again!
The psyche is a weird place, I'll just talk about it musically.
The piece begins with the sounds of Sudara's autoharp, the weeping woodwind sounds of the clarinetist from Megafauna Lacrymosa , and a low kick-like percussive sound, which is…
This song is a tribute to the space monkeys named Albert. They all died tragic deaths of various kinds during their forced service to the American space program.
Similar in feel to the other Fragile Moment track. Mostly acoustic guitars recorded sitting in my shop on the H4N and then finished up in Cubase just this morning. September 9 09. Maybe a nice one for bedtime

Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Originally this piece was written for a guitar. But I love my R3 so much! I'm playing with it. So this piece is just an electronic version. As always, all sound patches were programmed by me.
A moody solo acoustic thing that I came up with playing in a long forgotten tuning. Just got a new Zoom H4N, so this was recorded in my shop sitting at my reedmaking bench may 12 2009
Close your eyes, and come with me. It is a warm Autumn eve in the Black Forest. There are ancient folk tales about this magical wood... how late at night it comes to life with mischievious fairies and wood nymphs. Any mortal who hears the unusual…
Solo acoustic guitar recorded January 2nd 2009. Hope to do a longer more developed version at some point ,but for now just a short version to learn more about using new DAW software.
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
This song was recorded for the independent film documentary, "It/ll be better tomorrow, the life of Hubert Selby Jr.". Sadly, it did not make the final cut, but it will always be a favortite of mine.
I want to thank you specially for this wonderful composition, for me?! its such an honor!! I really thank you, it goes to my favorites, I already downloaded it.. I just loved it, it has the talented russian touch

That first chord almost blew me out of my chair!. You certainly captured the mood of war
I love how you managed to make it sound like it was almost going to resolve into something that that would sound like Gershwin and then it goes a completely different direction- great stuff!
love the lower notes! 01:33!!! Great piece. I look forward to checking out more of your music.
How did I miss this one? Lovely! Great playing
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
Another great one Lalo! Those cello lines just before the end are just lovely
Another lovely piece, Lalo.
this is delightful music for this late night. gorgeous palette of sounds and melodies.
it's great!

Wow, so forboding! I take it this is Adam & Eve during presentation of the ill-fated apple? Ooh...
very nice - drakonis comments are right on the money - you found a sweet spot between some common styles, and mode something v. fresh!
