Intriguing, this sent all sorts of visions scurrying around in my brain. Eventually the visions centered on late night shadows dancing in a beautiful woman's apartment, where she sleeps after a long night dancing... the shadows try to imitate her graceful tango steps, but keep failing miserably, tripping and bumping into things, but always trying to imitate her grace. Sort of a dark comical scene.

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!!!
That's a BIG snake! Wow, you have some intricate timing/rhythmic things going on 2/3 in, are those two different time signatures over each other (like one staff in 3/4 and another in 4/4?) It definitely created a feeling of slippery disorientation. This was fun to listen to.
Does have the swaggering Russian feel (and nice orchestral sounds, well separated). This also reminded me of my favorite part of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an exhibition ("The Bydlo"). I really like your handling of odd rhythms and dissonance, and then the final consonantal resolution in the coda, that was perfect.
Title track from the Scartaglen album of the same name. There is also a live version of this up here. Oddly enough the live version of the set actually has the tune called Last Nights Fun, but for some reason we couldn't get that to work in the…
I am learning a bit more each day about how to write/compose for guitar ,, quite fun. This RPM piece is dedicated for our 16 and 1/2 year old mini red Dachshund,, Howie.. though blind and mostly deaf, and recovering from illness, he still…
This is an extreme variation of Paganini's 24th Caprice, no where near the original. I just took some parts from it and did them my own way, not trying to follow the original version at all. Thanks for listening.
The poem is by Jason Kirk Bartley
This is in 19 edo and I play drums using a Simmons SMDP1 drum pad. The quality of poem is a lot higher than my music which is kind of an odd psychedelic blues not usually associated with the subject.
Florance! Il Duomo one of the many many great architectural wonders of Italy,, Filippo Brunelleschi creates one of the most beautiful Domed churches of all time in 1471, and it's still there today to marvel at,,,also i had my first gelato there…
RPM tack 2 --i stand atop the cathedral Notre Dame, fluffy white clouds float in an electric blue sky, gazing towards to Tour De Eiffel, i notice a small balloon flitting and flying along in the gentle summer breeze over the skyline of Paris
This is a Phil Keaggy tune. I swiped his original loop and then built my own thing on top of it. Might have been longer, but my volume swell effect keeps slipping out of sync with everything else. May work on it more at a later date
This little ragtime number began life as just a snippet, written as background music for a home movie years ago. For the hard core ragtime buffs, I know this is not quite syncopated enough to be true ragtime, but hopefully its fun and bouncy…
Quick recording of a new set of pipes I'm working on. Long winded explanation- prior to the late 19nth century most Irish pipes featured very small bores and finger holes and were pitched well below modern concert pitch. I've always loved them…
