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.
First of my rpm traks,, this year i am going to try to learn a bit about composing for midi orchestra, with that in mind i have began (in jan) to read several books on midi orchestration, orchestration and counterpoint,,, while these will probably…
A bit of improv done yesterday with my newly refurbished fretless guitar. Finally got the midi pickup to track almost right! Part of the sounds were gotten by rubbing a teaspoon on the strings.
one cool thing about piano pieces is that they lend themselves to being rearranged for other instruments, since the piano encompasses the entire range,,, this is a pared down version of my last weeks submission le baiser apres-midi = the afternoon…
i was trying to work on a piece for a shark video of mine, but this is what came out instead,, my piano moments collections are the small musical threads that emerge amongst/while i am working/thinking about other things,,,
first of all, thank you for your kind comments, it's always a pleasure to listen to you music, some time ago I downloaded several pieces of your music and I often listen to them.... very nice
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
playing with my eyes closed
rpm #4 2012
from about 2 min on it's a bit hot,, if anyone has some suggestions on how to balance the range, i would appreciate it r
rpm #3,, from a future themed piece to be called "the dark doll house" a place where yellow orange light drifts through soft gray curtains,,far away a child's laugh echos down the stair case,,

Very stirring!
