I wanted to start composing in the "classical" or "romantic" style for piano. This is the first movement of a sonata fantasia, its a sonata because it has three movements, but a fantasia because it doesnt have the exact structure of a sonata.
Originally written for RPM 2008, I've finally got around to making it sound a bit better; to my ears anyway.
A return to my normal subject matter of criminal activity and even more criminal lyrics.
Li Bao's lament, ‘Fighting South of the Ramparts,’ was probably written in 751, a year of significant military defeats for the Tang Dynasty, which was approaching both its cultural and political peak and soon to face the rebellion of An Lushan…
Just one of those passing moods. Just finished today - august 2 2009. I resisted the temptation to try to develop it any further and just let it be what it is
I hesitate to upload this, but there are a couple folks around who like this sort of thing. This is an edited down version of a jam I had with myself back at the end of 2007. Live to 2 tracks with the aid of the Jamman. I think it was the first…
This is my first recording and not great quality. I have ordered a better quality microphone, just waiting for it to arrive. Quality aside, I was hoping for some constructive critcism/comments on my version of this song.
New stuff has been slow in coming for me lately, but I found this lurking on my hard drive from a while back. Frankly don't remember how I did it except that it was all live to 2 tracks and at one point one of my synth patches glitched out on…

Something completely different- Uilleann pipes(Irish bagpipes) and synth. I wrote this tune over 20 years ago in the style of traditional Irish slow airs. It was recorded way back in 1991 for an album that's been out of print for over 15 years…

Wow, this is quite dark. Very nice!
Nice chords! I would recommend to change a tempo. Play it faster!
Lovely playing style... and it is always exciting to find classical composers! (I am up in the Bay Area)
Whow, this Sonata in Bb is great in its romantic passion! Thank you! Why don't you bring this in in www.composition-contest.com Gerd Prengel
