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.
This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…
hey drakonis! about your comment on the big snake (lol) yeah I put 2 different tempos mixed up... it was fun. synthezised voices here made the song sound very bounding, beautiful!
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…
This piece is my original almost-fugue-sounding arrangement of my favorite Ukranian “Christmas Carol”, Carol of the Bells, as if J.S. Bach had written it. Ingredients: Warmth, depth, complexity, eternal romance. Dedicated to my Belle. This was…
very well performed and composed... beautiful, I really like your works, very good quality. Also I wanna thank you for your encouraging comments, thank you again.
I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces.
MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…
Another build of Rytme, another experiment. This time the major change is that Rytme now provides a deep level of control over rhythm density which I use here to layer the more ghostly piano over the Liquid piano (both are Logic presets). I use…
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.
In the outro: Trombone, Horns, Clarinets, Mouthpiece buzz by Andy Hentz (arrsuarez) and organic drum related sounds by Glu.

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
What a master at the piano!
You are very clever Lalo, very well played.
My what quick fingers you have!! AWESOME.

Beautiful!!
I enjoyed all 5 very much. I'm looking forward to what you do next.
I like this one especially, your timing and control is excellent.
Lovely, sounds just like water.
Is it classical or jazz? Love music like this that blurs those genre lines.
These are great. You must have studied early 20th century composers, but I also hear jazz and blues elements
Beautifully played!! I really like these piano pieces of yours
Always enjoy your work! Lovely, lovely piece!
Again that was beautiful. I'm really enjoying these pieces.
