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.
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,,

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
