George Gershwin in 1926 composed 3 preludes for piano. George synthesized American Jazz and European classical music to make a very recognizable musical voice.
Too Many Years
It's been too many years since I've seen you
But sometimes that face appears before me
I still don't understand what went on
I refuse to believe that you could possibly really hate me
And of the people that I have known
You remain…
apologies to the fab four
scored for orchestral percussion, harp, harpsichord, dbl bass, string ensemble, men's choir and flute.
Interesting aside...
This is the only Beatles song covered by The Residents - because it is the only Beatles song…

I used sonar 8.5 matrix view to turn my M-audio 88es into a sampler keyboard - assigning samples to almost every key. Most of the samples are field recordings from today and yesterday - most of the others are recordings I made of a drumset I…
Reg adds much better vocals to the backing track.
I dreamed I met a Galilean;
A most amazing man.
He had that look you very rarely find:
The haunting, hunted kind.
I asked him to say what had happened,
How it all began.
I asked again…

Lovely piano from Norbert Oldani - 5 string bass from me. We only wish we could have performed it live for you...
I put together a patch of 6 oscillators using frequencies 198, 210, 220, 228, 230 and 280. I recorded the piece interactively playing as I felt them by triggering. A previously recorded loop often playing in reverse was also used. Produced…
starts out with a hint of Ludwig and becomes full on contemporary classical. Really like the quiet part at ~2 with the sustain pedal down. I don't know why - 3:18 started to echo Gershwin for me though it really doesn't sound like his style. Overall its a really nice piece with a multifaceted set of moods and thoughts - I enjoyed this very much!
This is really an intriguing piece as the song writing is somewhat Beatlesque with a totally modern sound. I love this even more than the previous view into this piece.
No one's left
and I'm afraid
I've got no choice.
I've got it made.
But I've known for a very long time
that I can't consent to the shape
that I've been assigned
without a chance to really define...
But four young Oysters hurried up,
All eager for the treat:
Their coats were brushed, their faces washed,
Their shoes were clean and neat--
And this was odd, because, you know,
They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them,
And yet another four;
And thick and fast they came at last,
And more, and more, and more--
All hopping through the frothy waves,
And scrambling to the shore.

I really like how unusual this sounds
beautiful in its sadness
really well done!
this may be long, but it isn't empty. I really, really like this one!
it opens like a hurdy-gurdy! Your layering is so orchestral - wonderful work
This is cooler - the SE-02 seems to be quite a nice synth~!
love the runs in this piece! Very powerful!
awesome!!!
I'm in awe of how you make these pieces every week. This is excellent contemporary classical music. I agree with Bill, beautiful ending!
