PTOG #10 PTOG #10
Prototype #10 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. In vastly different form, this song eventually became the inspiration for 'The Morning the Stars Began to Fall' (track #2 on my Jamendo album 'Martian Winter').
PTOG #14 PTOG #14
Prototype #14 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. This track eventually inspired the song 'Some Time Away from the War' (track #3 on my Jamendo album 'Martian Winter').
PTOG #16 PTOG #16
Prototype #16 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. Although it has a pleasant, jazzy sound, it never made it past the prototype stage.
PTOG #18 PTOG #18
Prototype #18 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. It didn't make it past the prototype stage for "Martian Winter", but became part of "A Dream of Crows" on my album "In Unexpected Places."
PTOG #19 PTOG #19
Prototype #19 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. A very groovy tune -- I especially like the chorus. Unfortunately, it didn't make it past the prototype stage in time for 'Martian Winter.'
PTOG #20 PTOG #20
Prototype #20 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. This song eventually became 'A Storm of Falling Leaves' (one of my personal favorites on 'Martian Winter').
PTOG #25 PTOG #25
Prototype #25 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. This song eventually became 'Kaleidoscope Future' (track #9 on my Jamendo album 'Martian Winter').
PTOG #30 PTOG #30
Prototype #30 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. This song eventually became 'Three Days After the Invasion' (track #4 on my Jamendo album 'Martian Winter').
PTOG #31 PTOG #31
Prototype #31 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. I like this tune, but I can feel it wanting to speed up -- therefore it didn't fit in with the composition principles I had chosen. Maybe later . . . .
PTOG #32 PTOG #32
Prototype #32 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. I *really* like this tune, but wasn't able to complete the full composition before the end of the year -- so it remains a prototype.
PTOG #34 PTOG #34
Prototype #34 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. Although it didn't make it onto Martian Winter, it eventually became part of "A Dream of Crows" (from my sixth Jamendo album, "In Unexpected Places").
PTOG #35 PTOG #35
Prototype #35 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. This song eventually became 'Night and the Telescope' (track #7 on my Jamendo album, 'Martian Winter'). I absolutely love the chorus!
PTOG #37 PTOG #37
Prototype #37 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. Has an oddly western feel to it. Sadly, it didn't make it past the prototype stage this time.
PTOG #39 PTOG #39
Prototype #39 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. Although I really liked this tune, it didn't make it out of the prototype stage in time. However, the odd synth sound DID inspire parts of 'Kaleidoscope Future.'
PTOG #40 PTOG #40
Prototype #40 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. Another strong candidate, but didn't quite make it out of the prototype stage in time for the album.
PTOG #42 PTOG #42
Prototype #42 from my 'Periodic Table of the Groove' composition experiment. In vastly expanded form, this song became '786 miles' (track #5 on my Jamendo album 'Martian Winter').
