At Least I Outlived Mozart At Least I Outlived Mozart
At least I outlived Mozart. In 'celebration', here's a song with marimba, xylophone, vibraphone and 80's drums, using the Harison scale, composed with Chaos von Eschenbach. And yes, I have a sticker on my forehead.

Amelia Suite 4 Amelia Suite 4
We are together, dancing under the stars and hazy moonlight. The night turns into day and the world of possibilities with us is endless. We are in love.

Amelia Suite 3 Amelia Suite 3
Amelia wakes up and goes on a photographic journey, taking pictures of the river. I follow her, curious to see the results. We kiss under the bridge, tenderly and passionately.

Amelia Suite 2 Amelia Suite 2
Why have I not been more loving and honest? Amelia has been honest and forthcoming with me. We struggle and head on the path of discovering that we are soul mates and true loves forever.

Amelia Suite 1 Amelia Suite 1
Amelia is tall, voluptuous, compassionate and gentle, and it is easy to fall in love with her. Her voice is soft and she understands me completely. I will always be with her, regardless of the situation, as she guides us all toward becoming genuine.

Pleasant Trees Pleasant Trees
The trees are pleasant, but I decided not to publish this song with my Frazzled Fractals album. This would have been the 11th and final track from that project.

for civil rights and Constitutional liberty for civil rights and Constitutional liberty
proposed track #11 from NaSoAlMo 2007 (National Solo Album Month). Its actual full title is 'for civil rights, Constitutional liberty and Abe Lincoln'.

Funeral March Funeral March
This is a seemingly simple funeral march for piano, except with aleatoric elements and an enigmatic structure that is both obsessive and unusually flighty.

Schlammmusik Schlammmusik
Schlammmusik = 'mud music' approximately. It is an attempt in vain to be the opposite to 'musique concrète' as possible while sounding very much like it. It is music in denial in three distinct sections. ;-)

Strike Break Strike Break
Strike Break features a jagged rhythm for agogo, English horn (sounds more like a recorder, however), and synth drum noises, in honor of the AFSCME strike at the University of Minnesota. Let the strike end.

Shamisenapolis Shamisenapolis
If you lived in a city full of shamisens, this is what it might sound like. But I would probably move away. ;-)

Lunch Break 2 'Sounds Like Doo Doo' Lunch Break 2 'Sounds Like Doo Doo'
Happy, syrupy synth voices saying 'doo' or 'do' or 'doo doo'. New age crap from early this year that I didn't publish until now. Be happy, be crappy!

Lunch Break 21 'Chant of Abundance' Lunch Break 21 'Chant of Abundance'
A meditation upon or a chant of abundance for timpani, drums, koto, agogo, shamisen and kalimba. Are you constantly needy or do you savor and find abundance? Or is it all too much?

Acorn Grove Acorn Grove
Poodles and Flan created this dense mix of minimalist patterns that, when put together, resemble something out of a Kurosawa film.

Tap Dancing on Caramel Rolls Tap Dancing on Caramel Rolls
This is the theoretical sound of tap dancing on caramel rolls. In reality, I would expect the sound to be slightly less crunchy and therefore more squishy. I leave the experiment for you to try. ;-) Three xylophones and drums dance the night away.

Lunch Break 19 'Art Altenburg as Art' Lunch Break 19 'Art Altenburg as Art'
Dedicated to Milwaukee concertina player, Art Altenburg, and owner of the excellent Concertina Bar. Some dissonant accordion swing on today's lunch break.

The version of Lunch Break 6 published earlier this year was actually version 6c. This is its first (and much different) incarnation, version 6a.
