Concertations

Here is a little piano piece, or rather a piece for three pianos.

Ice

I submitted this to a music library requesting “hypnotic minimalist instrumentals a la Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, etc., (…) tracks must have a mezmerizing and soothing quality similar to the works of the referenced composers. Repetitive melodic motives and compelling dynamics could provide the right kind of foundation. Small ensemble pieces that can provide the perfect dreamy element to a scene/s, without over powering the dialogue is what they are after”. This one was actually in my drawer and I hope it will be useful to somebody.

Descent

Not exactly sure what this is – somewhat retroish urban, rnb – frame it yourself
Also listen to the melodic twists from 2:20 onwards.

Currently experimenting with cross-pollinating Arabic influenced North African music with Sub Saharan rhythm. Here is one example

Any comments about how and where these two musical traditions merge will be greatly appreciated!
By the way, supporting Ian Shepherd’s Dynamic Range Day initiative, I produced this with not less than 12 dB of dynamic range (applause)…

A hearing test:

In the second voice in the tonal theme (played on 2 different pianos), a single tone (the 4th) is varied, that is all. It is easiest to hear the second time when it is played on the Grand. Do you hear it? Does it make a difference?

Angel’s Feather

Is this:

1. Less is More
2. Less is Less
3. Pointless?
