"I love the idea of recycling discarded music!
Well, as atmosphere it's a winner. I wasn't too sure about the hymn tune at the end in that it made the piece seem too short, as if more could have been made of that. I like the blend with the…"

I did not get a chance to enter the last contest because I was visiting the Philippines, but I wanted to go ahead and share anyways. Thanks for listening. It’s for fixed electronic media. …Continue

So basically I've been pouring all my resources in producing music for live performances because of commissions and personal gigs. Plus, I've basically created a horn or redesigned an instrument from…Continue

"Hey Thanks Michael! I wasn't into sound sculpture until they wanted the concerto to be soloist and fixed electronic media and then I said, "What the hay, let's do this thing!" It certainly opened a whole new world and a whole new…"
"Hey there Rod, I didn't know you were so into sound sculpture! You seem to have a gift for it, which makes for some interesting results, given your already considerable compositional skills. At first I though I was watching 2001, A Space…"
Moods
Last May I finished my trumpet concerto for soloist and fixed electronic media commissioned by a university and had some recordings that simply either did not make the cut or did not quite fit. A couple of those pieces were the music box one, The Emperor's Enchanted Box, and Meditation. Here's another one I simply call "Moods," which features a drone created by the electronic magnetic waves of planet Jupiter and I also used the Taxed or Jupiter Theme played by euphoniums and tubas near the end…See More
"Appreciate it, Gav. Sorry I could not get it done in time for the contest. "
"Thank you so much for listening and commenting, Claude! "
"I so appreciate that Neil, I really do. Thank you so much for your comments. They made my day. I finished a 40 minute trumpet concerto with 7 movements that was chock full of this stuff, and basically this was some of the leftovers that simply did…"
"Rodney. I just loved this piece. It was absolutely enchanting, interesting, quirky and mood evoking all together. It very much left me wanting more at the end. Do you intend to develop it further? I feel very inspired to try something…"
"Thank you Michael for your reply on my little experiment. I don't deserve your words, but I do appreciate them. The last part was fun to mix adding experimental string sounds called scary strings from Spitfire and adding warm low brass…"
"Hey Rod, great piece. I liked the last part best, the low sounds just washed through me and really got my subwoofer humming. but all of it was quite imaginative. I think if you had submitted this, you might have won the contest."
"I finished my trumpet concerto for a university back in May and unfortunately both this little "sound clip" and "Meditation" were both throw away experiments from that much larger work. A part of Mediation is used in the 2nd…"
"Nice and sweet.
I wonder, where do you think the idea for the form comes from? It sort of feels like it's wrapped up two thirds in, and then there's an after image or an echo. I remember Meditation used something similar."
"It does feel both yin and yang, although more yin than yang, but that's my way of listenig to it (I may have for yang a fiery feel rsrsrs). I liked it a lot!"
"Hi Rodney,
A great piece. Enchanting!
Gav"
"Fascinating! Love everything about it! Strange mood and atmosphere and then the end was like huh? Great stuff!"

Thanks for the invite, Rodney. I was quite impressed by your Sins of the Old Testament pieces. Dance of the Golden Calf was quite beguiling. I'm currently listening to BelgianComposer's new Double Bass Sonata (http://youtu.be/c4wIy1qyf1E). Check his Youtube channel out. I haven't run across him elsewhere, but his work is consistently first rate. Again, thanks for your work.
