This one should be posted under the "why don't we just all...get along?" category. I had a running debate with a good friend, phenomenal guitar player, who was very anti-music theory. He would point to great guitar players like Wes Montgomery and…Continue
What was the first computer music program you used?

My first music program was something called MED for the Amiga computer, back in 1990 or 91. It could play up to four parts, using vertical columns for the parts with 64 rows for rhythms. You could assign whatever value you wanted to the rows (say…Continue

I started thinking about this today. Successful song writing partnerships stretch back to Lennon/McCartney and I'm sure much further (Rodgers/Hammerstein comes to mind) but I can't think of any composing partnerships. For instance, Mozart and…Continue

Its been 7 months or so since I have written a lick of music. I have some good opportunities to receive performances if I could just write something but...nope. Every idea seems like "been there done that" or "well whoop-dee-freakin-doo another…Continue

Schenkerian Theory

I have always been skeptical about Schenker's urlinie. It seems as though you can fudge the data to get any line you want (3-2-1, 5-4-3-2-1). One of my old proffesors told me, with a far away look in his eye, that he used to think the same as I do…Continue

This one's a work in progress, the recap needs to be reworked and I'm not very happy with the middle section yet, but the A section is pretty much in place. It's for piano trio. It does stuff and goes places. My plan was to write something…Continue

A good friend from my high school days has a sound cloud page that gets plenty of "likes". In thinking about why, I decided it is because he uses hip hop beats. So, my thinking was, put a beat to anything and people will like it. I was wrong ;…Continue

- About Me (Must include biographical information about you as a composer):
- I am someone who composes because it is what I like to do. Hopefully, one day what I like to do will coincide with how I make money. I write songs, classical compositions, jazz tunes, electronic mash-ups, basically whatever my creativity demands of me. Everything I have posted here (with the exception of the Brown Bottle Flu songs) has been written or recorded since May 2009, when I had a revelation or something. I need to learn more about writing for actual instruments, as well as get some better recording gear and music software, but hopefully you will find my music entertaining, witty, and bizzare.

Tombo Rombo posted a discussionProbably Insignificant Notation questions
Just a couple, probably insignificant questions I've had in cleaning up a score:#1 For piano music, if there is a lengthy bit with a single note melody in the bass register, should the bit written on the lower staff or upper staff? My gut tells me to put it in the upper staff, changing the clef to bass from treble for that passage, my head tells me it probably really doesn't matter, and my wife tells me to get off the computer. Who's right?#2 I'm considering writing different character…See More

Thats rather "witty", yes. I noticced in your desription you mention "witty".
Particularly when it says if your about to commit suicide from hearing this, please turn it off and consult a physician...LMAO... Your prolly "amenable" to my constant idea to do a project JUST for humor... kind of a super high brow "humorous classical piece"
the guy wants "more textures" in the development area. LMAO, you did hear the last sonata attempt I made? I'm kinda already eating an apple and shitting a fruit salad, LMAO... but I can dig that, just if i can pull that off. I'll work on that...... and work on an ending... thanks for the listen...
ps - how do i tak OFF a song on that same player? liek when I wanna update this sonata attempt with the new version?
-smart IIIrd Mvt. Bernstein might have done that. "Neat Boys" reminded me of a modern Martin Denny. "Fartzarellah" - Spike Jones. You might really like the Mason Williams Phonograph Record (which had the single "Classical Gas").
I skipped to "Capa(Casa?)blanca [sic] vs. Prok. 1914. I like it. peace
Some of your songs make Zappa sound like nursery tunes! A fertile imagination for sure!
