Times change and so do file formats.

I uploaded a new piece for violin and cello today. This is my first attempt at writing something for string instruments other than guitar, and other than purposefully synthesized strings, and it turned out nice. This was written pretty quickly, an just a day, hence it’s a doodle just like most of the piano pieces posted here so far. Anyway, check it out.

I also spent a little time mixing all my classical tracks down to flac format. These are lossless, meaning the quality doesn’t diminish when the files are compressed into something that doesn’t take up an enormous amount of space. They’re still bigger than MP3s but not significantly. Seems to me that this is the way everything you find online is going to start going so I’m gonna jump on that train. They’re already widespread in torrents…..

Anyway, I’m considering making flac versions of everything I’ve done and possibly even remixing old songs that I absolutely butchered in my more ignorant days. We’ll see.

New Piano Doodle.

I actually planned on writing a long, serious piano piece but, after a few failed attempts, I realized that I’m probably not capable of fully realizing my concept yet. So, in the interest of having something to show for my work anyway, Doodle No 15 Indifferent Twinkle is the final attempt, written in about a day and made into another Doodle.

New hip-hop track, a tribute to Lil’ Wayne.

Er, well, in a way. It’s more like a conversation about whether we should honor people like this who can, at best, inform the id in us or whether we should start paying attention and minimizing the effect of such, uh, artists. Existing is one thing, I would say necessary even, but nominating this kind of “work” for more awards than any other musician or composer is a bit nutty. That’s where I stand at least. Anyway, check it out.
