A curious abstract piece that started off as a computer generated MIDI file which was subsequently altered manually by me (I'm not letting the computer get all the credit!) I haven't even decided on a proper title yet, but if I come up with anything good I'll change it. Then again, maybe I'll leave it as it is. It's played by a quartet comprising marimba, sitar, shamisen and koto, and sounds utterly bizarre so of course it's perfect for this website! It's also my biggest MIDI file yet, at 275k or thereabouts, despite being only 11 minutes long. The mp3 version has some extra processing and added effects, is slightly longer and sounds much better.
OK, so it's weird, it's ridiculous, it wouldn't be classed as music by most people, but to me it's a perfect example of my "experimental" style. If you're new to my website and this is the first thing you've heard, don't be put off. Try this piece instead. But I believe any composer in the 21st Century should be receptive to all forms of music, however strange. Frank Zappa and Alfred Schnittke (to name just two recently deceased giants of the Avant Garde) would have agreed with me on this (and believe me, I've heard much stranger things than this played on the radio over the years!) So, if you don't like it, don't worry about it - there's plenty of more orthodox music on this site for you to find.
MIDI version available here. Free download (of the superior mp3 version) available on MegaUpload.
A longer, more varied work that uses the original opus 56 piece as a starting point which I subjected to a plethora of processing techniques to create a whole new work. It is a kind of electronic orgasm, working its way up to a spectacular climax. Maybe this piece should get an 18 rating!
