My composer friend, Steve Layton has once again realized one of my latest pieces, DeltaBandResonator for Piano.

Also, the finished versions of my two flute and piano pieces are up, the last one, was finished sometime last week.

The Hammered Wind Dances I for Flute and Piano
The Hammered Wind Dances II for Flute and Piano

And if anyone's interested, I've also just released the final proof of my 4th String Quartet.

Spirale d'Arco for String Quartet

And one more bit of news... Wink

Steve Layton released his recording of my big piano piece BlueStrider on a CD thru CDBaby, so I'll be having 2 CD's out even if I don't get off my ass and get those 3 electronic CD's out. Rolling Eyes

(Duo Ahlert and Schwab's recording of Erg is the 2nd one).

Back to work... Very Happy

Jeff,

Thanks for posting these pieces. Very nice music.

I've written some music for flute myself. I used to have it posted on mp3.com, but it's gone. I'll repost it next week.

Do you have a MIDI file of the String Quartet? I'd like to have a go at realizing that one.

Thanks Howard! Yeah I really love the flute... my wife and her father were both amateur flutists and one of my girlfriends was a great professional flutist.

http://parnasse.com/midi/sq4.mid is the string quartet. Can't wait to hear what you do. I'm not that pleased with a lot of my MIDI realizations...

I downloaded the string quartet PDF just now. I will read it on sunday. I am no expert when it comes to midi, so I prefer reading the PDF instead.

Here's your string quartet as played at my house... Sometimes my strings sound a little flutelike, especially when there are unisons. Hope you like it.

Happy Valentine's Day! Embarassed

Hey, I like this one! Well done, Howard!

This piece.. is the midi file the actual notation? The music seems to be perfect also for 2 mellotrons, 2 PPGs, 1 ARP Odyssey and modular processing of all voices in realtime. Does that sound scary, Jeff? Very Happy

Yes, real players are always best, if the music is conceived for them. I just used canned insturments. It would have been much better if I'd have put more time into it. The dynamics are pretty sloppy.

As for Mellotrons, I'm not sure. There are not too many long notes.

I was really tempted to create some patches on the Nord Modular. This piece nees insturments that speak fast. That would be a big project. Stay tuned, you never now.

Here's another realization. No attempt to emulate a string quartet. I didn't change any notes and tried my best to observe the dynamic markings on the score.

Wow finally got a chance to listen to it. That's really sweet. You've got a few tracks dropping out though... at ms. 9 the 1st violin track can't be heard, just the accompaniment and in a few other places.

Regardless, it is a really wonderful arrangement! Smile

Thanks Howard!
