I am currently working on this page as the MIDI music
editor I have is very difficult to trancribe my music with.
Aji handing Johann the corrected score of the English Suite #6.
Bach exclaimed "Thanks to Aji's modifications this work is rescued from my wastepaper basket!"
Aji remarked "J. S. is a cool dude but I have higher expectations for his son P.D.Q."
Please keep in mind that I am currently working on the MIDI file versions of these great hits.
So I will be updating these regularly. All these are my own compositions copyrighted between 1971-1999
So far, these are only works that have already been realized using traditional instruments. In these transcriptions to the MIDI file format I've had to make some comprimises. I don't like comprimises. I DETEST comprimises. More on this later. Most of this music was concieved in the 1970s and 1980s. Soon I shall be getting my first synthesiser and a musical editor worthy of my talents. Until then I hope you enjoy these meager offerings. Its been fun learning the limitations/benefits of MIDI and expect great things from this page in the following months/years.
I may also find the time to start my own Music Theory courses here if I get enough Email feedback requesting them.
This is as traditional as I could get. However you may notice the ending uses modern gimmicks. The use of thining density in the main part is also cool.
The harmony is the focus on this work. The melody is purposely boring in order to emphasize the harmonic progression. I can hardley wait to get my synthesizer in order to do the string arrangement I have in mind.
This is a truncated version of a work mostly in the whole-tone scale. Without the use of harmonic cadences it relies on rhythme in order to give it form. Notice that the line is inverted between the two hands as if a mirror was placed on the D key above middle C. Also notice the polyrhythmic interlude.
This MIDI version is a poor cousin to the way I play this in real life as I can not yet do MIDI files with accelerando and ritardendo. Check back next month to see if I finally redid this with my new synthesiser.
A latin rhythme on this. I have not put in the slow middle section as being in the same key I think it too boring.
A simple song with a pasionate break strain.
Works in progress:
I use this work for improvisation exclusively so it may not translate here very well. I have yet to play a synthesiser that does the rumbling tone cluster the way I do it on my grand piano.
A jazz-rock using the crude layered approach.
