My Original Instruments Collected

I have collected the surviving photographs from my instruments built from 1969 through 1994. There are 25 or so that I can remember. Here are the pictures and descriptions of my original instruments.

Bass Viola da Gamba For Sale

My bass viola da gamba, built by Fred Carlson in 1982, is for sale q. Reasonable offers in the $6,000 range, please.

Pix of Ionic Performer Synth

Here are pictures of my 1973 Ionic Industries "Performer" Synth, including a copy of the manual's funky cover, several advertising pieces, and a reader complaint. There's also a link to pieces created with this synth and a VSTi emulation!.

It's over!   We Are All Mozart   A 365-day composition project The plan was to finish one piece of commissioned music a day in 2007. The commissioning goal wasn't met, but I finished 100 pieces, every one commissioned. Please visit my "We Are All Mozart" website to read about the purpose of this project, and hear demos and performances. And inevitably, there must be a blog, so there is a blog, which will begin again soon.

More Quick News

Yes, I've composed just one piece so far -- smuttle for the 60x60 Project -- but have finished a new book for The History Press, A Guide to Vermont's Historic Country Stores. It will be published in September and I'll announce it here. I have finally updated my regular catalog with all the "We Are All Mozart" pieces, so if you're looking for scores, parts, demos and performances, get 'em there.

Quick News.

Much as I would like to compose in 2008, the work left over after a concentrated 2007 is crushing, from house repair through a book on Vermont's independent country stores. That will be done in late April, which should see me back in the music realm and perhaps even updating my blog with a series about geography. My electroacoustic CD Bolt is delayed again due to, ahem, budgetary issues. My project now has its own domain (http://WeAreAllMozart.com/), which will fill out as more performances take place. See the calendar below. More when this book is done (with previews!)

WAAM is Over.

The We Are All Mozart project ended at 10:30 on New Year's Eve with the composition of Horizons (Ocean) for wind quartet, string quartet, and piano. Since last updating this page, these WAAM pieces were finished: We're Running Out of Time (tenor pan and cello), An Fold-In Round (crab round for 14 parts), À Bout de Souffle (three oboes), Romance: Mondo-Mando (mandocello and piano), Vermont Chess Camp (camp theme glee), The Anvil of Cyltemnestra (voice, piano and anvil), Sequenza Nova (horn and piano harmonics), Nine Lessons from "Flatland" (a round book), Six Senses of Twilight (organ and electronics), Lunar Cascade in Serial Time (the last seven months for tenor guitar), At the Edge of Forever (clarinet and string quartet), Fanfare:Heat (orchestra), Anticipation & Stormtide (accordion), The Nine Rabbits of Valladolid (cello duo), A Partial Summer (cello duo), Meta-Dream Once and Meta-Dream Twice (violin), Evidently Skittles (children's duo of flute and piano), From the Mountains (organ), The Imagined Moons of Autumn (flute and piano), Morning in Nodar (double bass), Low Clouds and Evening Wind (piano), Candied Sweet Potatoes (vocal trio), Tangents (clavichord duo), Loss of Innocence (organ), Toccata: The Tides of Wales (organ), Lowing in Coventry (three low horns), Time's Arrow (clarinet), UpReach Over DownSlide (clarinet and string quartet), In My Room (acoustic/electric guitars), Scalar Rainbows (piano), In Search of the Seven Blue Stars (viola), Aisle Five (voice and percussion), She Who Saves (two natural horns and soprano), In Search of an Exit (piano), Cithara-Cantus Cantoris (jew's harp), Toccata & Tryptophan (tenor pan), Horizon (Ocean) (wind quartet, string quartet and piano), Events and Horizons (clarinet and string quartet), Thirteen Triple X (piano), O Vox Pop (bass clarinet and bassoon), Walking the Flat (alto sax), XLII: Adeste Hendecasyllabi (voice and piano), Vexation Blues (piano), Morning Steps (to Parnassus) (playback), In Search of the Lightness of Horizon (viola), Framing the Sum of Three (piano), Curious Crimson Glow (bass trombone), Counting Myself (cello duo), It's Mine, I Tell You! (piano duo), Strong to Save (piano), To the Secretary of Good Fortune (cello and guitar), Incanta (bass clarinet), 99 Events for the Found, the Made, and the Natural (performance pieces), and Voices in My Night (playback).

Where Have I Been?

Busy. The We Are All Mozart project didn't fill the year -- which means I couldn't burn my "income bridges" and take the year to compose. The gear-shifting between composing and other work has been extreme and exhausting. My blog has suffered, but not the compositions. You can visit the WAAM page to explore the scores, demos and some which have already been performed, or you can visit the Big List and drop down to the bottom, where the WAAM pieces as well as others are available -- including several done during our residency at Binaural Media in Nodar, Portugal. Indeed, nearly 50 pieces have been composed since I last updated this home page ... and remember that you can download and perform this music, as performers worldwide have done since my music was first made available online in 1996.

What haven't I told you about since last time? These: Sultry Nights (sax and piano); filouria and felungia, (both for playback); the Orange Quartet (string quartet); Graffiti (A New Year's Celebration for Noah) (playback); Toccata: Delle Montagne Verdi (piano); Candles of Red Sky (theremin & performer's voice); I lift my heavy heart (voice, flute and guitar); coalescence (trumpet & organ); Lunar Cascade in Serial Time (five so far, January through May; performance pieces for tenor guitar); In het Donkere Bos (viola & bass clarinet); Pivot: The House of Cloves (4-track Midi); Moving to Lullaby (trombone & performer's voice); Come, come! (chorus SATB); Coarse Salt (soprano sax); Earth, Air, Water, Sleep (cello or vocalise & piano); Mountains of Spices (mezzo-soprano, violin, viola & piano); Delivery (piano 4-hands); Starry Night (piano); Running the Traction Line (cello & contrabass); What to Do, Farmer Gray? (4-mallet marimba); Return to Nineveh (extended voice); Centering (chorus SATB, with div.); Soundings (organ); Compound Refractions (flute); The Ideal (voice & piano); Turn Around, Bustle & Blaze (viola, horn, cello & piano); An Offering Borne Again (piano); Diese Welt ist so Schön (soprano, clarinet & vibraphone); Tuba Marcato (youth ensemble of 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani); Three Tiny Prevarications (ukulele); New Granite (flute, bass clarinet, cello & piano); Full House Reset (piano trio); Hermit of the Furies (solo cello); Fortune in Her Eyes (piano 4-hands); For the Beauty of the Earth (solo violin); Three Songs for Manuela (playback); Pão: The Bread Song (string quartet); Future Remembrance and Future Remembrance (Remix) (playback); A Village on the Wind (playback); The Itch is Internal (cello duo); Détente (organ).

Ringtones!

I've indexed them now. Depending on your phone, there are many ways of using them; I've linked a how-to site on the ringtones page. So here are 42 ringtones from my own tunes. They're all under 30 seconds and in mp3 format. Find the ringtones here.

People Have Asked...

...why I give away my music. Here is the answer.

Ionic Performer "Killer" VSTi! ... Ready for you!

At last I've emulated the Ionic Performer synthesizers from 1973 as a VST instrument. You can see more of this instrument, hear samples and download the shareware VSTi (Windows only) with samples, patches, and other stuff: My Killer Synth Page
