Not so much a cover of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells, but rather some new tapestries draped around the original signature piano riff (which riff I have flipped front-to-back, kind of, just to be contrary). This is my third version of … Continue reading →

Here’s a brand new song I just finished. It starts and ends with the sound of a wet finger on the rim of a wine glass. A persistent if subtly ambiguous rhythmic pattern carries it along. Authentic mellotron makes an … Continue reading →

Sorry for the “cheesy” title, a reference to Debussy’s Afternoon of a Faun which my piece in no way resembles, but which still came to mind for some reason when trying to think of a name. Something a little more … Continue reading →

Once again, here is a song from 2004, redone in 2015 with fresh ears. The background video is from the famous 1902 short “A Trip to the Moon“. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/gTgJmv6XLQ8

Another new/old song from 1995, redone recently. I’m having great fun cleaning up these old MIDI files, although that can also sometimes be a pain. The title is a Flintstones reference (their stone age version of Atlantic City), and also … Continue reading →

Here’s another re-working of a twenty year old song (see yesterday’s post). The title is a reference to an earlier song called “The Stuff of Legend”, available on my album “Gravitas” from online retailers everywhere-ish. This song is a sequel … Continue reading →
