joe's last mix by LooseFilter

LooseFilter — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:10:31 -0800

A fantastic piece of symphonic music with deep connections to electronica, joe's last mix by Tanner Menard is a fun ride (this performance is by one of my ensembles with me conducting). I've posted this before, but he and I are doing something different with the piece, and I'm wondering if any of you are interested in participating....

Medieval by Admira

Admira — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:10:20 -0800

A slow, two line piece on classical guitar, not really in a medieval style but I wasn't sure what else to call it! Hope everyone who takes the time to listen to it enjoys it.

East of the Middle by Admira

Admira — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 14:12:42 -0800

Stylistically I'm not sure where this piece sits, the opening scale is a little Middle Eastern (deliberately) but the rest of the piece ... well have a listen and see what you think. I always intended to record a lead guitar over the top (but never got around to doing it...), so its a little repetitive in the middle section.

Hirajoshi by Admira

Admira — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:36:11 -0800

Third in my "Can I Play" series, can I play pseudo Japanese koto sounding music? the opening and closing melody is in the hirajoshi scale, hence the name of the song. Performed in two parts on my classical guitar.

Laid Back by Admira

Admira — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:55:42 -0800

Came up with this on a Sunday afternoon, after a long sleep in and a greasy breakfast. Short, instrumental guitar piece like the rest I've posted :)

Beginnings by Admira

Admira — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 15:50:34 -0800

Another laid back instrumental guitar piece performed on my classical guitar. One of my favourites, though I possible went a little overboard with the compression. Hope its enjoyed by all.

Enigma by Admira

Admira — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:11:06 -0800

Instrumental piece on a classical guitar, recorded with two parts. Kind of slow, relaxing, and was an attempt to make slight harmonic clashes easier on the ear. Don't worry, its not twelve tone serialism or anything!

El Magia by Admira

Admira — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 13:29:55 -0800

Slow instrumental guitar piece performed on classical guitar. Similar in style to my previous pieces Together and Touching

Together by Admira

Admira — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 03:17:11 -0800

Laid back guitar pop, on a classical guitar - written for a friends wedding.

Did you ever play Columns for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive?

b by tmcw

tmcw — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 19:52:27 -0800

This is the reaction to my constant enthusiasm about music theory: I strung up my first guitar, a 3/4 size steel-string classical, with a mismatch of electric guitar strings, and tuned it BF#BBBD#. Then just played whatever. It made for an entertaining spring break and a kind of 'endearing' song.

Life and Death of a Circus Clown by not_on_display

not_on_display — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:53:14 -0800

This song consists of two parts: the life of the clown, and the funeral of the clown.

Where Corals Lie by Pallas Athena

Pallas Athena — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:21:18 -0800

Sir Edward Elgar, 1899, from a cycle of 5 songs called Sea Pictures. This one is about the singer constantly hearing the call of the sea. Live recording from a recital I did in May with pianist Guy Newbury.

Der Tod und das Mädchen by Pallas Athena

Pallas Athena — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:04:45 -0800

One of Franz Schubert's finest songs. Recorded, inexpertly, live in a recital I did in Oxford about a year ago with my excellent accompanist Guy.

Every artery by ORthey

ORthey — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 22:03:48 -0800

A song mostly inspired by having a stressful job where I deal with lots of nervous/frustrated/severely impolite people, and its effect on me. It's a little rough because the main track is recorded on a boombox with a verrrrry old cassette.

Au Courant by ageispolis

ageispolis — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 14:07:15 -0800

Experimental electroclassical hip-hop track. First one to name the classical piece I lifted for my main brass sample gets a lollipop. (Hint, I play it in entirety in incredibly high-pitched, fast motion near the end of the track).

Virtuosi by ageispolis

ageispolis — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 02:23:15 -0800

I made this one today with a tiny low-quality string sample. This particular mix dances between halftime and doubletime throughout. I hope you can dig it.

I liked the way this sounded when we recorded it so I thought I'd share it! Website MySpace

Soundtrack Lite by noahgift

noahgift — Sat, 30 Dec 2006 19:51:18 -0800

This is a song I wrote in 1992, I got around to recording it in 2004. There are a few imperfections and I would like to record it again...a better longer version. Tell me if you like it.

Bagel on the Malecon by barmaljova

barmaljova — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 00:03:33 -0800

A very New York-bred outlook at old-time Cuban music, recorded entirely with .. violas! This was my attempt to create asymmetrical but memorable melodies, clear textures crammed with material, and experiment with multitrack viola as a concept, an ensemble. The sound of the classic Cuban bands had all that - except the violas, that is. This track appears on my newly released CD, the VJOLA: WORLD ON FOUR STRINGS
