        Like that second part a LOT; funny that s.o. called it 'euro-style jazz' - to me it sounds ever so 'big american metropole' ! :-)

     2. AvantGuy

        AvantGuy on July 22, 2009 17:00

        @SCHMUCKFENSTER: What or who is "s.o." ? As for metropole: We were knocking out this tune in Jack's studio at a sparsely populated edge of Boulder Colorado :)

        SCHMUCKFENSTER on July 22, 2009 23:51

        @AvantGuy: well, might be a bit limited in experience (metropoles in general) but it has definitively a jazzy non-banned smoky new york sound, no doubts

  First track from my CD release with Jack Wright (the "Johnny Appleseed of Free Improv"). Called 'Euro-style Free-jazz' by one reviewer.

  Invited by a fellow amateur composer (more experienced than me, however) to write a quintet for a local woodwind group. Was never excited about classical woodwind quintet music, finding it a bit colorless / treble-centric. Figuring unknown nobody-composers don’t turn their back on a commission, I...

        I like the relief of tension part 4 brings. Has this ever been performed live?

        AvantGuy on July 29, 2009 18:43

        @sirlig: Glad you found that, @sirlig. It's been performed twice live. Dorothy Martirano (vln) and I (computer) premièred it, then a year later Katherine Hughes and I did it again. That was the full 12-minute version (gulp)

  Excerpts of a very early piece - perpetually unfinished, but a fave nevertheless. The great Katherine Hughes, violin. Still using rack synths back then. String "section" sounds are processed from Katherine's recording. Most other sounds are Proteus-1. The idea was to divide the pitch set into its...

  Derived from a live show, in which our ad-hoc group was called "5 x 5" (or "5-by-5") as it was a quintet and we played five pieces (cute, eh). Escape(5x) is a piece I composed in the aftermath of that concert, based on material I used during the performance.
