SNOWTOWN
Snowtown
This piece was recorded a few years back for
my album Secret Places - Memories of a Northern Childhood
The video includes a number of winter images of Sault Ste Marie - my hometown.
Featuring:
Carlos Del Junco- Harmonica
Henry Heillig- Bass
Charlie Cooley- Drums and percussion
Eric St-Laurent- Acoustic guitar
Hope you enjoy it!
Note for Music Theory Enthusiasts
In this piece I’m experimenting with the idea of having two different melodies happening at the same time..both of equal importance. First melody begins around :41
, second melody joins in at around 1:23.
Introduction of this piece is in F minor, a change to A major occurs when the melody begins. After the two melodies are introduced a transition period follows that gradually brings us back to the the key of F minor, this time as a solo section. (If you are not familiar with the amazing playing of Carlos Del Junco you might be surprised to know that he is playing a Diatonic Harmonica!)
Like many of my rambling compositions, the “A” themes are not repeated after the solo section.

ROUND THAT CORNER
Переглядів 2614 годин тому
Round That Corner A few years ago I started releasing a series of recordings called “Sonic Journeys”. The music is all instrumental and, being neither jazz or classical, probably defaults into either a film music or a vague “New Age” genre. This is music that can be in the background, accompanying images and/or dialogue - or just part of an audio environment. However, if you give your full atte...

A DARK WINTER’S NIGHT Another piece from my winter suite. This one is darker, a bit more mysterious. A portrait of the cold sleeping forest.

A SUNNY WINTER”S DAY This is the first movement of a suite I wrote a few years ago depicting winter scenes. Thought it would be a good time to share some of these pieces. Hope you like this one Happy Solstice! Note for midi enthusiasts: Orchestral mock-up of course The plug-in/sample world has advanced considerably since this was created (I think about 15 years ago) A lot of the sounds came fro...

The Snowman’s Dream This music is from a collection of pieces depicting winter scenes … some, like this , are little fantasies. I know it’s well into the kitsch zone, but what the heck, ’tis the season. Hope you like it. And Happy Holidays
Forgotten Paths
Переглядів 66Місяць тому
Forgotten Paths This music is from a collection of pieces I’m working on for Sonic Journey’s Volume 5. I guess you could call it New Age music for people that read the New Yorker. This one is floating, warm, bittersweet, and nostalgic . Hope you like it. Note for Music Theory Enthusiasts: This piece has absolutely nothing to do with hexachords or pitch class set theory . No use was made of a tw...
Scenes from the Lake

Scenes from the Lake Images from canoe trips to the islands on the north shore of Lake Superior - plus a seascape (or rather lakescape) painted many years ago by my dad. Hope you enjoy it! Note for Music Theory Enthusiasts The music is a simple repeating pattern played on the piano, derived from a six-note scale (repeated, modulated, inverted by intervals) with melodic content chosen from tradi...
The Lost Keyboard Garden

The Lost Keyboard Garden Images of abandoned music workstations from some imagined future or alternative dimension - created with DeepAI. Note the bizarre placement of black keys on some of the keyboards.. and the impracticable placement of computer screens. Notes for Music Theory Enthusiasts: This is what I call a hybrid hexachord (six-note scale) composition. Some of the musical segments are ...

Scenes from the 2139 World’s Fair The location of the fair is unknown. These images may have been found in one of those new fangled reverse time capsules. About the music: Another hybrid hexachord piece built on the transformations of one six-note collection with a freely composed section thrown in at 1:53 followed by a “tonal” piano solo at 2:16. The six-note collection for this piece is Hexac...

Inside a Dream Happy Holidays Everyone! Here is a short peaceful offering for your ears and eyes… Ok maybe it’s a bit dark.. but it’s happy dark! Hope you enjoy it. Notes for any music theory enthusiasts that might be out there: With the exception of the piano solo, all of the music in this piece was created using the transformations of once six-note scale (hexachord) From “C” this scale would ...

Martian Morning/Marsh in Morning Some darkly pleasant meanderings. Thanks To Enn Poldma for the title- I could not decide on one rendering of this homophonic moniker, so you will be presented with a number of options - you decide. Hope it takes you somewhere ! Optional reading for music theory enthusiasts: This is another hexachord composition. With the exception of the piano solo , all music i...
OUT THERE and IN HERE
Переглядів 64Рік тому
Out There and In Here A brief quirky diversion for the dissonantly curious. The A (OUT THERE) sections combine two complementary hexachords - yes this is 12 tone music. The B (IN HERE) sections are slightly more consonant, using only the transformations of hexachord 6-34 [013579] From “C” this six-note collection is C, Db, Eb F, G.A. You could think of this as a whole-tone scale with the first ...

Queen Street Sault Ste Marie Ontario In Other Days This video offers some scenes of what was once the thriving main street of my home town. The first few images were taken of the corner of Queen and East streets from the long gone firehall. These images show the intersection before the construction of the post office building - pre 1905. Around 0:50 there is an image that includes the new post ...
