General June 27, 2008 - Up Very Late

I did something incredibly lame; and I admit that. Let me talk you through the process.

I was up very late last night listening to the LifeZero show.
One of the hosts, Ben Durbin, I recognized from the "MacBreak Tech" show mentioned he was on Twitter.
I looked at what he had to say, and found this:

I'm calling it: "Yak-Sized Piece of Grit That Flew Into My Eye, Causing 15 Seconds of Painful Disorientation" for oboe and pianoforte. 02:02 PM May 01, 2008

"Huh", I thought. "That should exist."
And now it does.


Music June 16, 2008 - Virtual Guitar



Feelin Good, Guiton (sketch), Funkorama, Tea Roots.

Music June 08, 2008 - Not just horror!

But yeah... a lot of horror. It was what I was working on this week.

Also made a fanfare for brass, though! That's not horror!
The Rule

And here's a simple request for the now classic style of piano music for horror films...
Classic Horror 1, 2, and 3

Finally, I did... quite a bit for "The Weakness: Episode 4"

Long Note 4, Ritual, Dark Walk, Unnatural Situation all come from that.

Ritual is a particularly nice piece. Super moody.

Music May 30, 2008 - Smatterings

New musics.

Achilles - Written as theme music for an epic drama. This starts broad and kicks into awesome at 0:27.

Bass Vibes - This piece gets a little atonal in parts.

Takeover of the 8-bit Synths - This... uhh... hmm... let's call it 'experimental' piece starts out with vanilla guitar and rock drums, and gets progressively crazier as the 8-bit synths take over the piece. Maximum anarchy starts around the 3-minute point.

Trio for Piano Violin and Viola - An unfinished trio in 2 main parts.

Sightings May 24, 2008 - No updates in a while...

Um... sorry everyone.
I have been working - just not really hard recently. There's lots of reasons.


In any event. Every now and again, I find a video with my music in it that, for some reason or another, I really like. So here's one. It is from Elise Harris. I would tell you about her, but I don't know a darn thing.
Bonus points for creepy honesty, and mention of Doctor Who's cat people.

Also, you can put me on your twitter list, if you like. "kmacleod"
I'm not posting really until I get enough people to make it worth while, so it may be disappointing for a week or two.

Music May 06, 2008 - Identity help

I got an email today asking what the piece of music in this is:
Bringing Out The Beasts

I know I wrote it... but I have no idea what it is called.
Email me at kevin@incompetech.com if you know! Thanks!

---

Got it!
It is called "Almost in F"

Music April 19, 2008 - New piano, new tunings


About 20 minutes of new piano work...

Just a comic piano bit...
- Comic Plodding


Pieces in "One Quarter Comma Meantone" tuning:
- Impromptu in Blue
- Impromptu in Quarter Comma Meantone
- Sovereign Quarter

Pieces in "Alpha Scale" tuning:
- Piece for Disaffected Piano One
- Piece for Disaffected Piano Two

Music April 15, 2008 - Music Round-Up

14 pieces that I've not yet mentioned in several genres.

These have a decidedly African-feel to them, as they were all made for the same project.
African - Infados, Night Cave
World - Confused State, Witch Hunt
Soundtrack -End of the Era, Exotic Battle, Ignosi, Myst, News of Sorrow
Stings - Morocco Sting

This one I like a lot. I recorded it when I was sort of out of sorts one morning, and heard it later, and it turned out very well!
Contemporary - Gagool

Also this week: Militaire Electronic, Vintage Education, and Phat Sketch.

Cheers!

Documents April 08, 2008 - Filler Paper

The people have spoken, and they want filler paper... without so many confusing options.
Behold! Notebook Paper!

It even comes with the new "grad-school" lined option with half the header, and 3.55mm line spacing.

"That's manifesto paper right there..."
