Decisions
Genre: Modern
Length: 1:29
Instruments: Synths, Percussion
Tempo: 80
A vocal chorus blends with subtle percussion and panning synth effects that rattles the bones. The choir rises in volume almost imperceptibly before dissolving, leaving a sense of drama and consequence. Perfect for the background music to build suspense and intrigue. Loopable. 035 Driving, Intense, Suspenseful 2010

Rising
Genre: Modern
Length: 2:31
Instruments: Synths, Choir, Percussion
Tempo: 84
Heavy on the percussion, this piece is dominated by the rising strings in the second minute, which quickly give way to an ethereal alto chorus. The accompaniment rises together before dissipating. Loopable. Grooving, Intense, Suspenseful 2010

Finding the Balance
Genre: Modern
Length: 3:28
Instruments: Bass, Percussion, Synths, Voice
Tempo: 75
The beginning is calm with the Middle Eastern dudek playing the melody. As the electronic elements melt into the dudek and the plucked strings, the groove is established. Just into the third minute the melody changes to beautiful and touching, but returns to the feel of the intro, while a woman’s voice sings a haunting melody in a distant language. This is music of wonder, and is best as exposition music for a film about nature or a group of people struggling to survive. 045 Bright, Grooving, Intense 2010

Piece for Disaffected Piano One
Genre: Modern
Length: 3:08
Instruments: Piano (alternate tuning)
I hesitate to assign a 'feel' to this because it is so exotic. It uses a 19 semitone scale which does not repeat at the octave. There are 9 semitones to a perfect fifth. The tuning is Wendy Carlos' "Alpha" scale. The piano strings are laid to horrible pain in sections as two octaves of keyboard are used to represent a doubling of frequency. 009 2008

Piece for Disaffected Piano Two
Genre: Modern
Length: 5:26
Instruments: Piano (alternate tuning)
Like "PfDP One", this piece also uses the Alpha scale developed by Wendy Carlos. Improvising on this piano is like walking in a minefield. There are many places to step which are just fine, but every now and again you find a surprise.
This piece is light, and even comical in parts - with some musical revelations in between. 009 2008

Jackhammer
Genre: Modern
Length: 1:40
Instruments: Piano
This piece is also pretty loud - it has some traditional chordal structures. Considerable pedal at times makes the piece murkier than the others. The second of a series. 009 Aggressive, Driving, Intense 2006

Rushed
Genre: Modern
Length: 2:02
Instruments: Piano
ere, the rhythm adds the dissonance. An unsettling effect. More delicate than either of the first 2 piece. The third of a series. 009 Aggressive, Driving, Intense 2006

Atonal in C-ish
Genre: Modern
Length: 0:38
Instruments: Piano
Atonal, sure... but almost in the key of C... or C-sharp. No traditional harmonics, fast paced - but measured. The forth of a series. 009 Unnerving, Aggressive 2006

The Small
Genre: Modern
Length: 0:37
Instruments: Piano
Simple polyrhythms in a very small piece. Get it? Small!? Epsilon!?? Yeah... no worries. The fifth of a series. 009 Unnerving 2006

Improbable
Genre: Modern
Length: 1:41
Instruments: Piano
An improbable (actually impossible) key signature. Not bad considering it shouldn't exist. Moderately listenable. 009 Humorous 2006
