Some old music
/I don’t really have any brainthoughts this morning to share with you, so I’ll just fall back on shameless self-promotion.
My first ventures into computer-assisted music were with some little MIDI program I don’t even remember the name of. It came with two little game controllers that you used to navigate the staff lines and click notes into existence.
I still have them, of course.
After that, I moved up to EZ•Vision, an Ensoniq keyboard/synth, and then Proteus/2 Orchestra and Proteus/3 World synths. You might think I would moved on to some major sequencer software and become a whizbang electronic music genius, but never mind that right now.
Alas, because of the shifting sands of music software vis-a-vis Mac system updates, I have only one soundfile from those days.
Here is “Stars on Snow,” a piece I wrote last century. It was originally for handbells in a much simpler version, but I decided it was pretty enough to beef up into a full new age piece. It still holds up, I think.
(I had a couple of other new agey pieces that I composed in an attempt to come up with a whole album. None of those exist now in any kind of retrievable form.)
Enjoy!
