Stuff happens and life is. I check in and see I have not posted anything in almost a month. Life is and is subject to the second law of thermal dynamics.
On the music front I have a couple of pieces in various stages of completion. I have just finished entering a piano piece from my college days (when Reagan was in the White House) into Sibelius. I will upload it soon for your enjoyment and ridicule.
I also have a piece for Jazz octet that is ready for upload as soon as I write the program and performance notes.
My finial work in progress is a piece for soprano sax and others. Others include both electric and upright bass players, piano and vibes, plus a large assortment of percussion. The piece is build on unceasing drones, ostinatos, pointillistic percussion and quarter tones. The current working title is is “Morning Prayer”, but my wife does not like that title, so maybe I will change it.
Last month I got a Midi controller (a 61 Key M-Audio Axiom). But I have been too busy to really play with it.
The main thing going on in my life is working hard on the house. The last week of December was spent putting in a new floor in 90 percent of the house. Long days those were. My one knee has still not recovered, I think and old softball ligament problem was aggravated.
Well I hope I can keep this Blog going with regular updates even as stuff happened and life is. Well I have to go, I have things to see and people to do.
