Haiku of the Day ~ Black clouds, gray mountains,

    
Black clouds, gray mountains,
    the smell of rain in the air,
        a white cat purring... 
    
    

Score of the week: “the darkness between the stars”

     

This is a tone poem for String Orchestra and Solo Bass Clarinet in which I tried to invoke the darkness/void/loneliness of deep space; out where there is nothing. 99.9999+ percent of the universe is an empty lonely place.

while I was writing this piece I imaged myself floating in the darkness of deep space billions of miles from any other being, billions of miles from even just another object, with just the faint dots of stars everywhere in the black void.

Mediation on the Sierpinski Tetrahedron

           

Best experienced with eyes closed in a dark and cool room.

An experiment in the layering of synthesizers and rhythms over both a bass drone and a bass ostinato.

Impression No. 4

I finally had the needed time to work on Impression No. 4 this last weekend. Since my last update where I said I was 50 percent done with it, I had to ripped out about half of the done work and start over again. Impression No. 4 is by far the most complex of the movements. At this point I estimate that about 80 percent of the material for Impression No. 4 has been written and now it is just a matter of refining and polishing it before moving on to the recording and mixing of the piece.
