When I saw your name I immediately thought of your classical contemporary stuff; "Rubik's Cube" came to mind, for instance. I didn't associate you with jazz, but there's plenty there, I see. I like Cereal-ism.
I only use software as a recording tool now, and Band-in-a-box for practise, but who knows what the future holds?
Thanks Mike.
I can never get anyone to play my classical music. At least I have some nice looking scores which I hang on my studio wall. Haha!
Thank God for software....At least the composer these days can hear their work and not have it piled up in a dust collection never to be realized. Although I did have a few played, the majority will never be played.
Right now I'm on a serialism kick and I'm trying it out in the jazz idiom. I have done it in the classical realm....It's not "strict" serialism as the word my typically imply.
I choose to alter that with other types of passing tones, but essentially the meat on the bones are 12 tone rows in the bass lines, theme, and most of the improv.
I've always loved jazz, since my bebop days, but I don't want that type of jazz anymore. I need it to be who I am and not who anyone else may be.
I know you understand what I mean!
Ever since I first heard Eric Dolphy's "Out To Lunch" I realized I want to play the sax in that type of context.
I enjoyed your Soundclick page. Nothing I would call exoteric, which is a good thing. I enjoy anything of an esoteric nature as well.
