A little Debussy always brightens my day. This is the first movement, Prelude, from Suite Bergamasque. I used 6 sampled piano patches like my 5 meter grand, distant grand, echo grand and Fender Rhodes with Pedal Board to get the spacious effect I desired. The prelude uses an improvisational style […]
Trio for Rhodes, DX 7, and Synthesizers
A little Schumann to brighten your day. This is the 3rd movement in the Piano Trio # 3 opus 80 written in 1847 by Robert Schumann. I upped the temp to around 90 beats per minute, the original piece is at 50 beats per minute. I think the faster tempo […]
Anitra’s Dance
Edvard Grieg’s Anitra’s Dance is an awesome tune from the Opus 46 Peer Gynt – Suite 1 and is the third composition in the suite. This rendition that I have created uses 14 tracks of synthesized instruments. I change the pizzicato parts of the score to be separate instruments instead […]
Puck – Edvard Grieg
Puck is the 3rd piece by Edvard Grieg in Opus 71 Lyrics Pieces, Book 10. I love the song, it is fast climatic and has an amazing structure. I also really appreciate the dynamics and the tempo changes in the song. With this composition as the base, I interpreted Puck […]
Piano Sonata No. 8 in C minor, Op. 13
So, I did this over 7 years ago but I dusted it off and remixed it. I added a few more tracks of audio to give it more space and a better feel. This is what I wanted it to sound like, I hope you enjoy my take on Ludwig! […]
In the Hall of the Mountain King
This is currently 28 audio track of pure Edvard Grieg love! This is from the 1875 Peer Gynt score. I lovingly entered every note for every part in the score and then transformed the instruments into an evocative musical sound painting. I hope that you enjoy it! From Wikipedia: The […]
Rock me with your Pachelbel Canon
So, the most hated wedding music of all time, at least if you are a bass player, is Pachelbel’s Canon. I decided to have a little fun with it, so for you listening pleasure may I present “Rock me with your Conon” which is an update to the Canon set […]
Night on Bald Mountain
Night on Bald Mountain – also known by its Russian namen Noch′ na lysoy gore. I have loved this piece for ages. When I was a child, on Saturday mornings the local ABC affiliate would broadcast Creature Feature which was a, usually, really bad horror movie that was cheap to […]
Bydio (Cattle) – Track 7 from Pictures at an Exhibition
A Polish cart on enormous wheels, drawn by oxen. I feel that Mussorgsky wrote this to show the oxen far away, coming close and passing the observer and then passing beyond view. I tried to achieve that with my rendering. This is 19 audio tracks and a faithful input of […]
Quasi una Fantasia
Ah, Ludwig van Beethoven, thou art so HUGE! So immense! This is my recording of “Moonlight Sonata” or as it is actually titled, Quasi una Fantasia which translates to “sonata in the manner of a fantasy”. This is the second sonata from the Opus 27 and was written in 1801. […]
