Dear All,
This is my first time posting music to this forum, though i've been reading it
to get general advice for quite some time.
i'm finally at a point where i can start composing, again, and begin another
electronic piece
<https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/floorex_1-mastered1.mp3?w=AABcsbLgB3zB3JN5SkL56c00IF7A4yu7hdyjNUXqyKMj2g>
. If anyone wants to comment on how the production can be improved, i'm all
ears. i am aware of the crackling at the beginning of the piece, which surfaced
during the mastering process and got worse when reencoding the original .wav
file. i've a better computer, now, and i hope that helps with some of this.
In any event, the piece was composed with Bristol, qsynth, some samples from
vkeybd, zynaddsubfx (Yoshimi was not yet out), AMS, and Hydrogen.
The second piece
<https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Chaccone%20Rondo.mp3?w=AABwVKhiUDxFA4QDI28AczLLEnjgCZ6hHafySly3niuThg>
is for pipe organ. It involves no Linux and the recording technique is
amateurish. The performance was a world premiere in Zug, Czechoslovakia, this
last Sunday. The organist is Amelia Javorina. It's the first performance of my
music outside of school--ever--so i'm just excited to let others know.
Finally, if there are legal issues with linking to files in the mp3 format,
please let me know.
i look forward to hearing what you all have to say. Take care.

It seems there's something wrong with the link...

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I really like that Chaconne! The chord voicings and structure reminds me a bit of Allan
Holdsworth.

THE Ken Restivo? Your music on bandcamp helps set some of my personal
standards, along with General Fuzz. Isn't he in San Francisco, too?
Anyway, thank you for listening! That's an interesting observation. The
recurring chaconne is loosely modelled off of Satie, so the Holdsworth reference
is not one i'd have made, myself. Nonetheless, i spent a LOT of time listening
to "Metal Fatigue" when it came out (on vinyl, at that!). i wouldn't be
surprised if some of that experience is tucked away underneath much of what i'm
concsiously doing.
Thanks, again, for listening, Ken.

Haha, I don't qualify as a "the", but, yeah, that's me. Glad you've
enjoyed my stuff. I haven't done much with music in a few years, or even listened
much, but recently started listening again, and have been enjoy all the great new music
you-all have been posting here.
I downloaded and enjoyed General Fuzz's whole catalog about 6 years ago, and enjoyed
it a lot-- I like chillout, and his music was always impeccably produced. Thanks for
reminding me to re-listen to it. I guess he does live here, though I haven't met him.

Aha, Satie. Well, that could possibly resolve an over-30-year-old mystery for me, which
was: where did Holdsworth come up with all those wild chord voicings? Perhaps he was
inspired by Satie? Wouldn't be surprised if British prog-rock guys of the 1970s were
running around listening to Satie; Steve Hackett covered Gymnopediae on one of his
records, etc. I'm not that familiar with Satie so I might have not made the connection
from there to Holdsworth. Makes sense though.
Thanks, again, for listening, Ken.
Thanks for posting!
