Special thanks to Jenny for her excellent performance of my piece.

Very nice piece! Cool to see that Huil premiered it. It's been a while since I heard the midi version, but I think it is a very effective and beautiful little solo flute piece. Congratulations Ben!  8)


Anything else in the works?  ;)

There are a few pieces I've started working on, but nothing else in line for performance quite yet.  Got to get on it!

Really nuanced performance of a neat piece, I can dig it. Congratulations to both of you.

Very nice work indeed. I can definitely hear traces of Debussy and Takemitsu in there.

How Not to Compose

Go to Youtube to read the annotations and get the full experience.

The longest 4'33'' there ever was!

Seriously funny, this.  I would recommend one other touch to the score:
When the four note vertical chords reappear in the Vioila, I would add the directive
Still not playable as written - perhaps in parentheses.

It was wonderfully appalling.  Congratulations ;-)

Finished a suite for guitar, only have to polish it for performance-readiness.

Working on a wind quintet.  No name yet, and only a group of unstructured fragments so far...

Nice. Do you play? An old friend of mine is working on a piece for guitar, and he has found it an engaging challenge . . . .

Nope, unfortunately.  This has been an issue in making the piece even remotely idiomatic.  I've been told by multiple players that it has awkward spots, in addition to some very tricky cross-rhythms.

Working on a wind quintet at the moment.  It's still in fragments, but they're starting to develop.  Slowly, slowly...

Karl, if you could clear up your PM inbox a bit and wouldn't mind, could you take a look at what I've written?

Have you had a chance to look over it yet?

Only a first pass.  The material looks/sounds good.  Some of the horn writing is a particular challenge.  I must take another and a better look.

I understand you're busy, so you are absolutely under no obligation to rush.  Much obliged in any event.

Scene from a Drama for flute and piano and my ear yearns for a cello in there or maybe a horn.

Finished a new piece for Wind Quintet, and our own Crudblud has produced an excellent MIDI rendering that humanizes more than any automatic version possibly could.

Post coming soon.

Nice work! (the flute piece). I like or sense of phrasing and melodic contour. I look forward to hearing other works...
