Two Poems of Malaysia:

1. A Dream in the Garden of Emeralds

2. The Eyes of the Fire

http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music <http://zebox.com/jlsmith/music>

These two compositions were written for my friend Yahya Abdal-Aziz. They
were realized with soundfonts of Malaysian instruments and composed in
9-of-12 from Yahya's "Trois Chalumeaux" tuning:

1/1 = D

27/25

10/9

6/5

162/125

4/3

40/27

125/81

9/5

2/1

Best,

Thumbs up. The flute and the bass is good. The choir sounds bad when it's not "in tune".

I like it, except for the harmonic movement i VII VI VII i.

Cool. Nice soundfonts. Except for the choir aahs, which can't
fail to remind me of the overused ahhs on a 1989 Korg or something.

And somehow I missed your Invention. That's a lot of downward
mordents, and all executed in rather the same way. But I *still*
liked it.
