Another piece for the Donner Party

http://bumpermusic.blogspot.com/2008/02/echo-canyon.html

Today's work is in support of the scene when the Donner's are told
that they basically have to hack their own path through the Wasatch
Mountains. The Hastings Cutoff is bogus, and they are told to send
someone ahead for further instructions.

The music is more like space lounge music, with little resemblance to
the scene of the movie. Oh well. It's based on the utonality to the 15
limit, modulating to new keys by steps of the otonality.

The piece is scored for Alto Flute, Vibraphone, Finger Piano, Tuba,
French Horns, Trombones, dry spring percussion, and some other
percussion samples. Enjoy the utonalicious triademonium.

Sounds good! Everything a little alike, though. Are there really
modulations? I got to confess I do not hear them.

Hans,
Thanks for listening. The modulations are tough to hear, and the
sounds don't change very much. This is a common criticism of my music,
and I do work to avoid it. Just not too successfully sometimes.
