Some new works in progress

I'm still using MySpace to host my music:

I added five short new tracks, but three are incomplete. These are samples of the "soundtrack" I'm writing (the imaginary movie and/or video game I mentioned before). The last two, "Venez jouer!" and "La nef des fous" contain microtonal notes, again 72-edo. The other three are purely 12-tone. The last track uses short passages in 8-et and 9-et, the latter case being a pelog-like pentatonic scale in the trombones, but it shows off more in its polyrhythm than microtonalism. (Turko-Western military percussion in 7/8, Japanese taiko in 4/4, djembe and bendir in 5/8, Afro-Cuban percussion in alternating 12/16 and 6/8.)

These are all part of a very large planned work and are considered very rough drafts and alpha pre-releases. A lot needs to be worked on, including wrong notes, volume of instruments and such. I also should start shopping for a better synth; I'm running into way too many limitations with the Roland I've been using. And I can never get reverb and other effects right.

I have another homepage set up where I can store much more than ten files, but I'd rather do so when I get a lot more work done.

So that's what's keeping me busy lately. ~D.
