Hi folks.

John DeLaubenfels was kind enough to adaptively tune my Piano Sonata
(first movement) to 7 limit JI, (thanks again, John!) and I've put it up
at:

MP3:
http://music.columbia.edu/~chris/sounds/sonata.7lim.mp3

or midi:
http://music.columbia.edu/~chris/sounds/sonatacr7nm.mid

It's a fun, tonal, neoclassic ditty, with lots of silly quotations from
Deck The Halls, London Bridge and the Dies Irea, to Thelonious Monk and
Black Sabbath. They do fly by though. . .so listen closelyly!!!

I recommend the MP3 version, as I recorded it through a pretty good synth
(Roland xv-5080) so you can avoid the QuickTime-internal blues.

It's great to hear so many music postings these days! I just got back
from a 2 week hiatus, so I still have yet to sort through them all.

Christopher Bailey

Damn, Chris, that is one of the finest things I've heard ever on
these lists! Pacing, dynamics, structure, great use of the adaptive
tunings -- it's got it all! Constantly kept my interest and bore
repeated listenings. Far from the 'exercise' category, you've put up
a real beaut!

I think I may have to write you off-list to commission a percussion
concerto!

Cheers,
Jon

I agree! You're a composer wh really hears your music all the way through
bwefore you put it out there.
I don't know if this is fact, but the 70limit tuning seems to make some of
the chords sound much larger than they really are. Keep it up.
