A new work for your ears.....

Hey all,

I've uploaded a new work, an improvisation called "Hommage á Messiaen" for
synthesizer and percussion to my website.

The link is http://www.aaronandlorna.com/audio/hommage_á_messiaen.mp3

The piece is of interest in that it is an application of Paul Hahn's maximully
consonant 7-limit just tuning, which I inquired about recently on the tuning
list.

I'd love to hear your comments!

Happy Halloween,
Aaron Krister Johnson

Just went to download this, and noticed the French character.
Not a good idea in file names.

wget has no problem with it on Windows, though. Haven't tried
anything else.

Joseph-

Thanks for listening!

Yes, a gun to my head would make me choose the same. But I like the idea of
doing different things! If everything I do get's compared to "Juggler", I'm
liable to destroy it! (just kidding). But seriously, sophmoritis.....

"Juggler" was but on side of my musical persona, an apollonian side, one might
say..

I think I'm proud of "hommage" for it's raw improvisatory energy, something
that is hard to (but not impossible) capture in composition. It's very
"Dionysian"... Andy and I were very pleased listening back to it!

But again, I love the feedback, pro or con, so thanks!

All best,
AKJ

***Just personal taste, of course. I believe I expressed my opinion
before that _The Juggler_ was one of the finest microtonal
compositions I have heard... a tad short, though... :)
