Spirits of the Sacred Sky

Spirits of the Sacred Sky was inspired by Native Americans and their connection with the sky
at night. My original composition was commissioned by the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theatre in San Diego

Cycles – Yamaha CX5M Synthesizer

Cycles was composed, programed and recorded totally in a Yamaha CX5M computer work station. All notes were entered one at a time in
step mode. Storage was via cassette. All memory was lost when turning off the AC power. The CX5M consisted of 46 sounds, 8 channels with
a polyphany of one note each. Sounds could be changed as often as you wanted. The computer wasl FM syntheisis, and had 128kb of storage with a maximum of 8172 enteries of any kind (notes, midi, etc.).
Cycles was composed for the San Diego Reuben H. Fleet Space Theatre. It was directly connected to the theatre’s tape machine and recorded
in real time in one pass. My goal was to show how much could be done with the limited equipment available at that time.

Amazing Musical Balls

This incredible machine was built as a collaborative effort between the Robert M. Trammell Music Conservatory and the Sharon Wick School of Engineering at the University of Iowa. It took the team a combined 13,029 hours of set-up, alignment, calibration, and tuning before filming this video but as you can see, it was well worth the effort.

The Music of Bertrum Turetzky

A very close friend of mine released a Cd of music featuring the ‘double bass’ some years ago and one of the tunes is a very interesting approach to composition and I’d like to present it here.
It’s ‘Reflections on Ives and Whittier by Bertrum Turetzky.

National Anthem – Played on a bass

I know, we’ve seen the National Anthem sung by singers and choirs, played by trumpets and bands….. but on a bass?

Shepard Tone

The shepard tone is an audio illusion which seems to get forever higher but never really does.
