Composition Blog #8

Three etudes: the first using a the cuckoo-clock sound which was so popular. The second uses two different recordings I made of some related (but different) chords on acoustic guitar. Sorry if this was cheating, I wanted to do something different. And the third is a drone made from the sound of a wind chime.

Finally, just for fun, I quickly showcase a cute little free VST I found called MeowSynth. I think the cat-lovers of the class may enjoy it :3

  1. The cuckoo clock is awesome–best sounds I’ve heard in some time!
    The guitar etude sounds suspiciously like “Electric Counterpoint” by Steve Reich, a piece you should know if you don’t already.
    I like where that wind chime etude was going…I hope you’ll pick up the thread there.
    Yes, there are some cat lovers in this class who are going to be all over that little plugin, thanks to you. Curses!

  2. Goodness, someone once recommended me Electric Counterpoint a long time ago and I almost completely forgot about that piece. Indeed, I love the use of these layered guitar textures.
