Explanation 0f My MIDI's and
Musical Style
Much of my music is very theme oriented-
similar to video game music. I aspire to be a video game
music composer, so naturally game music inspires me. I wrote
some of my game music for a multi-player strategy game I created,
starring the Greek Gods of Olympus. Since I cannot program
as of yet, The Gods' Game remains in board game form and
has for many years, but hopefully one day will be
programmed. Much of my game music is imitative of the
Role-playing Game (RPG) style. In addition to game music, I
compose for the piano, so I sequence and arrange several pieces
for MIDI. Other pieces I compose using the computer and my
Peavey keyboard; these pieces are what I would call new age or
modern classical. These styles have shaped my music thus
far. But I try to expand my composition style with every
piece I write to better my composition skills and musical
understanding.
Soundcard and Repeat Note
As an additional note, I composed all of my
MIDI files using Creative's Soundblaster series
soundcards. So, at least a wavetable soundcard should be
used to enjoy these fully. Some songs might suffer in
quality without one. Also, I loop most of my video game pieces
once to show that, were they playing during a game, they would
repeat endlessly.

Description |
| *Crystal Fields |
An experimental piece;
done by pure instinct. It is like program music, I
added some poetry:
...as the crystals grew and pierced their shards through
the soil, so did the children run amidst them, shattering
all but joy and showering light.
(see award room) |
| NEW Electric Cascade |
The piece that broke out
of a many month compositional dry spell... Began as a
techno battle song, became quite a bit more. A
groundbreaker for me; very new style. |
| *Field of Wind |
An old composition made
new with the joys of MIDI; the title explains the music:
Expressive wind and string ensemble piece.
(see award room) |
| *I Will Keep Going |
An uplifting modern
piece!
(see award room) |
| Impatience |
Originally a piano piece,
converted and orchestrated for MIDI. |
| *The Jellyfish |
A character piece
presenting the mysterious and beautiful Jellyfish;
originally for piano.
(see award room) |
| *Lessons of Happiness |
An imitative "modern
baroque" arrangement descended from an old piano
piece of mine. Very fun.

My first new age style
composition! Really makes me want to dance!

piece; attempting classical style.

A lyrical style piece of
happiness and realization, proving difficulty can
strengthen.

| Turning Poison into Medicine |
An experimental piece
showing how good can come from bad. |
| Waltz #1 |
My first attempt at a
Waltz; not elaborate, but cute. |
| *Waltz #2 (Minuwaltz) |
I was surprised how well
this turned out! My first baroque waltz; for harpsichord
and string quartet. It has qualities of both a
minuet and a waltz.
