I Have Video Up!

I now have video up. I just bought a webcam and I’m in the process of fucking around with it.

This is another random improvisation. Didn’t really mean to have my shirt off but its hot and it was an in-the-moment kind of thing.

Here is where you can see it. I’m going to set up a youtube account because I’ll be posting quite a few of these things.

More Stuff

Okay, I just loaded two more pieces onto the myspace page.

The first new piece, the “Random piece” one, is kind of fucking depressing. Whatever. Deal with it, I wrote it when I was fucking depressed. This is a bare-bones version, there are tons of things I need to add to it. Soon.

The other piece is just an improv I did about an hour ago. Literally, I just sat down and started fucking around, trying to work out some ideas.

Any comments are welcome.

Edit: More substantial posts will follow this, I know right its lame to just link to a myspace per post, but whatever, this is all a work in progress.

Some MUSIC

Go to this:

I have two pieces put up there. The first “Goodbye Pork Pie Hat,” is by Charles Mingus and I created the arrangement myself. It is highly composed, and I did it for auditions when I was 17.

The other piece is a very, very raw improvisation I just played a few hours ago based on the song “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore” by Duke Ellington. It’s a classic jazz tune and not at all like the things I compose myself, but it’s something immediate that I can at least put down to get used to my awesome free recording software.

The sound quality sucks worse than a girl with knives for teeth, but I wanted to at least put something on tape for now. Like I said above, the things I compose are very much NOT like this, but these pieces at least reflect some of my training. More to come.
