I installed Sibelius 6, the music notation program not the symphony of the same name (for which I have no use). Instead of studying the updated features I wrote a new 30 Second Spot.

Rain Random is a two-minute music composition with video images. The images are of rain. The piece is very cold and wet. Very empty. Like waiting for a bus on a street corner where there is no bus shelter without a raincoat during a huge rainstorm and everything around you just gets more blurred and dismal. More wet. More soaked. Please enjoy Rain Random.Rain Random copyright (c) 2009 by...

This is not the title EITHER is a sequel to This is not the title, the previous post (or click here). Read more at Mixed Meters here. The two pieces are exactly the same, except this one is longer and they have completely different notes and a different form and mostly different melodies (one is the same). The sequel also has a laugh track. And the outside inspirations are different; this o...

The title of this piece claims that it is not the title. Try not to think about it. Musically, the initial inspirations for this piece were rhythms from a country-mambo song, a fifties novelty tune about cavemen and a riff from a Tito Puente track. After that, things got weird.There will be a sequel to This is not the title in a few days. Try to imagine what the title of the sequel is. Try ...

This is another short piano piece - for a special sort of imaginary quarer-tone piano. It's kind of a sequel to the previous piano piece Live Chat.The title comes from a high school student who wouldn't feel like listening to this music.Music and Image Copyright (c) 2008 by David Ocker This piece also appears on my blog (Mixed Meters) here
