May 19

These two were recorded after I saw a pretty horrific war scene in a movie. I think I'm going to edit the first one (#11) into my required composition for AP Music Theory. It starts out slow and sort of unorganized, but it is "going somewhere", I promise.

Sometimes, during seventh-period study hall, we all take a nap. Today was one of those times, so I supplied "eine kleine nap-musik".

Just a nice bit of music, during a very nice evening with Will and Katie.

May 6

The character of this one is a little strange, because I didn't really find a direction right away. Once I got started, though, it ended up being pretty cool. Also, this is the first recording I've posted that uses my home piano.

In this one, I started out with Lady Gaga's "Telephone" and played with Dorian mode for a minute, before lapsing into my normal style. For some reason, I ended up playing the Solfeggietto (not well) at about 6 minutes in, and messed it up so bad that I gave up, ha!

And in this one, you get to hear me stumble my way through Debussy's "Clair de Lune", which I'm steadily forgetting - each time I play it, on average, I lose one or two notes. I messed up most obviously at 1:40, and at 2:10 I completely forgot what I was doing and started something else. It's just a short coda, I guess, to Recording #6.
