vibes from the head
a little time stop of just over four minutes played on the piano. A piece I’ve been working on (struggling with) for a tad more than four minutes. Many of the notes are probably not even the right ones, as well as not necessarily being in the right order. Here is a piano score generated by Logic Pro to use as a guide. Calling proper piano players out there; I would love to hear your interpretation.
… played here by Bam and Ruth. A slow piece, sometimes plaintive, sometimes less so, inspired in part by distant memories of hearing Charlie Chaplin’s soundtracks.
Bam Boozle and the horn swogglers play a slow laid-back minor blues in the jazz style for those summer evenings. Bam on piano, Ruth Tempet on trumpet, Boa Dubless on double bass, Art Guthie on guitar and Ed Thrums on drums (Bam & Ruth made a few changes 3/7/2011).
for piano and violin. Here is a the rough score for piano & violin.
a first offering from Bam Boozle and the horn swogglers. A quirky little number, one might say, with piano, accordion, trombone, violin, double bass, glockenspiel and percussion.
a light-hearted piece for piano to welcome in the New Year (maybe a little late). Here is a rough piano score.
a fairly extensive rewrite of a piece I wrote at the end of 2009 (edited early 2011) – here is a short orchestral interlude with lush strings, solo violins, piano and French horn possibly inspired by all the snow around (but maybe not) when I worked on it and dedicated to my parents.
imagine if you will, a sextet with piano, double bass, drums, trumpet, vibes and synths playing this jazz tune plus the usual nonsense (an element of the circus maybe??) in a small club near you.
a very short piece submitted for the following request (not accepted I hasten to add).
Project Name: TV Commercial

Description: A large advertising agency is looking for a dreamy, soft track that will be used with an ad for cosmetics. The melody should be very engaging, soft and inspirational for women.
