The Music

The plan is to release many recordings as the project develops, grouped by the mountain ranges. The first one is HERE and is a collection of tracks from the Catskills, NY scores. The recordings will continue to expand and grow over time, and I welcome interpretations of these pieces by other people, for any configuration of instruments, electronics, vocalists, etc. Professional, student, and amateur musicians are all welcome to participate. For information about submitting a recording and interpreting the scores just reach out to me.

In a general sense, this style of music is best described as “experimental,” in the sense that it explores new textures and sounds, inspired by a relatively new environment, without any concern for whether it sells or not. It’s certainly not commercial music–you won’t hear it on the radio. It might groove, it might not. It might have a “melody” but it might not. It might be very sparse or it might be lush. It depends on the score, and of course on the musicians interpreting it.
