I'm a guy who used to write lots and lots of music. My lack of success became a little troubling, so now I write about Belltown and photograph squirrels. You got a problem with that?

One Day Wonder #238

For 2 horns, 2 trumpets and tuba.

This piece was supposed to wash my hands of the last two efforts. It didn’t distract me from those failures – at least not for long. This tune was not meant to be minimalism. And, guess what, it’s not! Sure, there is a lot of rhythmic uniformity and not much structure, but its modal tonality is very restless. It keeps ascending to a certain point and them starts over. It turns out OK. It’s no classic, but after jockeying stuff around in #236 and #237, this is a refreshing change.
