Electronic Impressionism

Electronic Impressionism is the name I give to music that has the following characteristics:

Created primarily via electronic instrumentation with limited acoustic instruments
Small to full Orchestral in scope
Electronic timbres used to emulate the effect of the instrument
Programmatic thematic material
Heart over deliberate intellect

Some Contemporary Electronic Realizations

There are really parts of two albums here. The first are some relatively early compositions that for whatever reasons, never made it to final mastering. They were created in the late seventies and early eighties, mostly on Yamaha DX-7 and Roland U220 'ROMpler,' or sample player.

The rest are compositions created using more advanced techniques of electronic performance, including using Gigastudio sample libraries, physical modeling and additive syhnthesis techniques for advanced compositional control and increased verisimilitude (i.e., it sounds better!)

The plan was to complete the main structure as you hear it, then replace most of the tracks with live drums and sax, and probably bass. But a computer crash trashed the files (I did have them backed up, but the backups would not retore...) So here they are, drum machine loops and all, for your consideration.

About the Music

Most of these compositions are incomplete, stemming from a system crash that cost me both my works in progress and my backup media. Don't ask... At that time, the tracks were lacking drum parts, and the mixes were basic, two-dimensional engineer's mixes. As the only remaining remnants of that period, I offer the tracks as a single download.
