Formal Racky



  Should I be BLOG'ing these entries? I hadn't changed this site in over 2 years, now I have changed it monthly. The first movement was adagio.

A previous message was concerning today's music genres and remains popular in googlilng reference. Some people still click on the 'genres' link so I have left it in this message.

This page has music that was written by me with the aid of a computer: I used music-notation software. I wrote these pieces in standard music tabulation and let my MIDI provide the actual implementation for the orchestral parts. The music is mine but it's been hi-jacked by the computer interfaces. The software and MIDI instrument have great control over aural qualtiies. As in the classical tradition, all music is written out, note for note.

And, for returning visitors, I promise I will create a new promo picture within a year. To replace the one to the right.

  A list at the bottom of the page has other sources by which you can download these pieces

The birds have taken the worst beating of all. They have sensitive souls, which cannot take all this hideous noise and vibration. All the caged lovebirds have died from the shock of the blasts, while birds in the wild fly upside down and do crazy somersaults. Hundreds, if not thousands, have died in the orchard. Lonely survivors flay about in a distacted fashion.

You can also find some of these songs (albeit older versions) on internet sites such as:
formats in addition to mp3 are noted
  soundclick.com (USA)
  dmusic.com (USA)
  mp3.com.au (Australia) WMA

If you need, do an artist search for Radtke.
Again, these sites will provide a faster download time than my humble DSL line,
some offering formats different from mp3.
