new music - feedback

[uethanian]

so this summer, i've been working on some stuff for justly tuned piano. i'm not sure what its along the lines of...but anyways i just got a few recordings up on myspace and i wanted some feedback (and dont hesitate to add me either )

o and btw, does anyone know how to put a layout on a music myspace? there's no 'about me' section and every section i have tried has yielded strange results

Sounds good, but all your tracks are panned hard left.

It just sounds out of tune to me - I can imagine a live gig and reviews saying - this would have been a good gig if only he had tuned the piano...

And I'm a big fan of Messiaen,Ligeti,Stockhausen etc etc.

in-tune, just unfamiliar. if you read the blurb on my myspace, you can see i went about tuning in a very practical way.

i'm not too familiar with any of those guys, but from what i know, none of them worked with just tunings (how could they, with a full orchestra).

Ligeti definitely works with differnet tunings - his violin concerto requires all the players to be tuned slightly differently!

Stockhausen has done just about everything unconventional you could imagine, in his career - too much to list here!

All of them have written music for small groups and solo instruments, including piano. Messiaien is famous for writing comprehensive birdsong transcriptions for solo piano.
