Yeah, alot of what you said is the reason why I put the piano part in the end, it's almost like a sort half relief of tension, but not quite. I also enjoy injecting sounds or music that are barely audible, I theorize that the ear, on some level, still tries to keep track of the sounds even when they can't be heard. As for adding my own music so something similar to this, I'm planning on it, although it would be with an acoustic guitar since that's what I have access to. When I get around to it I'll post it and see if people like that or not.

Mostly that it just started because I thought it might be interesting. More specifically, most of the recordings are from short wave "numbers stations" Numbers station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and it seems like alot of very good and musically interesting things could be done with sampling, overdubbing, and sampling specific parts of them, etc. . Hence, since what I used was recorded directly off the radio by someone, it sounds quite dirty (I specifically used some tracks from the Conet Project). Obviously, there's also one of Satie's Gymnopedies thrown in there, mainly becase a. I like Satie. b. It's an interesting contrast. and c. It's a rather strange recontextualization of it.

Someone might find this of interest, whether it can truely be considered a composition of my own or not is of some debate, I put it together, though, and that required some effort and tact. Radio C.D. Pierce

As far as traditional, not really, the closest thing might be some actual songs I have hosted here: CD Pierce - free MP3 music downloads on SoundClick Which are somewhat more accessible. I have considered composing something in a more traditional, but loosely adhered to, form, i.e. a sonata, sonatina, rondeau, etc.... As it stands I'm more or less trying to hash out a method of making music via my conclusions, though, so far, it is somewhat analogous to the Schoenberg approach, though I'm consiously trying to avoid simply adopting his method. C.D. Pierce P.S. If I had false gray hair, I might just have to wear it under candle light, just so it doesn't go to waste, Although I doubt it would affect my music much.

hahahahahah, that's fine, at least you're honest. It's not for everyone, in fact it's probably for a minority. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, the detuning is intentional, I like recording on a slightly out of tune guitar now and again, I feel it gives it a somewhat uneasy sound. I'd like, sometime, to look into using some of the bewtwixt tone tunings that have been used in Indian tunings at various times. As for the recording, it was recorded directly into audacity and it is, indeed, multitracked. I'll give a tweaking to the guitar and try to reduce some of the bass and see what I can get. Thanks for the feedback good sir!

The following is a link to a composition of my own. Pertinent information is as follows: Recorded with an Alvarez RD20CU acoustic/eclectric guitar via using audacity as software. The only "distortion" used is the audacity noise removal effect, which I use mainly to remove background hiss, although, in some compositions, it does have other, unforeseen, effects. More such compositions can be found at http://www.myspace.com/christophdpierce as well as in the link listed in the "blog" contained on the myspace page. Alternately, if anyone is interested, I could probably find some other places to host pieces and link to them via the forum. Said piece: "Yes-And" www2.potsdam.edu/pierce03/Yes-And.mp3
