To hear some of my other MIDI files, click on the links below.

• NOW PLAYING: A Big Mess of Timelessness - A plethora of percussive instruments played by the 'puter in a pulse of polyrhythmic patterns as per my precise placement of preferred parameters.
• The Pyramids of Mars - Imagine a stoned Beethoven hunched over a Casio toy keyboard (well, a very expensive one!) pondering the images that have been beamed back from space in this century. Do you think the Cydonian pyramids and the human-like face on Mars were put there by ancient astronauts? I sure don't, but they're very intriguing. Don't know what happened to the "portamento" effect. Can you hear it in MIDPlug? Can anybody tell me why I can't hear it or how to fix this problem?
• Antediluvian Postlude - electric jazz/blues--the "prequel" to the piece below
• Postdiluvian Prelude - short symphonic angst. In my opinion, this one sounds better using QuickTime 3.0 than it does with the Yamaha MIDPlug, but I'm working on that disparity.
• The Shock! - At 1:47 AM on 9/21/99, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 hit Taiwan. I was there, and I survived, but over 2,300 others didn't. Several weeks later, we were still experiencing aftershocks of up to 6.9. It made quite a mark on me. Composing this saxophone quartet was my post-trauma therapy.
• Somebody Kill that MOFO! - At first, this was a stereo experiment with drums, gunshots, and a ringing telephone, but it went a little out of control. This is the result. Classical-punk?
• Broken Glass (Board race music for classroom situations) - Glass-ian freneticism.
• Buddha Is My Bruddah - a student of mine once wrote that she liked "Buddhist and pop music." I had a revelation, "Buddhist pop music!" I took the well-known "Ah mi tuo fo" Buddhist chant and mixed in the melody of Taiwan pop star Chang Hui-Mei(A-Mei)'s "You Are My Sister." Voilà--Buddhist Pop!
• Punk Without A Cause - Originally written with the lyrics: "I love the smell of chemicals, in concentrated form, My brain is dead my eyes are red, hey isn't that the norm?" Hahaha! MIDI has again expanded my ability to create. Not just punk, it contains a little bit of ska, a dash of fusion, and various influences from other realms.
• Piano Concerto 1999 - a musical 'chiaroscuro' inspired by a true tale of forbidden love that eventually had a happy ending -- she left me, and I found someone much better for me. This is the "prequel" to the piece below.
• Light Blue Dream - written while very sad but trying to keep my spirits up. It's music I wrote to help put myself at peace after the end of a relationship -- the "sequel" to the piece above.
