When I started really working on music scores, I was quite taken by the fugue. It seemed like such a maximal kind of thing, like all of an idea could be stretched out, toyed with, manipulated and expressed in a fugue. The fugue was like a microcosm of the universal musical idea -- or something like that. I tried a couple of times with little success, but I thought this turned out nicely. It starts and ends in C, but moves in different places throughout. It's short, but it gets the point across. I hope to actually play one someday. I've excited to announce I recently finished and sequenced this batch of songs for an album I've put up on the bandcamp page for you to freely download and check out. I'm really proud of this group of recordings, and really feel like I've expanded on myself as an artist and musician. The next stuff I work on is going in this abstract, ambient kind of thing, but I think I've learned a lot from really soaking in music theory and doing these more formal pieces and that's really gonna become a part of the arsenal going forward. The new album is called "The Forms." Like I said, it's available for free on my bandcamp site. A link should be listed on but I'll leave it here as well: https://whettmanchelmets.bandcamp.com/ Thanks to everybody on here who have encouraged me and listened. All of your kinds words meant a lot to me. My plays jumped about 3x's from 2013 to 2014, so I'm really happy with how the year has progressed, and I look forwards to exploring 2015. Again, my most sincerely thanks for listening and commenting. It means a lot to me.
