Here is my Speck of Dust, along with Steve Bowman's Crater Dust, with Crater Dust performed by:
Steve Bowman
Richard Lainhart
Mel Morley
Dale Parson
Thanks, Steve, for the invitation to collaborate! It was great. I can't wait to get a quiet half hour with no work in queue some time this week, and get to listen to Crater Dust with no other activities.
Phobos has a great live mutilated version of Speck of Dust over here.
Thanks, everyone. It was a wonderful weekend.
Dale

Thank you, Jez. Speaking of which, I meant to thank you above for being the conduit in distributing these and many other recordings from the weekend. That's a double to Jez.
Take care.

Dale, my honor to share this music with you and Mel and Richard. And thanks JEZ for the hookup to the .wav file of my performances. I just listened to Crater Dust and heard how spacey it sounded to the audience. I know it sounded good while playing it. A few times while performing I just stopped and listened and enjoyed the twisting, throbbing sounds.
I'd love to hear from others who heard our Crater Dust, either live (it was LOUD, exactly as I had hoped) or streamed or from this download. How did it sound?
If there's any interest, I'll post the "score" to Crater Dust, so others can play it. It's does follow a formula that isn't too hard to pick up.

I think that is a very good idea. I always have enjoyed reading the "score" to pieces like In C -- it opens another perspective on the piece for listeners and potential performers.
Take care. _________________ When the stream is deep

After hearing the PHOBoS remix I'm listening to acoustic_interloper_em2010 (original).
Great set! Had heard it on the stream before of course, but ... had a lil music overload then I guess
Thank you for posting it.

Thanks for listening and your posts, Jan I just got my quiet time to listen to Crater Dust, and enjoyed it very much as a listener. A lot of nice texture and breathing space in that piece and performance.
For Speck of Dust my first observation is always the clinkers I hit on the banjo (or guitar in other cases), but having heard even Philip Glass hit some clinkers at a performance here a year ago, I don't obsess too much about it.
The thing that makes me most happy is the versatility that Scrabble-to-MIDI has shown over the space of the last 15 months, growing out of the chess-to-just-intonation program's concepts of late 2007. Scrabble-to-MIDI has been through 3 solstice performances plus em2010, and it feels open ended, especially with new features always in the work queue. Mel Morley requested point-and-click startup, external synths, and save-restore for the music generator config parameters back in May at Pocono Skies, and I got them done in time for em2010. He just requested loading the letter bag with "cheat words" just after I found a need for that (my students and I are demoing for our university's trustees in 2 weeks -- we want the game to ask for funds ). What I like most, though, is that I can see ways to use letters, words, phrases, clauses, and discourse at multiple levels of hierarchy, not only up into higher levels of composition, but also down into the substrate of sound design as well. I am really hoping to get a Pacarana on a grant this year.
I am also hoping to get my son Jeremy to attend em2011 with me and duet. Getting Sierra from "Ordinary Machinery" to co-compose and fly in to perform would be a real coup. We'll see.
Anyway, thanks for the ongoing feedback and encouragement of the last few years. This is a blast, and a great way to be spending creative energy.
Take care.

Just heard this Spec Of Dust recording on the radio.electro-music.com stream. Wow, Dale, that's really fantastic. Congratulations on a really fabulous work.
I must have missed your set at the event. Too bad. But I'm really glad I got to hear this today.
BRAVO

Thanks, Howard, your words warm my heart You were working the stream just before this, probably got pulled into some other work. Always a wonderful, busy weekend!
I can't wait until classes are done soon and I can jump back into making some new music, Summer Solstice for sure. Jeremy is doing an independent study in computer audio this summer, so we'll play a duet.
Hope you are having a good Sunday. I've made this my first day of zero work since the semester's start, just hanging out here on the couch playing with the iPad. Downloaded some apps tody, if you have any goodies to recommend, I'd be happy to hear.
Thanks again. Have a good week.
