Tartuffe Soundtrack 1997, Recorded 2010:
While attending Trinity Christian College I wrote the soundtrack to the student theater production of “Tartuffe” in April 1997, Directed by Ken DeWyn. It is really great to revisit works that I have done over the years… now totaling over 250 pieces… Most of them are junk, but there are a few good things in there. This soundtrack would be one of them, I started writing music using FINALE in 1993. Using my ROLAND MT-32, which you will hear exclusively in the soundtrack. During the performance I hooked my computer and synth to the sound system and played the MIDI file “live.”
Set in the Baroque period I can’t say I like the use of the “Recorder” synth sound that I thought of as being “Clarinets” or “Oboes,” however the Organ and Harpsichord has a pretty good sound on the MT-32.
While recording these pieces, I had many “what was I thinking” moments… But I realize that is where I was in my development and it serves as a great reference to where I was and where I am going. We learn so much by where we’ve been…

The Allerton Project is a 3 movement piece that is intended to be played at Robert Allerton Park in order: (Clouds, Wind, and Sun) with a personal mp3 player in an open field. Feel free to download and try it out, find an open field, set up a blanket, and relax with headphones. The main theme is based on an a midi piece that I originally wrote for my wife when we first started dating.
You can listen to the MIDI File here. -Be sure to turn up your SYNTH volume on your computer or you will not be able to hear the MIDI file.
