Purchase My Music

Here on this website all my music can be accessed for free. However, I have also joined a few commercial online music distributors, in order to explore if there is a commercial value and potential for musicians. Such Online Music Distributors (OMDs) have enabled me to put some of my music on iTunes, Amazon, and other online sites - see more details here.

My pre-2003 music renditions have been online on commercial OMDs for a while. Since 10.Feb.2011 also my latest music renditions are available for purchase: I have compiled the latest versions of all renditions which I made in 2010 into my very first "album":

The album "My Music in 2010" is currently available on CD Baby. It contains 8 tracks, among them Gustav Mahler's complete "Symphony No.1". All the tracks from this album are also being distributed to a large number of other online music distributors, such as iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Zune, and others.

What is this web site?
This site contains my music recordings. I work with a computer, sequencer, and synthesizer to create "renditions" of classical orchestral music.

Since 1993, I have been using computers to record classical music. I have used these electronic means (MIDI control) not with the purpose of creating a "new" sound, but rather with the goal of creating natural sounding musical recordings, reproducing classical orchestral sound, following my own interpretation of the music.

In January 2010 I built a new recording system, MAESTRO-2, running Windows7 64bit, with an Intel Core i7 920 processor, 12 GB triple-channel memory and a RAID-0 disk array. The system has the sequencer Sonar 8.5 and the instrumental sample library Garritan Personal Orchestra 4. With this new system I am now re-recording some of my previous renditions, and am also starting new projects.

The music selection here on this site represents solely my personal taste: I am creating these "renditions" from music works which I like very much and which I know well. Having listened to several different interpretations of these works, I use the computing technology to create my own personal interpretation of the music I like.

This web site is also a kind of testbed for some web technologies with which I am experimenting. One should note that this web site adapts to any screen size automatically, and it should work well on a mobile phone screen too. This is achieved through floating DIV segments. Furthermore, I am using PHP and MySQL for administration of the file information.
