Jeff MacArthur: muzikDEN Theme (Home Studio)

song: muzikDEN Main Theme album: Podcast Theme Song (home studio)

music & performance by Jeff MacArthur:

  • Jeff MacArthur – programming, synth

This was a tune the original instrumental Solcola used to do that I loved. It’s in 11/8 time, which you don’t hear so often, and when I created muzikDEN, I thought it would be a fitting theme (reconstructed somewhat).

You can hear the whole piece (sans solos, of course) in this longer version:

Jeff MacArthur: the Whole Hole (Home Studio)

song: the Whole Hole album: Snausages (home studio)

music & performance by Jeff MacArthur:

  • Jeff MacArthur – programming, synth

This is the first “classical” piece I ever wrote and reflects my obsession at the time with unusual scales. The main body/middle section uses a whole tone scale exclusively – my  computer music teacher (it was a term project) said it sounded like the theme to a speghetti western by Tim Burton – I took that as a complement.

song: Four Winds album: Snausages (home studio)

music & performance by Jeff MacArthur:

  • Jeff MacArthur – programming, synth

This is derived from a guitar piece I used to play around on, with the intent to have four live winds and two strings (which I accomplished using synths, obviously). Holds a special place in my heart.

song: Quartet album: Snausages (home studio)

music & performance by Jeff MacArthur:

  • Jeff MacArthur – programming, synth

I always wanted to write a little string quartet just to say I had, so here it is. Another university composition, distantly descended from a guitar piece I used to play.
