Thursday 15th June 2006 - One Mile Deep - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. Experimental sequence. Imagine, if you will, a submarine descending to one mile for the first time. It reaches depth, the reactors seem to be running fine, and then something goes tragically wrong. A code is sent, but Davey Jones sings louder as the sub breaks up and is dragged into the cold, black, abyss. (15 k, 120 sec)

Thursday 25th May 2006 - Josh's Processional - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I decided to write a stately song for one of my better band members similar to Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 (which I have to play on the keyboard at graduation in a few days). For you composers: did you know you can take any melody and harmonize it by playing a third below the melody or a sixth below? The opening section of this piece demonstrates this easy way to harmonize. (24 k, 66 sec)
Tuesday 23rd May 2006 - Brandon's Alarm Clock - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I wrote this experimental piece for a great 8th grade tenor sax player. I had to save this MIDI at every step of the way because it kept crashing my composition program. This MIDI should not affect anything but your hearing. Listen to the whole thing. It actually starts making some rhythmical sense towards the long-awaited end. (24 k, 66 sec)

Saturday 4th February 2006 - BEFORE - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I thought I might try a little experiment. I just composed this around 7:00 PM, and at 10:00 tonight, I am hosting an all-night 'lock-in' for fifty sixth and seventh grade band members. When the lock-in is over at 7:00 AM in the morning, I will compose 'AFTER' and see what effect being up from 4:30 this morning (I now have an AM bus route) until 7:00 AM Saturday has on my composing. Adversity is what makes life fun because it gives you something to remember. (15 k, 130 sec)

Thursday 19th January 2006 - Windy Afternoon - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I never quite understood the difference between a two or four part invention (Bach style) and a fugue (must have slept through that 8:00 AM music theory class many moons ago). Well anyway, I'll let you be the judge. What is quite interesting is that we did not obtain a set of music rules from Bach. The rules and the way we still write most of our music were derived from the study of his compositions. (13 k, 79 sec)
Wednesday 18th January 2006 - Beethoven's Lament - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2006 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I caught a little mouse in the gym's concession stand this morning and the elementary kids named him Beethoven. While waiting for the 6th grade band to arrive (I now teach kindergarten through twelfth grade) I played in this sad little song. The mouse started jumping around in the jar I have it in. I think the mouse was more upset over my music than being trapped. I will take it home and let it go after winter (or when my wife finds out!!) (5 k, 121 sec)

Tuesday 20th December 2005 - Behind Bars - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. This one is for you folks serving time. The chords keep on with a rhythm that must be as boring as the days and nights you have to suffer through, and the melody is as sad as I can make it, thinking about how I would feel being away from my loved ones and relatives every Christmas. (11 k, 143 sec)
Monday 19th December 2005 - The Two Bass Boogie - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. When fishing today I caught four bass using a devil's horse (a top-water lure with three treble hooks and propellers on each end). I was about ready to leave when I had a giant strike. The line was going everywhere. As the fish got closer, I could see that I had not one, but two bass. Both had hit at the same time and I got them both in. One probably weighed one pound and the other, two. I was so excited, I forgot to make the usual check of my line on the next cast, and as it was twisted around the end of the pole, the line snapped and the lure flew off to parts unknown. (The lake giveth and the lake taketh away.) (30 k, 164 sec)
Wednesday 14th December 2005 - Christmas Variations - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. If you listen to the whole piece, you will hear the Christmas variation.

Saturday 10th December 2005 - Eleven Sevenths - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. Here is my piece for minor 7ths. I created a melody and then added a flat 7th above it. I then used different instruments and a short fugue for variety. (5 k, 34 sec)

Saturday 3rd December 2005 - Pleading the 5th - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I say if someone pleads the 5th amendment, they are guilty. I think I will cease these interval songs. I don't even want to hear one with all six's or sevens. (6 k, 29 sec)
Friday 2nd December 2005 - Go Fourth - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. This melody only uses intervals of a 4th. It is not very melodic. For your information, in music, an interval is the distance between two notes. (3 k, 29 sec)
Thursday 1st December 2005 - Mostly Thirds - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. My next composition in this series of interval songs is a little xylophone and bassoon duet. (3 k, 40 sec)

Here is a little experimental percussion ensemble in memory of that event. (15 k, 68 sec)

Wednesday 17th August 2005 - So Long, So Short - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I don't know why I like this progression so much. I guess it is the automatic chromatic static racket. You might hack it in a jacket cause the notes are in a bracket. (9 k, 96 sec)
Tuesday 16th August 2005 - Peace in the Morning - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. I bought a Radium M-Audio MIDI controller keyboard yesterday.

Wednesday 10th August 2005 - Eskimo Parachute Dance - by Jim Taylor. Copyright © 2005 James K Taylor, all rights reserved. The Eskimos have a group activity of pitching someone in the air with a parachute. Rather than turning a cold shoulder, all gather in a circle called the o-zone. They begin running as the tempo accelerates and many hats fall off causing the loss of polar ice-caps. The heat generated by this causes the o-zone opening to increase. The Eskimos really think this song is cool, although, if you interrupt this tradition, one might point a pole at you and say 'Freeze!' (51 k, 199 sec)
