While Legend Music Part I was my first full length album, Part II was never published. I am now publishing it for the first time.

Legend Music also had a story line, and... here it is:


Legend Music - Part I

Not far from the system of Orion, there is a planet, simply called by its inhabitants Our Planet. Its inhabitants are simple folk called The Gnome. They live in a land called Xaria. Their loves include water and work. They take special pride in their love of water. They swim in it, drink it, and throw it at each other all of their free time. Their unfree time is the time of work. Their work is known all over the land.

On another land called Nightland there is a forgotten cave. The cave belongs to a forgotten evil sorcerer called The Dark Lord Dnuos, manipulator of sound. Dnuos has been awakened from a magic sleep, lasting a thousand years. The first thing he does, as a fully awake sorcerer, is to release an evil magic army force called The Forgm, and a fleet of winged lizards from a magic NoMovement spell.

Meanwhile, in the land of The Gnome, a special celebration is made. The Gnome have built a flying machine, and they are ready to fly. A special march of Gnome Dignitaries is made in honor of the brave Gnome pilots, and the whole event is named "The Xarian Hope".

Back at the Nightlandish cave, Dnuos, using his magic powers, seeing it as an opportunity to conquer Xaria. He releases his Forgm forces and his winged lizards on the Xarians. The Gnome are captured, and Xaria is ruined. The captured Gnome are made slaves, and Dnuos uses octagon sounds to control them. He puts them to work on a machine called The Night Dnuos. It's designed to put The Gnome to sleep, until he'll make up his mind what to do with them. The Gnome, finding themselves asleep, dream of freedom, work, and water.


Legend Music - Part II

Dark Lord Dnuos awakes the Gnome. He puts them to work on a new mind control machine. When it is finished, he has them building some buildings. A hundred years go by.

Meanwhile, at Xaria, some Gnome have survived. The Gnome flying machines have become a legend among them, but now they are found again, and the surviving Xarian Gnome learn how to fly them. They give other surviving Gnome flying lessons. Their goal is to launch a counterattack on Dnuos from the air, and release the captive Gnome slaves. When they try this, Dnuos turns them into Graveyard Zombies. Now all the Gnome are captive slaves.

Life continues for The Gnome, and new Gnome children are born. One of then is Oggy, a deaf Gnome. Dnuos uses sounds to control The Gnome, but Oggy can't hear. Oggy learns how the Dnuos machines work, and he uses his skill for reversing the machines. The Gnome are now free from the control of Dnuos. They kill him, and make Oggy their leader. His first act as their leader is to make their freedom day a special celebration day, calling it The Day of Hope and Victory. Xaria is rebuilt, and The Gnome live happily ever after.

Episode length: 44:44.

My son was born in December, 1996. When he was very little, I wrote a few songs for him and decided to make a cassette recording that would help him sleep better at night. Those tracks are Evyatar, Boogadoo, What a Kid and Don't Say No. I also added to the cassette some tracks I wrote back in the late 80's about childhood. Those are Embryo, Birth and All of the Children. Those three tracks are part of a concept album I never finished, depicting life, from the womb to death. All of the Children also had some lyrics that I rerecorded, so it's the only track with singing. Song With A Feather is a track I wrote when I was a child, at the age of 13. Curiosity was added because I was thinking for a while of releasing this as a commercial release, and I needed a single.

In 1989 I wrote an untitled musical piece that later became Nightfall 5.

In 1997, when I came back to writing music, I decided to take those two pieces as the base for a longer five part piece, and that is what you're going to hear today.

The Multi Timbral Sessions - Part 1, Do.

Track listing:

1. Do

Episode length: 55:19.

In 1992 I purchased a multi timbral synthesizer and a sequencer. A multi timbral synthesizer can play several parts at once. You do that by playing the parts into the sequencer, adding another part each time. This way, I was able to play up to 9 parts at once. On the Multi Timbral Sessions I'll be playing you the music I wrote between 1996 and 2001.

Can you write a book using only one letter? Can you write a symphony with only a single note? That is what I'm finding out in Do, a highly minimal musical piece. This was one of the first pieces I wrote on the multi timbral synthesizer and it uses the "Do" note exclusively.
