Music books so far

So, how far am I now with my music book collection? This month I finished up my clarinet book. It's not possible (really) to organize chronologically, so it is done by ensemble size. Like this:

solo clarinet.
clarinet and another instrument.
clarinet and string quartet
clarinet and wind ensemble.

Some of these pieces were written pre- computer-music-software days; I had to type these pieces in.
Specifically, the piece for solo clarinet.

Next month, I release my book of songs, and then my works for guitar.

Acoustic music

As I organize my acoustic music into volumes, I have again started writing a few short pieces, but I find it difficult to finish anything. It might be that I need a goal in order to do this; for example, I finished a set of vocal pieces for Colin Bell on his Fibonacci poetry. There was a goal with this set, certainly. The words of the poem gave me the ideas to create a specific pattern. However, I would like to write a piece for flute and piano, but I cannot make it work - at least, not yet. Writing electronic pieces I can do.

Sound Sculpture

I have been working on music and sound for "virtual" sculptures, all in Second Life. It's been quite exciting, mainly due to specific barriers to music production inside the world. 1) Samples are limited to 10 seconds. 2) Manipulation of the sound itself (pitch, length, etc) must be done outside Second Life; samples can only be played in-world. 3) As a rule, a sound can be triggered by a script in the sculpture, but they can't be "stacked", ie you can't play the sound, then play another sound over it to make harmony - the first sound will stop. 4) It's fine to loop sounds, but it starts to sound like a broken record. More later.
