Sambaman (Bank Street Music Writer
demo by Glan Clancy)
This is a direct recording from
an AE Phasor card plugged into an Apple IIe, working as a Mockingboard
compatible. It's a very catchy and harmonic tune, kind of funky
in it's squarewave tonal quality...(recording courtesy of Mitchell
Spector)

I recently received an email from Glen
Clancy who not only composed
Sambaman, but also wrote the Bank Street Music Writer, he had this to
say about the song:
"Sambaman was actually written as a full-blown test of the editor functions
in BSMW. If you listen closely or watch the notes as they play in the
product, you will see nested repeats, musical phrases that appear in
different voices at different times, transpositions of musical phrases,
repetition, etc. The idea was to enter as few notes as possible, and
with the editor functions, such as copy, transpose, and paste, create
a complex and sophisticated piece of music. The song stands as a testament
to the fact that all the editor functions in the program work."
Geometry For Lovers (J.Warden / S.Williams)
A full-length CD of Apple II music; Mathematically
oriented compositions by J.Warden, interpreted by yours truly
and the magic of TimeLord. The music itself is a curious hybrid
of lo-fi industrial and jazz/fusion, and has been described by several
listeners as "interesting"... all 20 tracks are freely
available in a variety of audio formats from our friends at archive.org.
