Alex Kotch Music

I'm currently working on an album that I'll most likely record, produce, and perform myself, with the help of a few friends. It's a synthesis of my classical training and pop interests. All the tracks will fuse styles together with the ultimate goal of danceable, composed music. Most of the tunes could fall under the house or techno genre. Here are some MIDI files of a few tunes I've come up with. Sorry for the 'skips' in the MIDI; I'll blame it on my computer.


blues     this is essentially a 12-bar blues for in 7/8 time, scored for clarinet, tenor sax, bass clarinet, electric bass, and beats

nameless, November 2007     here i tried to mix a sense of hipster experimental rock with my own minimalist leanings; for clarinet, tenor sax, bass clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and beats

hockethouse     this one is inspired by Louis Andriessen and consists of phased melodic lines; for tenor sax, piano, bass, and beats

funky13     this begins as a funk tune in 13/4 time and quickly turns into house music based on the funk riff; for alto sax, piano, bass, and beats

can you dance to this?     a 25-note riff repeats on and on...for clarinet, sax, piano, and of course some beats
