The Cheesy Music of
Michael Rubinstein.
I don't think much of these compositions.
However, a few
people have suggested that I put them up, so here they are.
These are all sequenced on a computer
using primitive methods by an amateur. There's little soul in any of these
renditions.

The pieces below were created in 94-95 while I was a student.
They were stored on an analog cassette. The sound
quality is pretty poor.
Here are the pieces:
This piece is kind of jumpy.

late one night in 1995.

A neurotic piano piece. I never finished
it.

A piece in ABA form with a lousy transition back to A.

I wrote this in order to learn how
to use a sequencer.

The first electronic composition I wrote, using Lansky's RT.
It's in three parts. The first uses the sounds of New
Jersey transit at Princeton Junction. The middle part
uses a sampled monkey and some train sounds.
The last part, which sounds
a bit like a mechanical Kurt Weil, uses two sampled sounds-
a chainsaw, and a piece of metal.
The original digital version had much more presence.
Alas, all I could find was the molded analog tape.
