Christopher Dylan Bailey

composer

I have just released a new album of piano music, featuring my works Balladei and Sonata, fantastically performed by Shiau-Uen Ding, and Jacob Rhodebeck. You can purchase it here. The interface to Sand, should be working. Try it out. The old .mp3s and essay writings are all still there. I was part of a competition in Korea, and was asked to talk about my work Timelash, (an old recording. . . the piece has been revised since); that talk is now online. My recent work The Quiet Play of Busy Pipes was performed by the fabulous NeXT Ens, whose website is much cooler-looking than mine. (I'm a lazy programmer). I also recently finished a piece for German virtuoso guitarist Carsten Radtke (and recorded electronics), who has a cool website as well. The Electric Music Collective has released two albums, Incandescence, which features my works Ow, My Head and Duude, (purchase it here), and Defiant, which features my works Ooogaah: Dungeony Specimen Spaceship, and Conceptual Study, and is also available for purchase from Amazon.com. Try my web-based app with which one may write a score in any tuning system, and the app will spit out a Standard MIDI File. Check it out here. For a class I taught in post-romantic harmony, I made this little tool that generates canons in 2-6 voices, by transposition and/or inversion, based on a theme you give, and following harmonic rules that you can specify. Read about and use it here. Also, while you're stopping by, please check out: a list of my compositions , MP3's of many of which are downloadable from this page; tutorials on computer-music and basic music (compositional) topics; and some advice for the new-music-listener novice.

Older stuff: (Some general stuff here, but mostly specific to courses I co-taught at the Columbia Computer Music Center and at (CCM)2. This stuff was written in 1997-9, and so, as one might expect with technology-related documentation, it's all completely out-of-date, especially with regard to not including the latest aspects of RTCMIX (version 4). Hopefully, you can get some general principles out of it, as well as get a sense of my teaching style. I am planning to re-write most of these in the near future.
