Recordings

I made a very weird recording to audition for a "gloomy" group. See my private Web page.

Two ancient audition recordings:

"Nina" by Legrenzio Vincenzo Ciampi (but often attributed to Pergolesi) from his comic opera "Gli tre cicisbei ridicoli," which premiered at the King's Theatre, London, 1748 (AIFF format, 16,861,042 bytes).
"Countin' Flowers on the Wall" by Lewis DeWitt, Statler Brothers, 1966 (AIFF format, 12,949,222 bytes).

I intend to work up a number of licensed and expired-copyright compositions, solo and multitrack, to post on the Internet Archive. Here's a quick prototype, but not sufficiently musical: looping of a catch.
