Totally normal holiday. Anyway, this is a piece I wrote to help me think about all that while I was writing it; not exactly a straight illustration of the ceremony, but evocative. The real ceremony would go through 29 cycles and last...2023-05-2425 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudTrain to DenaliScore and parts available from http://www.gustholdmusic.com/
Wheels hammer lopsided rhythms down the track, repetitive yet evolving. Nnatural wonders parade by: wandering streams, shocks of birch and aspen, bear and moose under sprawling gray skies. We watch round every bend, as any moment it might peek through, a monstrous wave struck by a magic harpoon, frozen, cresting forever over the lonely tundra: Denali, the ‘Great One.’
Inspired by a train ride in Alaska. Somehow repetitive and exciting at the same time. 11/8 (3/8+3/8+3/8+2/8) time signature. Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfBC5i06xxE2020-03-2408 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudLament For Cello And Female VoiceA sad, poignant song. Seems like it would be at home in a requiem. (I was probably thinking of Faure's Requiem some.)
Created for the Composer Challenge: Dice roll melody challenge. Melodic notes are only E, F, G, Ab, and Bb. There isn't a key in this so much as a tonal center around Bb. The scale would be something like sharp 4+flat 7. All the chords are built from stacks of perfect fifths.
Cello is Cinesamles Tina Guo Legato Cello. Soprano is from EastWest's Voices of Opera. The text is just random words. The rest of the orchestra is French...2020-02-0904 min
Eli Evans SoundcloudBook Of EnochThe Unseen Realm (https://faithlifetv.com/the-unseen-realm) is a 2019 documentary film adaptation of the book by the same name. It covers biblical topics from a fresh angle. Parts of this track appear in the original score I wrote for the film.

Eli Evans SoundcloudShades (Throwback)This is the first track off of the first cassette tape I ever compiled, for my mom, back in 1992. I made it on a Yamaha PSR-500 keyboard that I bought with my summer job money. I'm not holding up as something great, just something that I did when I was really young.

Eli Evans SoundcloudCCP 30 - Sun - Solar ProminenceMay 2019 Composer Club 30-second challenge: Sun. I decided to imagine a documentary about the sun, where we cut away from the narration for a short moment and watch a gigantic solar flare erupt into space. The text is "helios" (Greek for "sun") and
ο ήλιος λάμπει λαμπρά ho helios lampei lampra, "the sun shines brightly". The last word is "phos," LIGHT.
Made with FL Studio 20, EastWest Hollywood Orchestra, and a few woodwind sounds from Spitfire Audio Studio Woodwinds.2019-05-1200 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudLooks Like Sun To MeProbably the popiest thing I've ever made.

I say: As long as we're together.
And you say: It looks like sun to me.2019-02-1003 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudDead Man WalkingImagine a condemned man bitterly explaining to the person who is interviewing him just before his execution how nobody, even the interviewer, really cares if he is guilty or innocent, or whether he ends up in Heaven or Hell once he's dead.
I started playing around with some polyrhythmic drum lines, and it ended up sounding like an old-timey rootsy blues rhythm (natch), so I went with it. The time signature is 15/4, because that's where the periods of all the drums align. The entire piece sticks on one chord, Bm7. Blues is not my area, FWIW. This is an old...2019-01-1502 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudReintegration - Duet for 2 FlutesA loved one had a major mental health break, got some better medicine, and started back on a path to recovery. I wrote this in the middle of it all. Comes in three sections: 1) a little off; 2) increasingly manic; 3) reintegration.
Duet for two flutes, in Bb major.

Eli Evans SoundcloudDesert CityAn uptempo "middle eastern" (or central asian?) -style track that I made to try out a sound library. Ends up being an intense chase-scene sort of thing. (If you use it in your project, drop me a message.)2018-11-0401 min
Eli Evans SoundcloudCourderoy Sideburns (International Man of Mysteriousness)Was asked to make a theme for a "spy-themed adventure series for ages 5-8". This one didn't make the cut, because it was too "corduroy pants and long sideburns." I think that would be a pretty cool character name, though, "Courderoy Sideburns." (And yes, I know it's spelled wrong. That's part of the fun.) So now you can imagine the retro cartoon series this might be the theme for.2018-11-0400 min

Eli Evans SoundcloudKaoskampfFrom the archives: This is not a heavy metal track, but it's what came out when my brother suggested I should make a heavy metal track. It's in 5/4 time, which is just one of several reasons why it seems "off." "Kaoskampf" is a misspelling of "chaoskampf" which is German for "battle against chaos". Enjoy.2018-08-0202 min
Eli Evans SoundcloudThunderbikeTrack I made in 2007. I took a quote from Ronald Reagan, "Government is not the solution to our problems; government IS the problem" and chopped out sibilant and plosive sounds to make drums, voiced sounds to make instruments ("doo-wap," "problem", "gump") and took the word government and reversed it, which sounded to me like "thunderBIKE" and that's where the name of song comes from. It's one part beatboxing, one part scratch, and 100% weird fun. Why Reagan? Is it satire or support or both? Or is it just because that audio was available and worked well for my purposes? The world...2018-07-2802 min
