• Opus 10 (Fall 2008-Spring 2009): GRegor-op10.ogg (MP3)
  The piano score for Opus 10 is available: GRegor-op10.pdf (small)

• Opus 9 (Winter 2008): GRegor-op9.mid
  (Also known as Variations on Themes Inexplicably Stuck in my Head)
  Please note that Opus 9 is in MIDI format, since it's for an ensemble I cannot assemble. On most computers, it will sound fairly horrible ... if some intrepid but unwise trio wants to record it and send me a .ogg, that would be fantastic ;)
  
  The original score is available as well, in Rosegarden format and in PDFs: GRegor-op9.rg, Conductor's score, Violin, Viola, Cello
  
  If you have a particularly bad set of MIDI instruments, you can download a prerendered version created with some other particularly bad set of MIDI instruments: GRegor-op9.ogg
  
  
• Opus 8 (Winter 2006): GRegor-op8.ogg
  • I thought the end of this would sound nice on an organ, so I tried it. It's not bad, but I still prefer the pianoforte. GRegor-op8-organ.ogg
• In Fall of 2005 and Spring of 2006 I wrote a few pieces ostensively for a game:
  • Mermen's Plight: Mermens_Plight.ogg
  • Friends and Relatives: Friends_and_Relatives.ogg
  • Elvish Aid: Elvish_Aid.ogg
• Opus 7 (Summer 2004): GRegor-op7.ogg
• Opus 6 (Circa Late 2003/Early 2004): GRegor-op6.ogg
• Opus 5 (Circa Summer 2003): GRegor-op5.ogg

(I will not post Opus 4 and earlier ... Opus 4 and 3 are terrible, and Opus 2 and 1 are lost and terrible.)

Opus 8 and later were all created on digital pianos. I have used my previous Yamaha DGX-505, my current Behringer, and the Steinway piano soundfonts available at http://www.pianosounds.com/freesoundfont.htm and ftp://musix.ourproject.org/pub/musix/sf2/Steinway_IMIS2.2/ to produce recordings. With Opus 12 and later I will endeavor to produce "digital piano rolls", MIDIs of the raw data of my real playing of the piece, as well as recordings in FLAC, OGG and MP3 formats, plus musical notation.

Tools I use include my hands, a digital piano (currently a Behringer), GNU/Linux (presently sidux which is based on the excellent Debian), Rosegarden, Lilypond, Fluidsynth, midicomp (for MIDI extraction and debugging) and my own chgvel (for increasing the velocity of notes in midicomp-extracted MIDIs, since my Behringer's output has very low velocities) and depedal (for removing the pedal from MIDIs, which makes them suitable for e.g. the Music Animation Machine).
