40 years of composition — cataloging and uploading my repertoire

One of my intentions for 2013 has been to comb the archives of all my compositions over the last 40 years, information pills select those that I believe should be included in my official “repertoire, prostate ” remaster those, cialis 40mg and then make them available online. I’m happy to say that I’ve completed most of these steps and am starting to link the final versions to my web site (www.thomblum.com).

Some of the oldest pieces, from the 1970s, were created with magnetic (reel-to-reel) tape and require restoration and digitizing, but they too are coming along.

I will be experimenting by making all of my music available, first, using SoundCloud and other similar venues (for example, Bandcamp). As I do so I will post here to let you know where to find and play it. I hope you enjoy the results.
