Album Description
Including an atonal tango, a fantasy on Latvian folk-songs, a meditation with electric guitar, a serenade for string quartet, and a fascinating, mind-bogglingly silly set of computer variations on Paganinni's 24th Caprice, this is Tom Bopp as you've never heard him.  All the music is realized on a Kurzwiel electronic keyboard, with a musical palate ranging from orchestral to synthesized.  Excellent sound, heartfelt and thoughtful music for the adventurous ear.

Compositions 1980 - 1997

From the Artist
 You can think of these as "scores without films."  This CD compiles the best of my own musical works since they released me from the UCLA music department (with a B.A. in theory and composition).  I'm making these discs to order out of my own studio.
