Hi

As I was short of inspiration, I came up with the idea of paying tribute to my metronome. I hope you enjoy it. It's not too long, and I think the finale is great! You be the judge. Enjoy and don't hesitate to leave me a comment. I'll pass it on to my metronome.

THIS IS TERRIFIC, PAUL! Ha, and the comments are also a funny. What incredible precision, what feeling, what techniqe. What can I say? I'd never be able to keep up with that one. It's definitely worth another listen.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dear Elliott,
No! It's not funny at all. It's a very e-serious piece that took me a long time to compose. I took particular care with the last cymbal stroke. Also to break a certain, let's say, metronomic cadence and stay on a positive, upbeat note. That said, my metronome really appreciated the commentary, as he's a happy machine by nature. Thanks

Hi Thomas,
I understand your frustration. I'll be honest, I didn't use BIAB for this piece. I'm really sorry about that. Besides, I'm not sure that BIAB's musicians have the musicality to achieve this result. I may organize a master class during which I'll explain the main principles of time slicing and their application to music. I'll be sure to send out invitations. Thanks for the compliments. I'll pass it on to the metronome

Hello Alan,
You're absolutely right! I hesitated for a long time between a crash and a cymbal ride, the latter being much softer to end this opus.
One day, I'll certainly do a longer version and integrate other elements like the sound of the tuning fork (sublime and delicate...). But that won't be for a long time yet, as it will require a lot of time and energy. Thanks for your encouragement

Dear Marty,
Yes, the precision, the feeling, the technique, it's all there. I think it's one of my major works, in all modesty. It's so beautiful that I listen to it over and over in the car. Not at home, though, because my wife threatens to leave me if I listen to it again! I'm thinking of doing a longer version, with orchestra. So, a concerto for metronome and orchestra. It's a subject I'm seriously considering. Thanks in any case for your comments, which encourage me to continue along this path.

Paul, I would have liked to listen to this but there is a constant ticking going on in my system. I'll give a listen after I find my problem whistle

Not only is this hilarious it is also extremely clever - brilliant!


My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.
