New song: Thumos
Well, it was about time I added something to this website – I’ve been so busy at work that my free time has been limited to making a website that is work-related (I will unveil it to the world if I get permission from Loyens & Loeff – although it’s clearly my creation, it would go against the code of conduct to publish it without obtaining permission) and to weekends.
I have been working on what was meant to be a concerto-like orchestral piece, with a piano melody as centrepiece, but the music evolved away from the orchestral setting.
I therefore present to you Thumos, the latest creation of the Peter Craddock music factory.
In other news, I have finally taken the opportunity to put all of my music in Creative Commons. The current licence is “Creative Commons by-nc-nd“, which means that you are free to download/distribute/copy the music, subject to the following conditions (to quote the CC website):
Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

Therefore, download away.
New song: Rift
The latest to join Peter’s collection of recorded nonsense is Rift, a dark yet jaunty piece of music (if such a combination is at all possible).
Listen at your own risk.
New composition: “River Song”
Two weeks to go before I begin work as a lawyer, and here’s another little something I have to share… another composition!
It’s classical/contemporary/whatever you choose as a classification, so if you like compositions like “Nuit”, why not listen to River Song?
Three new songs
I’m currently in Brussels, for interviews with law firms, and this was the perfect occasion for me to… record music! Indeed, during my stay in London so far, I have been somewhat productive in musical terms, and it was about time I recorded a few of these pieces.
As such, I invite you to take a look at the music page, or to view the relevant pages directly:
ARPIA2 update, and yet another new song
Update time: ARPIA2.1.1 fixes a number of bugs and adds a couple of mini-features (almost invisible, but pleasant nonetheless), and includes long overdue updates to the in-game music (especially “Adieu”). Download the updated version from the ARPIA2 page.
New song & new music interface
I’ve been somewhat creative these past weeks, and so I have a couple of musical compositions coming along.
Here’s the first of them, Out There (comments more than welcome).
Additionally, I’ve fully set up KavaTunes (thank you MacHeist), and so it is now possible to listen to my compositions from an iTunes-like web interface: visit Peter’s KavaTunes page.
All about jazz
Today, I decided to finally record something that has been in my piano keyboard’s memory for nearly a month, a jazz/blues song (depends on what you consider to be jazz and blues, I guess, given that the two concepts are understood differently by everyone).
So, there we go, Thing-a-Ding can now be added to you list of most awesome or worst compositions ever. Your choice.
Two new songs
Sometimes, I sit in front of the piano and start playing random stuff, and every now and again, something strikes me as having potential.
Some of these songs are created and then set aside because I no longer like them, while others are forgotten.
And some are recorded.
As a result, there are two new songs in the “Music” section: Far From The Homeland, and Nuit.
Listen to them and let me know what you think.
