This is a piece I played at my senior recital 20 years ago. Debussy’s Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum from The Children’s Corner 1908

Ten for Ben
Learning these ten variations from Bach’s Goldberg Variations was inspired by my friend Ben LaMontagne. We listened to them together and marveled at their beauty. After Ben died I became more and more determined to learn them. I went to my magnificent teacher who helped me learn the intricacies of playing Bach on the modern piano. Now after many years this is my second try out of the studio.
One more dance
I should mention that this Allemande belongs with the recently posted Gigue. They make up the first and last movements of Bach’s 5th French Suite.
Let’s keep the dancing going
From Gigues to a Courante. This is from Bach’s 1st Partita.

Please enjoy this Gigue from Bach’s 5th French Suite
Hymn
I wrote this piece for my friend Ben LaMontagne.
Carousel
Well here goes…..
I recorded this piece on an electric keyboard with Pro Tools on my laptop. This take was worth sharing while we wait for the real deal from Acadia Recording Company. They actually know how to use Pro Tools correctly! Hopefully we will eventually see a version recorded on a real piano.
Off To The Island
This is an earlier effort of putting my own music to images. Talk about a learning curve! LOL. This was put together a while ago, but I thought I’d share while I’m working on recording new material. The audio is from a Roland FP-4 via my own home version of Pro Tools, no edits! In my operation of that program it would be too dangerous to touch anything lest I totally crash – in every sense of the word. The images are a mix of GoPro’s Hero Cam and photos by a talented friend. Being in a beautiful place really helps too!
Thanks to whoever is in charge of the grand cosmos because the AWESOME Acadia Recording Company is helping me out and taking care of that end of things going forward. After one more Golden oldie release (some might say it should be catch and don’t release) we will be on a much better wavelength if you catch my drift! Besides, I have no time for engineering and I’m already pretty sure I’ll never master anything. I am too busy trying to learn how to play the piano.
Welcome
Hello and Welcome to Neil Tyson Music.
I have created this site to be a platform for my music. Rather than wait FOREVER until EVERYTHING is finished I will be blogging and releasing as I go! I hope to have the first releases soon. One of the places on this site will be Listen Anytime.
On this page one can listen to any of the selections of my music anytime. Later down the road original work will also be available for sale. When I can figure a few more things out I will offer scores for viewing as well. For those interested in the piano I will have posts having to do with the care construction and nature of this beautiful instrument. A 1928 Steinway and Sons model A grand piano is my partner. It is unusual to have an older instrument with such a live board but luck was in the stars!
Here is a picture outside our house recently. It’s tough living in uglyville!
