about

Doug Michael is a composer/guitarist who, in 1996, completed his music degree at San Jose State University, enrolled in the Electro-Acoustic Music program under the direction of Allen Strange. He has studied composition with Dr. Brian Belet, Daniel Wyman, Dr. Aldag and guitar with Ted Greene. Doug has won various composition awards and his music has been performed at many music festivals throughout the world, most notably the 1996 International Computer Music Conference in Hong Kong and The Novum Events in Dresden, Germany. Doug's composition "Radio Sky Part II" has just been released on the Frog Peak Music CD entitled "The Frog Peak Collaborations Project."

In addition, Doug has been heavily involved in composing instrumental music that has influences from Rock, Jazz, Progressive, Psychedelic, and Ambient genres. His music also appeared on Gajoob magazines' first compilation CD entitled "The Smell of Success." Since 1989 Doug Michael's solo project "The Outer Darkness" has released five cassette albums and enjoys radio airplay on progressive rock shows like "The Progressive Underground" out of Vermont, The "Gagliarchives" Show in New Jersey, and "The Musical Transportation Spree" in Minneapolis, to name a few. 1997 marks the beginning of Doug's record company "Angular Momentum CD's." By the end of 1998, Angular Momentum should have it's first Outer Darkness CD completed and released with many more to follow.

Helix is the third and last movement of my composition entitled "Clarinet for One." This solo clarinet piece was initially inspired by the Edgar Varese piece "Density 21.5." Helix is based on a strict twelve-tone construct and utilizes a digital delay system which loops the music at two second intervals. When the loop captures all twelve notes of the chromatic scale the player reroutes the signal path so the twelve note loop continues independently. At this point a harmonizer set to a minor third is used in conjunction with the player's natural clarinet sound. The Clarinetist then performs over the continuing loop.
