Accordion Music

Improvised accordion music. Just some unedited practice sessions. I started on this path in 2010, so don't expect anything polished. But I think some parts are nice to listen to if you are in the mood for this kind of music.

Mixed in with the improvisations are three or four compositions that I am working on, most notably the "Reedy Creek Waltz", copyright © 2010.

The accordion is an IORIO Symphonic Grand with H+M+L treble reeds and 5 sets of bass reeds. It originally contained an electronic interface, so it had an extra register stop on both sides to turn off the accoustic sounds from that side. By modifying this now useless 4th bass stop, and also the 3rd, I was able to modify the bass machine to produce four new combinations in addition to the original three. The reed combination selected by the 3rd or 4th stop now depends on which other stop was pressed immediately before it.
