The Music of Bonnie Bogovich...
......recent music tech compositions...

...................................................................................................................

• Evenings in Quarantine: The Zombie Opera updated - I am writing a crazy opera about "friendship and zombies" with my colleague Elizabeth Rishel. Live performance to premiere October 15-17 and 21-23rd, 2010
• "SleepTalkers": a 48 Hour Film Project coming soon - I was sound/boom and the music composer for our team's entry (Everything But The Name Productions) for the Pittsburgh 48 Hour Film Project - summer 2010
• CyberCadets: the MySecureCyberSpace Game updated - More levels, more puzzles, and that means more music! I am once again composing background beats for the cyber safety game - Fall 2009 - Summer 2010
• Journey Below - the Krone team submitted one of our production tracks, "Journey Below" (on which I sang as part of the choir and did the choral arranging) to the ProgpowerUSA sampler CD judges, and we've been accepted. Look for our track on this year's compilation - 08/25/07
• CyberCadets: the MySecureCyberSpace Game - I've been composing background music for an upcoming educational video game "...boys and girls enter the Carnegie Cyber Academy to have fun and earn prizes while they learn about the dangers caused by Internet viruses and battle cyber criminals..." - 07/30/07
• Sugar Substitution - voices/word experiment based on lyrics written a few years ago - an ode to artificial sweeteners and other such fake foods - 06/15/07
• Krone - I am currently helping with an epic/progressive rock opera, singing soprano 2 as part of the women's choir and Morrigan character, in addition to backing vocals/choral arranger - check the website for updates - 05/01/07
• A Cat Caricature - I was teaching a demo on music concrete and came up with this little experiment - journey into a cat's dreams - this work is made entirely of cat sound effects, with a tidbit of drumbeat for support - 10/28/05
• Submerged - Little diddy I came up with as part of tour day in the Duq Music Technology department, showing off what GarageBand can do. I tried to give each part enough time to develop, washing the listener in waves of sound, submersing them in the mixture - 6/26/05
• Pop Quiz Funk - continuing with the chase themes in Soundtrack, here I give a stab at some brass, guitar, and cinimatic funk, again with the string riffs, I just can't put 'em down:) The end result gives more of a credit or title feel than a chase sequence, but still I'm pleased - 6/18/05
• Techno String Chase Remix - a little mixture I invented while playing with Soundtrack... I was exploring different ideas for a chase background sequence, mixing acoustic instruments with beats, and ended up with somthing quite similar to Bourne Identity with just a hint of video game - 5/24/05
• 5 New Live Recordings - click on the link to view 4 new peices on my concerts page (Cusswords, Fire, Marlo's Theme, Verbum Supernum Prodiens, and Vox Layers 3.0)
• Tempus Suavitum Fluebat - a cinematic sythesizer arrangement based on three moods and two rhythms... "time was sweetly flowing" - 5/16/04
• Entire Cities Built... - samples of my work were used by NYARLATHOTEP as part of a compilation of audio sculptures, mutated songs, and incidental music complementary to Caitlin R. Kiernan's new novel, Low Red Moon - in progress
• Bell Dandy - acoustic and techno mixture, spy game theme - 5/10/04
• Gamer Geek Tromp aka "Slap that Atari, Make it Free!" - tribute to my old Atari gaming system, and other oldskool systems.. a piece for those who love the sound of arpeggiators and noise - 1/09/04
• Sushi? There Is None - (cd label) a composition created entirely out of vocal sounds and dialogue. we follow this mental musical into the mind of Liz Rishel, seeking sushi to an almost insane degree. Dante Marra provides lip trills for the drums and rhythm, while my own voice is programmed into a sample keyboard to provide the 'organ' and 'nunn' key sections. We hope you enjoy this complex combination of speach and sound - 11/15/03
• "...and then I Heard the Whales Crying.."- following the footsteps of The Bird Machine, here is the latest in my music concrete experiments, this time using some old recordins of whales, rain, and dolphins. Seeking out actual natural music motifs in nature, including what sounds eerily like a piano submerged, this was the result - 11/15/03
• a very Gothy Christmas - a fun experiment in bells, synth organ, vocal pathes, and minimalism (plus a funky Bjorkish beat) Hope you enjoy this arrangement of my mind's version of a gothy christmas - 11/11/03
• Tintinabulations - duet for frustrated MalletKAT (synth mallets) and marimba, based on the frustraded theme I wrote a while back... this is a fast-paced display of aggression and skill, hope you enjoy; written to be performed by Brad and Bill spring 2004 - 10/28/03
• "the Bird Machine" - (cd label) the first in my newest series of music concrete (sound effect) projects. This is the story of a crow that flies into a factory, only to realize that he is a product of technology, and therefore destroys the machine that created him...- 9/29/03
