Mode Z Music gets its name from the only musical piece in this mode, the brief “Quartet in Mode Z” for flute, clarinet, cello and piano, composed in 1977 by James Medary Cooper. Click here to listen.
Unlike other modes, Mode Z distinguishes itself by the lack, rather than the presence, of musical rules. Otherwise, the musical characteristics which define Mode Z may be more easily described if more pieces in this mode were to be composed.
In the meantime, while there is only one piece in Mode Z, Mode Z Music plan to offer a steadily increasing number of works in a wide variety of musical styles.
At this point in time this site is featuring audio recordings, rough or more polished, to demonstrate the musical compositions being presented.
