Harmonic Whirlies Debut – The Angels are Coming

The Angels are Coming rehearsal

Who knew you could make such beautiful sounds from plastic pipes? Turns out all you need are some specially designed flexible PVC pipes and you've got harmonic whirlies!

About a year ago, I went to a drumming camp with my dad and we started talking to one of the guys (his name was Wayne) there about my idea for a show that involves visual effects. Being inspired by a flexible PVC tube I brought back from the tip shop one day, I told him that I was interested in figuring out how to make tuned,

First Composition Sold!

Mansfield State High School Performs Junglemania

I've sold my first composition!!!!

I recently added a new section to the website to sell my compositions and, with the help of my dad Gal Baras (check out his website), I'm really happy with the end product and it's working too!

Not too soon after I finished adding everything I got a message from one of my friend's private students who was looking for a piece to play at his school's percussion soiree. I was really glad that he was interested

Paint Drumming

So, Music at Mac was an especially amazing event at the end of last year and definitely one of the best concerts to leave school with. Mac-Cussion, which you would have seen in the earlier videos, had somewhat of a feature that night and put on a really great show.

The video below is of the 3 seniors of the percussion program: Me (Tsoof Baras), Jamee Seeto and Eve Reynolds. It's

Singing Goodbye to our music teachers

At the end of every school year, MacGregor State High School puts on a showcase of all the school’s instrumental and vocal ensembles. It’s a brilliant event that shows off beautifully what all of us can do. ‘Music at Mac’ (as it is so wonderfully named) this year was a really great thing to be a part of. As I was a student who participated in all but the junior bands and the string program, I was busy the whole night performing as well as organising this year’s seniors to put on a show for the

New Acoustic Guitar Composition: Nostalgia

Yo!

The end is nigh. Coming to the end of school has become a very challenging time for me and it's been a sort of muse for all my compositions and performances.

Not long ago, I started writing a guitar duet and … now for all to see, it is finished! :) It's called 'Nostalgia' and is a rock/blues/folk fusion piece. It's a discussion of two guitars on the history of guitar music/genres/styles.

It's open to interpretation, so feel free to place this into your own life and write

Suffocation Live at MEX Recital

Hello all,

This is a video of my performance of 'Suffocation' at my Music extension class recital.

I wrote it in memory of my cousin Guy, who died in a motorcycle accident.

It is a very metaphorical piece in the way it's composed, so keep an eye out for all the hidden stuff ;)

If you want a deeper insight to the who, what, when, where and why, scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the recording and description from a few months ago.

It was really great to finally
