Dial-a-Mood!

 

 

Alex Shapiro

 

Welcome to Alex's original Dial-a-Mood!
(hey, a composer's got to have
a sense of humor!).



It's a way to explore new music
by emotion,
as well as
by the more traditional catalog.
And isn't emotion
what music is all about?



Click on the MP3 icon
to hear an excerpt of a piece.
Groovy.
Almost as interactive as the composer.
