I really don't have much of an ear for music (I only barely have one working ear at all 8V), but this does sound pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you so much!

this is the most beautifle piece ever.
if i was a conductor for a string instrument group
i would use this in the show.

Yeah, me too.

I doubt I'll ever hear it played live, but it's a beautiful piece from a synthesizer, nonetheless.

can you turn it into a band (like full band w/t strings) piece.

Hrm. Maybe.

What kind of instruments are you thinking of?

percussion, trumpet, tuba, euphonium, trombone, frech horn, flute,
clarinet, saxophone, alto/barritone sax, bassoon, and possibly oboe.

So... full concert band, then? Hrm....

Only maybe.

I'm not great at orchestration yet.

Instead, I'll try writing a different piece of music that has a full band. Would that work?

sure, i'm in concert band so i could possibly help you with it.

i think this song would sound good with two viol de gambe

You're right. That instrument would be perfect for this song.

Thanks!

Very nice, and very relaxing - definitely a break from all the trance in the music section (and that's only on my mind because somebody commented the same to me!)

*blush* Thank you.

I write different music than most of the people here. Blame a weird background.

Then again, from what I've heard of your stuff... so do you.

I suppose electronic orchestral and electronic metal are both rather rare and difficult to do because of those genres usually relying on instruments actually being played - I somehow reached my style through picking up Modplug Tracker rather than learning the guitar for real, but I'm slowly trying to learn the real thing now as well!

People tend to be split on my music because of its unnatural computery sound - the string effect you're using here is obviously electronic too, but it has a pleasant sound to it.

Yeah -- I wish that I had a full orchestra, a full rock band, and a bunch of other musicians lying around to play my music... until I get rich, I'm stuck with electronic musicians.

And definitely learn the guitar. It's a very versatile instrument; many composers use it instead of a piano for writing music. I have a classical guitar that I should play more often.

I can teach you guitar if you wish. Some basis. Note me if you want.

Very relaxing!
I'd love to read your analysis on it! Do you think you'll break through tonal next?

Hrm. I'm not sure.

I have a lot of things that I consider within tonal theory that I want to work on. In particular, I need to work on larger-scale dissonance and resolution.

And even though I'm staying within tonal theory, I -still- want to figure out enough about microtonal music to use pure sevenths in some pieces.

You know more than I do about tonal and nontonal music. Where should I be looking?

If you're looking for larger-scale dissonance and resolution, try chromatic harmony (also known as polymodal chromaticism)...
I was taught that if you combine certain scales together, you can use all twelve tones in a scale and still resolve your chords! There's a good example on Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymo.....l_chromaticism
Have a look and tell me what you think...

Holy crap.

That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for in my music. Literally.

How literally? The scale C-Eb-E-G-Ab-B-C shows up in Touring Churches, starting around 1:36.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for giving me pointers to what I'm looking for!

*HUUUUUUUUG!*

No problem, always happy to help!!!

I wrote the analysis, and put it in scraps.

It's kinda nice!
When I played Vivaldi pieces, I had to understand that kind of music and there is some interresting things.

The tremollo and harpeges got turned well as well as for the continuity of the music.

The bad point: something in that kind of song, in most of them at least, doesn't finish in a continuous song. It's more of an unique and short one to say "hey. That's the end dude \o/".


I liked it. Thanks.

*blush* The tremollo was created automatically by my (far too intelligent) music program.

If you felt that it ended too abruptly, could you give me any suggestions on how to end it better?

No. It didn't end abruptly. That's the problem. If you end something with a continuous song (like you did!), that means there will be another part or a "retake" of the entire piece. Or this is the true end. It "must" be abrupt!

Okay. So, next time that I write something like this, I should end with a quarter note instead of a whole note?

Wow...that was beautiful! Better even than the "trance" clip I recently commented on! Great job, Chip =0)

Thank you. I'm incredibly proud of this piece.

Chip, it's darn lovely. Really really beautiful.

For some reason though, it feels like it's ending on a subdominant chord. Could you maybe turn it into a plagal cadence and add the I?

Hrm. It feels that it's ending on the subdominant because except in the first measure, I never establish the initial key.

If I add a plagal cadence to the final key, do you think that would help?

Quote of the day about this piece:

What measure of 'beautiful' are you using here? I find no beauty there.

-- <a href="http://maus-merryjest.livejournal.c.....yjest</a>;

Reading the comments I think that's a load of shit, to be perfectly frank. I truly wasn't aware that our music technology allowed synthesized music to be at this level of quality. I find beauty in both harmony and dissonance, although dissonance is not in this piece the harmony itself is a thing of beauty for my ears.

I also certainly enjoy the electronic music a good deal of the time, but it does seem really overbearing on FA. I'm glad I can stick to my piano pieces.

You are extremely kind. Thank you, Tegami.

Now THAT was fascinating!

Thank you!

Apple's Logic Pro. Very nice instruments, aren't they?

enjoyed this, chipuni! good job

Thank you so much!

This is -still- the most beautiful piece of music I've written.

The title is fun and the song beautyfull!!!

you have everything to sell it

Thank you so much!

Very well done. :) Not quite as baroque as I was expecting but it delivers. Like Domino's but it was on time and not overpriced.

I'm glad that you like!

Thank you so much!

This is really nice ;)

Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoy!

You must really like to play with tonality, I don't know, but sometimes even if I come back to the tonic and end with a oV7 to I some of my pieces (I've only uploaded one that has this peculiarity) don't seem like they resolve, you do it pretty well though! Beautiful piece.

Oh, HEAVENS YES.

To me, harmony (which to me includes tonality) is the center of music.

I'm always looking for two things:

- Different ways to structure my music
- Different ways to create good-sounding tonality.

If my description mentions an 'improv', that usually means that I'm playing over a chord progression. If my description mentions a 'composition', that means that I'm trying yet another idea. And just asking me will usually lead to a flood of what's happening in the piece.

I'm a bit more centred on multiple melodies that induce the feeling of harmony. But your way of looking at it is very interesting.

*smile* Cool.

I need to become more focused on melody, I know.
