The Nightfly

Hey Richard, welcome to YC. As for people who dont know you, we are taking same course with richard in Royal Holloway. And we are both working towards our final projects. Glad you're here man !

Anyway,

You're piece really brought something fresh to this forum. As I have found out that many composers here are following the footseps of classical masters, your piece however showed the music of our time. It's tonal, very accesible and enjoyable. It has intelligent use of the technological possibilities that are offered to a composer. Writing for audio track always proves to be much challanging, since there are endless posibilities to do with it, unlike the real instruments where you are limited in terms of sound and whats playable. On this matter your piece uses very subtle use of audio track which does not bother the ear at all, you just kept the right balance.

This music reminded me of Steve Reich's city life. It has the same kind of sound. Minimalistic, at some point. But not strictly minimalistic. Again, a nice balance.

I am waiting to hear other movement, Im curious. Untill now, its very good.
