I've been taking something of a hiatus from classical music recently. I haven't had any big ideas to go off of when it comes to big orchestral works or even smaller chamber ensemble pieces; I've also wanted to compose small songs/do piano covers/write jazz pieces for quite some time now, and I figured it's about as good a time as any to just get on with it while I rest the classical side of my composing output for now. Don't worry (in case you are 😉), I'm sure I'll come back to it eventually. The piece below is one of my first attempts at writing in a distinctly alternative, non-classical musical language since I first started writing music two and a half years ago. I've been asked by a friend to write some pieces for his student film, and he asked specifically for an 'upbeat jazz'... thing to accompany a scene he plans on filming a couple of months from now. I decided to work with a jazz trio that consists of a drumset, piano, and acoustic guitar (since he planned on having the school band play the piece). I've made an effort to focus more on rhythmic drive and the 'groove' of the piece instead of melody or harmony, and I'm curious if anything here could be considered 'jazzy' at all, or if it's just a jumble of discordant sounds that merely assume the semblance of jazz improvisation. I'm quite unsure of this new writing style, so any constructive criticism is welcome. Hoping to hear from everybody! 😁 Note: the .mp3 only goes up to 1:42, since I haven't finished the piece. There should be a couple more minutes of music after that.

Absolutely lovely, listened three times in a row

liked it very much. the only thing I hate is the mechanical computer-generated playback

It's not finished, but i decided to post it anyway

So I finally did it!   In june i will have the access test which ive been preparing to for two whole years !!!!!! Im so excited i cant held the tears !! I have to submit several pieces for that and I want to share them with you, this is like a tiny 'concert' in which you can appreciate my development !!!!!!!   I ve already posted some of those pieces here, so some of you may already know them I hope you like it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   (btw, the audio of the first score is broken somehow)
