    • Quite an intriguing combination of instruments!  To be nitpicky about the score:  you don't specify whether the score is transposed or in C (and I'm assuming that both the Clarinet and Flugelhorn are in Bb but since there's no key signatures for the piece and it's atonal, it's hard to determine whether the parts are transposed or not because sometimes these kinds of atonal scores don't show any key signatures regardless of the presence of transposing instruments).  To be even more nitpicky about the rendition:  the cello sounds quite synthetic in comparison to the other instruments which all sound realistic. I always find your style of music best at expressing uncertainty, intrigue or unease.  It would be cool if the emotional palette of your music was more varied.  Not that you by any means have to explore that but I'm just sure the music would have way more appeal (to me at least) even given the modern language.  I find that the rhythms, despite always being couched in 4/4 seemed to be more differentiated - I don't know if you included some slight tempo changes or not.  There's some really funny directions/comments in the score - "what the heck has it done here?!" and "I'll sort this out later. Firkin nuisance." - LoL.  I guess that's your claim to eccentricity.  But I'm not sure how much of a difference a performer would make in their performance with those comments.  It seems redundant honestly.  Maybe it's an indication that you are searching for a way to inject more meaning into your music.  But I do have to say that the whole piece is kind of same-y throughout - don't get me wrong - it's definitely interesting throughout but I know it could be so much more.  It definitely leaves me with a privation for more meaning, more substantiality.  I know you consider yourself a lounge music type of musician but I wish there was more to it and with more contrasts to different aspects of it such as harmony and style.  But those are just my own personal thoughts.  Thanks for sharing!
    • I'm on a block on how I should continue this octet. I have the first 3 section ideas finished, but I don't know how I should continue the work. It doesn't feel close to the end whatsoever. I was wondering what ideas you all had on where this work should go. For context, the first movement is (very)loosely based on The Pilgrim's Progress.
    • MP3     Play / pause Sonata for Violin Mvt. 1 0:00     0:00 volume   > next menu   Sonata for Violin Mvt. 1   > next PDF Sonata for Violin Mvt. 1 Lovely work.
    • The score looks disorganised. Separate your different themes into segments and we might be able to get a convo going
    • Thanks, I'll consider your suggestions. But for example, in a concerto, there is one main instrument that plays a bigger proportion of the solo, than in my composition the guitar. So maybe this is an electric guitar concerto.
