Now, THAT is interesting, Henry! There's an irony to that! -
For me, a four part ensemble playing a 3 part fugue, I'd use the spare instrument (as appropriate) to reinforce a line or entries where need be. The stretto, for example, needs clear entries. Swap the instrumental parts of the fugue around so you can marcato each voice entering.

Just my perceptions. Much music sounds the same because it rests on the more conservative foundations of tonal or modal harmony in its simplest form and, as you say, wannabe pop composers and performers want to use their gadgets straight from the box. Has anyone traced the hows and whys of “fuzz” and the accident that popularised it? It isn’t so different with “classical” music either: key-based, concern (as we’ve spoken before) with progressions; staying in one key due to lack of basic theoretical knowledge. Agreed that harmony (up to Brahms at least) allows more scope than the sadly ultra-conservative pop song so it’s there if people want to explore it. . I suppose you hit the bullseye with the “music industry”. Okay, it’s always technically been an industry of sorts. The sausage machine of species counterpoint proves that but until recently it’s been an artisan trade rather than a factory thumping out sameness. Where did it start? The arrival of recorded music and BASF tape; then multi-track recorders able to distribute the product of skills to the masses? Radio? All inspiring members of those masses to try their hand but with no understanding? Thankfully, all but my simplest efforts with “light music” don’t fit the “preferred” formulae. But my call is get playing rather than just tinkle around with a midi keyboard and sample set. Ponder what you want to do with music. Are you into composing because you crave attention or because you need to express something beyond words, or even with words/lyrics?

I feel like I never lose sparks on composing because I never consider myself a composer at all haha. -

Hi @piajo, Yuck I love this! The piano introduction sounds so nice! I love the pentatonics there. It sounds very soothing. It sounds simple, but to attain this level of simplicity with wonderful power is difficult! Maybe for me I would choose flute instead of oboe since it sounds more airy and matches more with this wonderful music. But anyways, I enjoy it! Thx for sharing! Henry
