Hi @therealAJGS! This sounds really spooky and unnerving because of the harmony. It seems like maybe you are combining sounds without really any regard for what harmonies they might create together. The harmony is what makes the mood/vibe of the song what it's meant to be, not the instruments or the samples. It does sound kinda ambient though with the high reverb. Thanks for sharing!

Hi @shirz! I didn't hear any mistakes in the beginning. I definitely can imagine it orchestrated and it kinda reminds me of the epic and heroic main theme from Chrono Trigger that plays after the title screen. Although I think in an orchestration, there should be some kind of change of texture to give the ear a break from the constant bass notes. Leaving some parts out at strategic places for a pause would give a welcome relief. Great job and thanks for sharing!

Hi Mark @MJFOBOE! I really like this! I love the Mixolydian simplicity of the melody and the easy to understand lyrics! Maybe it could use a chorus in another key? You could build it from extending the ending bit but perhaps in a whole step higher or lower for contrast? Then you could go to that chorus in between each of the verses. It would give the singer a little bit of break from having the sing the whole time since there's rests in it. Great job and thanks for sharing!

I told a carnival music themed AI fox to give me music.

Hello @Vasilis Michael and welcome to the forum! There is a Schubertian or maybe Schumannian quaintness to this bagatelle! It is classical/early romantic through and through. The harmony is always bringing variety and seamless transitions. And it sounds like you played this yourself! From your YT channel I can see that you already have upwards of 50 piano compositions - it's quite modest of you to introduce us to your music through only one composition, and perhaps such a brief one in comparison to the others! Do you perform all your other compositions as well? Great job and thanks for sharing!

The Abduction of the Coyote? Reminds me of the PDQ Bach parody of Mozart operas, The Abduction of Figaro!

Well, you might not want to hear my WW Qt movement from college, but I could revisit the form; perhaps add a guitar...

BTW, this is not a Rhapsody for orchestra, but the first movement of a symphony. Read it and weep, but I know.

You certainly like your Mahler! One can learn orchestration from that guy by only listening and studying the score! It's how I learned, not from College Orchestration Class.

Where did you study? This is good.

I can tell from the introduction alone that this will be good. Grabs me, and I will keep listening!

the final version of the horror 1 chase

This small piece started after i wrote first bars and i liked the outcome. I noticed that i can make up a whole composition from it. It is played by clarinet with some added echo. I don't have sheet for it at the moment. Duration 2:07

I didn't say that! I said it appealed to me more the more I listened to it over and over. That's still true. I do hear that theme now, when listening for it. The theme is actually quite easy to follow! But what perhaps detracts from the theme is that the material in between the statements of the theme doesn't seem related to the theme (and doesn't seem to be a development of the theme). Also, when the theme first comes in in bar 9, the ostinato seems to take center stage and all the attention while the theme is relegated to the background. But now that I listen for it, the theme is quite lucid and tuneful! But don't get me wrong - I thoroughly enjoyed this composition and even more so now that you've helped me notice the theme!

horror 2 alt(s) made in online sequencer because I wanted a break from the complexity of FL studio.

Great! I like the toms at 0:19 and the xylophone sounding notes! I also admire how it quiets down at the end. Great job!

Hello my friends. Im new here . My friend Henry told me about this forum so im glad that i am here with you . Here a bagatelle that i want to share. Bagatelle in B major. I hope you like it https://youtu.be/oIjmE8spNak?si=nf4Rw0C4RrNsjRYM Here my youtube channel so you can check all my compositions. https://www.youtube.com/@VasilisMichael87 Thank you very much

Hi, I'm new here on this forum. I've been making music as a hobby for many years, first mostly guitar (fusion) with keyboard and a DAW (studio one) and in the last couple of years more and more "classical" or rather symphonic music, first in a DAW, but now mostly in Dorico as i like the workflow much better. I've self-studied a lot of theory from books and youtube-videos. These are 3 of my latest compositions. I tend to make something I would call a "fantasy", as I like to let my mind flow and let the themes and ideas flow. Maybe it results in a mess, I'm not sure...😀 I'm writing in Dorico with Noteperformer and I'm using the standard sounds, except the strings where I'm using Spitfire BBC core.

peter, It is unfortunate to hear that this work did not appeal to you much(sad trumpet noises*). I think I actually did a lot to include the main theme in much of my work: the melody from m. 9 reappears in m. 30, m. 44 and m. 48(as an inversion). The B section itself is based on the same theme, while the C slap-tongue section utilizes a different material. I guess the theme isn’t as easy to follow since it has a quirky meter and twists + turns. Thank you for commenting on my use of extended techniques tho, always good to exploit my performers fullest potential(apart from the percussion).

VARIATION 2 has been fully scored!!! yipiieeee much more rhythm heavy, orchestration is much more heavier, theme is still very much recognizable, just under different context

Kudos on finishing your first orchestral composition. As other have said, you are quoting others. I hear Venus! To me, this is beautiful. 🙂

I used this prompt: At 84 BPM, this 7-minute track fuses atonal, serialist synth pulses and evolving textures, building slowly with sparse, shifting patterns. Verses feature minimalist motifs and precise percussion, while choruses unleash glitchy break core and DnB drums—rapid, fragmented, and hyper-detailed. It's a secret for now, but I created a website that generates atonal fugues at the press of a button: Projects - David Harper Then, with the generated midi file, I upload to Suno.com - it began picking up on atonal, serialism, and explicitly, Schoenberg.

Hello @K. A. Frayre! Welcome to the forum! I haven't listened to your music yet, but I have seen that you put each page of the score as JPG here, and the resolution is very clear. Would you instead upload the pdf file of the score so that viewers can look into the details in your music more easily? Also, it saves up space for your post haha. Thx for joining our forum! Henry

I've been working on a piece based on musical language from the eastern Hemisphere, and just wanted some feedback on it, if possible. I plan to make it 10+ minutes long, and would like to see if I could add or fix things before I start working on the 2nd movement. Here's a link to the score video: And higher quality images of the score:
