  1. Past hour
  2. Hello It sounds really nice and pleasant. It’s also very straightforward. The harp takes the place of the left hand, and the bass provides reinforcement. The strings accompany the melody, and at times they reinforce it in homophony. I think orchestrating this kind of “flat” music, with few dynamic contrasts, is difficult. But there are many resources in the strings that can be used. I’m no expert at orchestrating either; I’m still learning.
  3. Hi there again! This time i present the composition fully orchestrated and played with quality vst sample libraries. So this is Land Of Gods in full force! Let the grandeur and majesty of the ancient gods carry you in this composition: Land Of Gods Full And i also attach the score of the composition in this message. score land of gods concert pitch.pdf

  5. I'm an "older youngser" too - started at 52, but with much less experience than you....
  6. I began composing 16 years ago. I got started on the craft much later in life than most people who write music. That has left me with a lot of catching up to do, to say the least. It also means I'm not exactly a "young" composer, although I still choose to use this website from time to time.

    Hi Vonias This sounds Absolutely Fantastic & Amazing , especially at : 1:20. The problem i have is: Who do i Praise....... You or the Robot that created it ? But then again , What about these 2 photos below.......Did i create them , or was it my computer following my instructions ? Where does " ai " Start , and where does Human intelligence End ?............ I suspect that " ai " doesn't actually exist

  11. All I wanted to do was to change a couple of passages in octaves to double octaves: they sound like ice to me; great piano sonority-unconscious overtones, and it turned into a nightmare. Yeah, I wrote this in fourteen hours, the slowest written first movement of a piano sonata in history! (LOL), but editing in this thing? Whoever designed the software knew a bit of music theory, but did not know it well. It likes to change sharps to flats (hey; F# Major and Gb Major are the same key, right?) and substitute bass clefs for treble clefs later in the piece, where you can't even see what the program is doing! Yes; I just wanted to change bass clef to treble clef for one sixteenth note-that's how Beethoven would have done it, right? Gott im Himmel, was ist Dass? Now I get to listen to it Noch einmal, (spell check suggested Enema-it would indeed be capitalized auf Deutsch) to see if I caught all of the murderings, or if I have to rewrite passages from memory-don't ask: I don't have time to learn another music notation software. Oh yeah; randomly delete ONE MEASURE. I may have to wait until morning; oh wait: SOMEONE saved a new copy of this score? It is public domain, after all. After this training, I may be able to apply for an editorial position with Boosey & Hawkes, or conduct the New York Philharmonic. OK, Noteflight beat me. I can no longer read music. If I looked at a piece by seven-year-old Mozart, it would sound like Led Zeppelin to me. Noteflight is awful. Offal sounds like Awful, and Offal is another word for s*&# I think a Noteflight administrator fixed my ending for me. And of course offal isn't scraggy but meat by-products, but close enough. My mind is fried.

    I wrote this song with the idea of going to basic mechanic movements in music. The idea was a piston engine that creates momentum. It works overall. Attached is the score I used along with the prompt. If you think it's that easy, you have to consider that this song went through a critical rasterization process before completion. Numerous renderings were created before this final version. I used my website to create the pitch pallete then composed from there to create mechanical alliteration. Piston_Vonias.mp3 Piston.pdf
  14. Yep, go back to menu, and go to the fractal fugue generator. It will 'remember' the set you used, then click 'generate fugue' then 'play.'
  15. Thanx Vonias Once i got to the "Generate 12 tone row".....i was expecting a PLAY-BUTTON , but its missing,so there's nothing to hear ?
  16. hehehe, have you heard my latest song? Agnostic Silence - AI Music - Young Composers Music Forum
  17. No instructions, yet. I'd be happy to oblige to creating them. Here's a background of the style of music the website was born from: Atonal Music | Definition, Examples & Background - Lesson | Study.com
  18. FWIW, here is my "model" for the part songs. It does not sound like your usual Paul Hindemith... Paul Hindemith - Six Chansons - YouTube
  19. I'll figure it out. I did go to edit profile photo, and it's probably that I am not fully used to my year-old Lenovo computer!

  21. Thank you very much, MK Piano, for the lovely annotated document! Not only has this information been crucial to Philly but I was able to make meaningful changes to a piece I will have performed at Temple University for wind ensemble. Your mouth is very well rounded. Also, I greatly appreciate the harp demonstration video. Thank you for all your dedication and thought. I am always changing and hopefully improving.
  22. MK-Piano .... Thanks for the annotated review .... ! This is a lovely post-romantic work ..... e.g, Howard Hanson. Mark
  23. That picture is like Munch's The Scream!
  24. the third piece of this set, "crazed capybara", performed by Pavle Cajic: https://youtu.be/jCbbFmt-lDg
  25. Just for fun, this piece is very amusing. 1992-93, grad school, trying to be "complex" and impress people. Poor course of action. There is also a (atonal) fugue, and it is a fifteen-page beast. I pretentiously use the "B-A-C-H" motive...maybe I will put it in, because the ending is at least spectacular! Like Mozart being asked if he liked an orchestra's famous "first note" and replying something like: "Yes, but I liked the last note better." Fantasy And Fugue For Organ-Fantasy Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Organ | Noteflight I believe my organ writing changed a bit between 1992-3 and 2011 or so. Other than these pieces, only organ music I've written is mainly accompaniment to choral pieces.
  26. Also, look at his piano pieces. He has very little on YouTube, but it is all good.
