Thank you so much my dear @kvothe. I'm very happy that you like it. Yes Mozart schubert and Chopin are there and maybe you are right about Brahms espessialy at the development section. Thanks again for the appreciation my friend -

nice.

Hey! Thank you so much! First...yeah...force of habit on the date. I updated it, so thanks for pointing that out! Definitely like hearing the comparison to 80s scores though! Those classic scores were definitely an inspiration on these, so glad that came across. It was fun to break into that feeling again, as opposed to orchestral. Plus, coming off the heels of the Stranger Things finale, I've been feeling drawn towards some synth-ier pieces lately. Thanks for taking a few moments to listen!

Synth Pieces to start out the New Year!
PeterthePapercomPoser replied to layneleefilm's topic in Electronic
Hi Layne! @layneleefilm Nice synth pieces! The synth sounds make me think of 80's movie OST's! I recently saw the movie "Tron: Ares" which this reminds me of a little bit too. Running through the dark with its echoing theme towards the end reminds me of Friday the 13th OST. Did you put the wrong date in the title? It says 1-2-25 and 1-3-25 but it's 2026 now! Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great year! -

Hi all! It's been a bit since I posted on here. Today I'm bringing a couple synth pieces I composed. I've recently been inspired to work some more in this realm. So, I jumped into FL Studio and used some of Analog Lab V's great presets and instruments. The first is called "Moving On"...it's a more uplifting and positive piece than I usually compose. In my mind I see someone moving on from a breakup | life change | childhood home and taking those first steps towards their own journey. For the second piece, I titled it "Running Through the Dark". I leaned into a darker sound for this one, more horror oriented and intense. I envisioned someone in a dark forest running from an unseen force or being. On both of these, I have tried some new mixing techniques to try and make things sound clearer and less jumbled. Hope you enjoy the listens and can't wait to hear your feedback and what images these bring to you!

Piano Sonata no 3 - 1. Moderato
Kvothe replied to Vasilis Michael's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
Hello @Vasilis Michael: First, you are very welcome for the shout out. You earned it. Now to the main the event. I can love how the thematic material, which is presented in the exposition, is developed in the middle section. Both P and S themes are phrased well. The Transition between is lovely. The modal mixture is beautiful. 🙂 You can never go wrong with that! I hear Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, and maybe Brahmns (?) - Yesterday

Hi everyone! This is my sonata for piano and alto saxophone, which I composed over this summer as a birthday gift for my mom (born on Halloween!) Below you'll find my own formal analysis of the work to help parse a piece that even I find a little bit dense. The analysis will focus on the most complex movement, the third, so if a more thorough explanation of the first two movements is wanted I'll edit this post to include theme here. Please bear in mind that there are passages in this piece which are meant to be played completely freely from a rhythmic standpoint, and MIDI simply can't simulate that. Thank you for listening and providing your thoughts on this piece, it's something I spent a lot of time and energy on. Analysis: My Sonata for Piano and Saxophone in Eb major is cast in three movements. The last two are played without a break. The first movement is in a free form based on tempo transformation. (It’s essentially the form of the third movement of Brahms’ second symphony). The second movement, Romanza, is a simple, ternary form in Bb with an F minor middle section. It’s very beautiful but harmonically slightly troubled, somewhat unstable. The movement plays without a break into the third. The third movement is in a freely reworked version of sonata form. There is a slow, dramatic introduction for the piano alone which moves through various keys from F# minor to Eb major. Then follows “Cavatina I” a ternary form subsection. The A section of this is a pastoral tune in Ab minor over a pedal Ab. This then gives way to the B section, a modally ambiguous march. Then the A section returns. This gives way to “Fuga I” which is a fugue in Gb major over a Db pedal point (lasting almost the entire three and a half minute long fugue). This fugue is more dramatic than rhetorical, climaxing with an episode in Gb minor which is subverted into “Cavatina II”. This is the same music as Cavatina I, but formally inverted (the A section becomes the B section and vice versa). The march is heard in a more ornamental form for the piano alone. Then the pastoral tune, this time in Gb major over a pedal fifth in the bass of the piano. The march returns and leads directly into “Fuga II” This fugue uses as its subject a transformed version of the subject of Fuga I, itself a transformation and combination of the first movement’s “seed motive” (Eb - C - G - Bb - F - Eb) and the pastoral tune. This fugue is highly metrically complex, representing a transition and conflict between the considerable amount of 6/8 music, and the common time of the section that follows. The final passage of the finale is a chorale. The chorale introduces new melodic material (actually built from intervalic material from the introduction, which is a transformation of the first movement seed motive), but the harmony under it was carefully constructed: the entire finale is an elaboration on the harmonic progression (F# minor - D# diminished - Ab minor - Eb minor - Gb major - Bb minor - Eb major) heard in the introduction of the movement. The chorale is just another restatement of that harmonic progression, reaffirming the journey back to Eb major for the third time in the movement. The chorale-coda also gradually introduces a new rhythmic cell which crystallizes over the course of the passage, resulting in the final Eb major chords of the movement being sounded in the following rhythm: eighth note - dotted quarter - half note - dotted quarter - eighth note (- half note). This is a rhythmic palindrome, mirroring the harmonic palindrome which comprises the structure of the sonata as a whole.

Prelude no.14 - Live Performance by Henry Ng
pateceramics replied to Thatguy v2.0's topic in Piano Music, Solo Keyboard
I'm always a fan of the minor and the modal, and agree with the rest of the room that the surprise C# is a particularly nice moment! If I had one wish, I think it would be nice to play around with something every so slightly different in the left hand the third time through bar one and two instead of doing an exact repeat of that material. We've gone on such a journey by that point, that to evolve, just by a note or two so the listener wonders what has changed, might be interesting to play with. This is really wonderful, and Henry's playing is very tender with excellent phrasing and use of rubato. Bravo to you both! -

Oh I didn’t notice it . Thanks for point it out -
Hello dear composers. First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year, and may this year give you even more inspiration for creating even more music. I present to you the first movement of my new sonata. I must admit that it challenged me quite a bit, but the final result leaves me completely satisfied. Here you will also find influences from my favorite composers, but I feel that, specifically in this movement, I put much more of my own introspective and personal style into it. I hope you like it.

Thanks Henry! Yes, this piece was all about word painting to tell the story, so we start off stuffy and formal, like a formal business letter, and then are surprised with creepy, agitated eighth notes and a spider. My main challenge was trying to make the piece feel cohesive, since there isn't a strict melody or even a single short motif that holds it together. What does repeat are some textures: anxious eighth note sections for the piano at m. 13 and 47, and striding up by quarter note thirds and fourths at m.18 and 52 (the second time fancied up with an added octave and then some dotted eighth rhythms. Hopefully the final result isn't too chaotic. Or is just chaotic enough for suddenly realizing you are holding a live, struggling spider in your hand. Thanks for your thoughts!

@Henry Ng Tsz Kiu uh they actually don’t make sense. I actually at least said something, unlike you. You had nothing to say to my previous questions. 🫠Anyways, I am done interacting with you. I have given you enough of my time. You must have nothing else better to do than bug me. I’ll read whatever you reply to this, after that I’m just going to ignore you.

Thank you so much guys for your appreciation and your support. Really appreciated it 🙏 I wish you all Happy new year

Hahahaha the photograph showing the DAW is epic It's my theory that Nickelback minus Chad Kroeger's voice is phenomenal, but their infamy remains. This music melts faces, and makes mine do this: Awesome job my friend!

henry my brotha, I apologize for replying to you later, but I am very happy you enjoyed my work. I guess the work has a tinge of sadness to it. After ruminating a lot about life + the anxiety I've been through, the work has an inevitable bittersweetness. I hope to record the piece in its full version for my dedicatee. Thank you as always for commenting. Here is a fun pic:
