Are we able to register for the competition now/ is the pole finalized?

Hi , Since the recent update today, banner updating has Failed | is this intentional ?

Reading the title of this thread I have a few seconds of terror that you're leaving the forum, thank God you don't! Congrats on your works being used in films! Henry

Just something I felt today. Had the start floating around in my mind when I woke up, but the rest (especially the microtonality, my first microtonal harmony ever :D) came as part of the process. Pretty happy with this. If someone wants to check if the intervals are playable, please do. I also have no idea harmonically what is going on, it is all just based on what sounded right to me. Wordlike is a thing I started doing some years ago. Basically inventing nonsense words and connecting them to something abstract (or a specific meaning). I like to compose and then examine how I feel phonologically. Ano'ton, awash.n93.mp3 n93.pdf

Yo, Since some people have asked about what I'm up to for film scoring I figured now would be a good time to make a thread. Firstly, I am scoring a very cool action/horror film that begins shooting next month, but they are looking to raise some additional funds. Check out this spoiler-free (mostly), behind-the-scenes video (which I also scored). The film stars stuntwoman and actress Alleya Bourne, whose work you may have seen on "The Last of Us" and the film's effects, including the animatronic creature itself are all practical and provided by an Emmy-winning team who have also lent their talents in prosthetics, makeup and puppeteering to Hollywood films like "Sonic The Hedgehog" and "Child's Play". The entire cast and crew would greatly appreciate any support you might able to offer, which you can do so at this link: The Customer - Film and Storytelling | Seed&Spark Oh and you can check out the teaser trailer (which features a heavily-reverbed version of a vocal track I wrote for it) for another film I composed for, a dark supernatural drama called "Crossroads" starring Dave Greason (MGM+'s Billy The Kid) Both will be doing the festival tours in North America later this year so you can catch them in a number of major cities! Thank you for checking it out and all the support the Young Composers community has given me over the years!

Very Nice composition Erionmahony and i wish you the best of luck with your exams.

[INFO DUMP - WARNING ] You play this very wonderfully. Without the score, it is very pleasing to just close your eyes and listen. Easily very romantic, and as you said, very Chopinistic sounding. As an observation, Chopin's Op.48 no.1 Nocturne in C-minor feels like the source for your compositional style in this work; especially with the triplet recapitulation. Now to my raw comments, I have a range of things from literal score engraving and my own interpretation of the score from the eyes of another pianist: First thing from the score is the meter changes. I personally do not think you need to change the meter at all. Since you are imitating romantic style, I think it best to truly adhere to those compositional trends before breaking them. More specifically, the 2/4 bar at measure 5. It turns your 4-bar phrase into a 4 1/2-bar phrase and it only happens once? It is very atypical for that style. To add, you do not restate your opening melodic idea except the very beginning and the A' recap. Seeing the score, it does not imply a strong sense of A-B-A', but instead, a through-composed improvisation session that was transcribed. Even with 2 minutes & 30 seconds for this, I think you can bring the opening theme back to end the first A section, however, by modulating to the Dominant (As you did originally). With the B section, it seems more often than not, the left hand is the only hand doing 12/8. The right hand is still in 4/4 (or 2/2) as evident by all your duples. Just keep the same meter, and add triplets in the left hand, keep the right hand in a simple meter, and just re-add your 6-tuplets or other spots as you originally have. It will make the whole piece look and feel more cohesive to an outside view. Nearing the end, your "Recap" is not as strong or decisive as you think. We hear the opening material/ motif come back, but what about the harmony? Your piece is in G#-minor, so doesn't it make sense to end either in G#-minor or Ab-major? Instead, you never resolved the work by ending on an Eb-major chord, which is the enharmonic dominant of G#-minor. For musical clarity, please find a way to get us back to G#-minor. It is very common to use the END of the B-section as a transition into the opening key. Reference the Op.48 Nocturne I mentioned for this point. Lastly, the meter: You mark Alle Breve with Largo. If your reference Chopin Op.28, no.4 Prelude in E-minor, we see the same technique. If you play this, you need to keep the half-note intact; thus, it should be played faster. Your triplets in the B-section were too slow for the meter you picked. Alright, time to end! A nice work and very refreshing to hear. May these comments serve you well and if you would like to see these comments annotated for visual aid, let me know! Good luck in your exam and keep up the good work!

So, recently I have been listening to a lot of ambient, music and I think the style is very interesting. I've been trying to grasp It for a bit, but It's hard to compose. The last time I tried this, I wasn't too happy with the result and I don't think It was, so I'm trying again. this time around, I'm sharing It while It's still in development so I can catch early mistakes, and receive input. ambient.mp3

Here is my A level composition. I'm doing it roughly in the style of Chopin, but the overall style is just trying to be romantic. The structure is ABA, and the B theme is highly similar to the A theme. Things the exam board focus on are: 'Motivic development, form and structure, harmony, and texture. The time limit is 2 minutes 30, so I'll probably just play some parts quicker next time. Any feedback would be appreciated!Elegy in G#m.pdfWhatsApp Audio 2026-03-31 at 16.37.38.mp3

See the picture, it explains it all. Looking for thoughts on the concept.

Thank you! Yes please provide me with feedback! It is always welcomed...

All that hurts logic, Interlect. If you overthink it too much, then yes the computer composed it. If I overthing too much, I'm left vulnerable to where people can steal my music and do whatever they want with it, because thus they've proven that I don't own it. See where the problem is? I'll go with the ethics class I attended, as it's more rational by that point to provide ownership to the artist. I also stand by my work.

To commemorate the date designated as Bach's actual birthday under the Gregorian calendar, this time I have decided to upload the definitive revised version of another one of my previous fugues, originally in the key of E minor though still for the same ensemble. I would also like to dedicate this fugue as a birthday present to my dear friend Julia as well, whose family has been going through exceedingly difficult times for more than one year now. Since the loss of a very special loved one has taken a severe toll on us all, my sincerest hope now is that she and her family can start anew and rebuild their lives from the ashes of their grief, even when all hope for a better future seems gone forever and endless mourning seems to be the only thing left to live for. Bach himself was no stranger to painful, heart-wrenching losses. Even as he lost both parents at age 10, his first wife at 35, and in line with the astronomical infant mortality rates of his era, more than half of his 20 children during childhood, he was likely reassured that his dedication to God alone through his music would be worthy of a place in Heaven for all those he loved and whose safety he prayed for daily. This key of F-sharp minor in our currently standardized A = 440 tuning always evoked in me a far greater sense of mourning in the wake of tragedy than any other. Perhaps because of this reason I felt naturally drawn to it when thinking of those precious loved ones we may have lost along the way, the precious, cherished moments that will never again come to pass, and the longing memories broken by the sudden wound their departure left forever imprinted in our hearts.

It’s been over a month and no one has to reply, so let me be the first! I am a professional pianist and Improvise all the time in my practice sessions. In my opinion, it helps to know certain structures or musical devices. If you know a chord progression, play the chords in the left hand on loop and practice a loose melody on top. From there, switch the roles and try to improvise the bass. Little by little, you can develop your technique as we do with all things, but to improvise well and fluently, you need to train your mind. You need to have knowledge and confidence in your music skill to execute complex passages. Start simple and get more complex over time. Attached is my little demo just doing C-F-G chords in the left hand and going for it with my right hand. YCF | Sample Improv.mp3

Really, I should post the piece it is extracted FROM! 🫢 Three Roads Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight

Ramble On just needs Bonzo on a guitar case or a cardboard box.

I'm ok at bass; mediocre at best, but I really don't want to tackle this piece! Bro is coming in the Summer, he will master the guitar part, add fills, bends, usw and he will probably force me to try. I'm ok at Classic Rock, but this is really (weird) classical. Bertha Ramble On

Mr. Lucifuge

Found the manuscript...

Hi there, this is my first time seeing this thread as a whole and it's a nice piece! I wanted to ask a few months later if you're stilling wanting any feedback about it?

Hi Vonias Its difficult for me to make a SEPARATION from the " USER vs the Music-GENERATOR program ", which is what suno is listed as. Questionnaire : + Reply 1: Did YOU turn your computer on ? | yes 2: Did YOU boot-up the Music Generator program ? | yes 3: Did you INPUT-INFORMATION into the program via a Keyboard ? | yes 4: Did the commands that YOU initiated result in a Playback of sounds ? | yes --- So Obviously the "PROGRAM CANNOT THINK FOR ITSELF"......therefore it has no Intelligence. A new form of BRANDING ...............or an elaborate SCAM ?

Three Roads Guitar And Bass Extracted Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Guitar and Bass Guitar | Noteflight I sure can't play it! I need to finish articulating it, but my brain is fried, dude! From a mixed ensemble choral piece, but IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE (WEIRD) ROCK EXTRACTED!!!

Three Roads Guitar And Bass Extracted Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Guitar and Bass Guitar | Noteflight Just for fun, extracted from a mixed ensemble choral piece. Need to finish articulating it. Post what it's extracted FROM, Alexandre Dumb (Esel will do). Three Roads Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight

Can I play this on bass? Certainly not now, and I am no professional bass player!
