Are you happy with the microtonal piano sounds? I wonder if using some sort of E-piano or synth would give your pieces something different to offer, as you could mimic a lumatone or whatever else is out there. I know there are microtonal harpsichords and pianos, but they're so unpractical. I just checked fiverr and no one offers lumatone lol. Dang. I'm just brainstorming because you clearly have so much interest in microtonal music, I'm just trying to think of other outlets available. I've kind of vicariously lived through your microtonal studies, silently judging what I like and dislike about it's uses for my own music, so thank you for that haha 😄 The music overall felt comical and maybe slightly cheesy, but I think that's just the nature of using so many microtones within your harmonic context. That's not to say I didn't like it, it was fun 🙂 Nice job Peter, looking forward to hearing more ...or maybe something big you have brewing in the works...

Emily in Cordoba - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix Emily’s exciting career at « Candeur Advertising » brought her in Cordoba. As usual she takes selfies everywhere anytime all over the place. After the visit of Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral she looked at the selfies she’s been taken and found that one of the selfy she probably mistakenly took was her face but made of wood. The choir stalls where her face was pictured is located across from the altar, which was crafted during the 18th century and were executed by Pedro Duque Cornejo. Could it be that Emily’s ancestors were Spanish? “This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.” Music: Syrel Photography: Syrel, Córdoba Mosque-Cathedral, 2024 Musical notes: I am not sure if the inspiration comes from the great Al di Meola or Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66. Nevertheless, enjoy the short ride.

This music makes me ye olde happy, thanks for sharing! I love when the rest of the instruments come in about halfway through... for me you could shave off a bunch before that and treat it like an intro 🙂

The first one cannot be heard. The second one sounds good and fluid, with very clean changes in tonality to the dominant and back.

I would sell the manuscript of the string quartet for some pot and a couple bottles of Sherry!

Well, the STRING quartet was 2009.

An hour or so at a time, or I get addicted! And they still haven't played the song I want to arrange!

Le minutieux et très économe Monsieur Radin English translation below: Nouveau film de Fetchflix sur vos écrans bientôt Synopsis du film: Justin Radin, comptable de formation et responsable des plans d’affaires pour l’entreprise Bidouille & fils, était spécialiste des coûts de fabrication et d’assemblage. Tout était calculé au centime près et les achats étaient optimisés à la perfection en plus d’être minimisés. Mais voilà, ses nouveaux patrons, des milléniaux nées avec un iPhone 18 Pro Super Max dans leurs mains et accros des réseaux sociaux comme Swiffer, Analphabet et FakeBook lui ont montré la direction de la retraite « BIEN MÉRITÉE » disaient-ils. Disons plutôt un bel exemple d’âgisme. Justin Radin a économisé toute sa vie pour ses vieux jours, mais n’était pas prêt à profiter de sa retraite en plus de ne plus savoir comment dépenser et se faire plaisir. Heureusement, il fait la rencontre de la très charmante et dépensière Mercedes, qui de toute évidence changera sa vie. « Cette histoire est une œuvre de fiction. Toute ressemblance avec des personnes réelles, vivantes ou décédées, ou avec des événements réels, serait purement fortuite. Et pour ceux qui ne l'auraient pas compris, Fetchflix TV est également une fiction. » Musique : Syrel Photographie : Meta AI New Fetchflix movie coming soon Film synopsis: Justin Radin, an accountant by training and responsible for business plans for the company Bidouille & fils, was a specialist in manufacturing and assembly costs. Everything was calculated to the nearest cent and purchases were perfectly optimized in addition to being minimized. But there you have it, his new bosses, millennials born with an iPhone 18 Pro Super Max in their hands and addicted to social networks like Swiffer, Analphabet and FakeBook showed him the direction of “WELL-DESERVED” retirement, they said. Let’s rather call it a fine example of ageism. Justin Radin saved his entire life for his old age, but was not ready to enjoy his retirement, in addition to no longer knowing how to spend and treat himself. Fortunately, he meets the very charming and spendthrift Constance, who will clearly change his life. “This story is a work of fiction.

I think the hare (zayats) and wolf (volk) are secret gay lovers! One moment, the wolf wants to eat the hare, and the next moment, they are dancing romantically!

The Wrongware Factory - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix In order to make new friends, the new president of a small and idiocratic country decided to create a new agency called the Government Office of Optimized Failure, the GOOF, which is staffed by a bunch of 12 years old kids having the title of Government Office Overpaid Fools, the GOOFys and headed by an asparagus grower, who thinks he’s a genius. The GOOF is some kind of factory helping the government to creates chaos and uncertainties within the government until it implodes for the benefits of the plutocrats. Guess who will survive? “This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.” Music: Syrel Photography: Meta AI Musical notes: The wonderful main theme composed by Theodore Shapiro for Severence was somewhat my source of inspiration. I wanted my theme dystopic, simple and complex at the same time.

Nu, zayats, nu, nu pogodi! Means well, hare, well, well, you just wait!

Who Cooked the Cat ? - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix Bill, Bob, Barry, and Beth are roommates, and once a week, on Saturday, they cook themselves a feast with a special meat. This week, they planned to prepare a rabbit meal. However, the disappearance of Furrball McFluff, their cat, went unnoticed—until a serious unease arose within the cooking team. So... who cooked the cat? “This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental. And for those who did not get it, Fetchflix TV is also fictitious.” Music: Syrel Photography: Syrel, Book Cover 1987 Musical notes: Yes I kind of borrowed a part of the main theme of Voyage to the bottom of the sea by Paul Sawtell but I also twisted it sooooo much.

The Pepperman - Short Movie main theme. Now on Fetchflix Fred likes it spicy. He has been married so many times to hot women that he can only be looking for more. For his last bride, he decided to go all-in and get pepper wedding rings, which earned him the nickname "The Pepperman". Let’s hope his marriage doesn’t end up in flames. “This story is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.

 Photography: Syrel, Venice 2019 Musical notes: Got the idea from a Dianna Krall song opening but can’t remember which one. She is proudly Canadian by the way.

Watching it this lovely morning, like a malenkey Russkii malchik! They haven't played the song yet.

Hi @PeterthePapercomPoser Thank you for the comment! I hope this work is not too complicated and bitter to you. Yes, my music is usually highly thematic and is usually evolving. This way of writing give me a balance (which I hope to achieve) where coherence between different passages while constantly giving changes/ energy to the music like a living creature - instead of very structured development. It really does. After all those dramas, I just want some "peace" to settle the piece, and prepare the audience to the next movement. Another technical considerations is that, I realize there might be frequent pedal changes to play the written chords, but I don't want 2 harps to play there. So I wrote the passage in a minimal way. Yes, Dorico with NotePerformer. Any good suggestion to avoid that issue lol

I could arrange the rest of the Guitar Quartet for piano in a weekend, have me my first Piano Quartet in A Major, and have a much fuller sound, but I'll get to that eventually...this is a very recent piece, this past December and first week of January.

Requiem in Bb Major-Introitus Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight Requiem In Bb Major-Kyrie Free Sheet Music by Robert C. Fox for Various Instruments | Noteflight

Wrote one other Mass, but it's a Requiem! A happy, hopeful Requiem in Bb Major. Just effectively finished it this year; who wants to die with an unfinished Requiem after all, especially one somewhat modeled on Mozart's?

Listen to Sanctus first; for a formal Latin Mass, it's almost Rock & Roll! Credo is nice, but did YOU ever try setting that tome to music? It just goes on and on! The Nicene Creed, I mean. Gloria is the movement based on my brother's song, but there are motives scattered everywhere!

Also, Serious is on my "activity" so you won't see it on my home page.

This is amazing! it kinda reminds me of pirates of the Caribbean. i cant believe you've made 200 songs! keep it up!

cool.

Very nice, in some parts it kinda sound like an old recording. Very good!

i've checked out 'energy discharge,' and i think it's very jumpy and peppy! yooo didn't think i'd meet a deltarune fan here!!! but thank you!!! and yeah, it is exactly what I'm trying to do with this orchestration of the theme's first introduction. the ost, i think, is much more heavier with the drums and stuff but here, it's very light. i'll be developing a lot more of the theme in the variations, of course.

I've concocted yet another short microtonal experiment, this time inspired by @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu's Violin Sonata he wrote recently for his friend @expert21. I wanted to continue this with a B section in another key/meter before returning to the A material, but it ended up sounding pretty conclusive to me at the end. But let me know what you think! Maybe I'll make another movement? I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, critiques or just observations you may have! This is entirely in 24 tet. Thanks for listening!
