Sounds like a good base, I'm excited to hear the final product

This is the best description for posted music I've seen, well done 😄 I liked this more and more as it went on. It kind of reminded me of the form of Bolero, just this giant crescendo of a piece. All the electronics and effects worked really well. At first I didn't think I would care for it, but as I said, by the end I wanted to replay it again. The ending caught me off guard too, very cool! I really like your Thom Yorke style of singing, you kind of sound like him too, especially when your vocals first entered. You a Radiohead fan? Your vocals became more emotional and unchained as it went on, I could really feel the pain. It was a bit much for me, but I think it fit the song well and shouldn't be altered. Awesome work mate! Keep the hits coming for my YC feed

Hey there Nikkol I knew I remembered you, I listened to your music before. These tracks are definitely an improvement, and I like the instrumental approach. 🙂 I think I liked Lana more than Carly, because you had many more moments with melody. That's something I would continue to pursue, because without vocals the music could sound kind of empty with just drums and rhythm guitar. I dig the drum parts too! Just make sure to keep practicing your craft because the drums and guitar are out of sync in places. Keep writing and posting, looking forward to hearing more guitar around here 😄

Your music is great! I listened to the three you posted, and they're all wonderful. This one was my favorite, thanks for sharing 🙂

Make it more chaotic. You are not Bach. Maybe listen to some of my works that were supposed to be fighting song for a game. I am going to put them on here later.

I just wrote a symphony in one movement, hope you like it! the video: 作品9之1 小交响曲_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

IT IS NOT UNRELATED: earlier in the post when I said I would listen to it yesterday and then did not?

I just feel weird you leave comments completely unrelated to the piece posted, maybe you can move to post in the Random post? That would be much more appropriate. Henry

By the way, I really DO want to hear this whole piece with the score; who knows, might be today!

He is not a musician, just fascinated by theory/composition, Henry! I don't mean "really" worn out, it's fun! I just mean I will be relaxing more, watching movies, etc.

This is really weird, but a 24-year-old Ukrainian kid stumbled onto one of my old, old YouTube posts, and he has become a sort of pen pal, and it is taking a lot of my time right now, so I'm often too worn out to keep my promises about listening to things, editing things right away. No biggie, but I'm pretty sure I won't write a piece for at least a couple months as well! No offence meant, of course!

Added more melodic material...I realized this week that I work SO slow b/c I analyze everything so much and don't let myself go and just write lol

This has nothing to do with anything, but the music in this Russian cartoon: МЫШКИ - МАЛЫШКИ. Сказка. СССР.«Киевнаучфильм». Реставрация. is awesome; not the cartoon, it is mediocre. I mean the music! That scraggy be awesome, if I may be permitted to use the colloquial. I can't write that good! Kind of a bit of jazzy Shostakovich in there, but he didn't write it. Might have to "steal" that one!

I still need more ideas for my third sonata. Anyways, @churchcantor did you listen to them yet? (Like the full thing). I can wait though. Don't disappear.

Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend and I love your humour 🙂

Hey, you know that Ravel once said to Gershwin when Gershwin tried to study composition with Ravel... Gershwin: Yo bro, you seem cool, can I study composition with you? Ravel: Nah... Gershwin: Why not? Ravel: I don't want to teach-... I meant why become an awful Ravel when you could become a perfect Gershwin? Gershwin: %$!@?٪35@DF3#^... Gershwin died of a heart attack. No. Just kidding! But you get the point. And yes, I did enjoy The music.

FWIW, here is one of my own comments I just found and remembered from another piece of mine: Sin boldly is the ancient maxim. If you are going to break that "classical" rule of no parallel fifths, do it deliberately, and do not write them in pure counterpoint! I don't mind first position Rock or Folk chords in the guitar when it is merely accompanying, replete with parallel fifths on the bottom; people are used to that sonority, but when I write a fugue or real counterpoint, of course I avoid them. HOW does your music SOUND?

Didn't listen to it, just glanced over the score! It's really good, just not in a music mood right now. If I listen to anything today, probably something like the Grateful Dead or the Doobie Brothers! I'll get to it eventually; I LOVE clarinet, like C.M.V. Weber! Well, not totally true; I might listen to some of my own stuff yet again. Not "musical masturbation;" I just do it to see if there is anything I might need to change, minor edits.

Wow, there are some really colorful moments here! I love 4:00 - 5:00, it's like you treat the orchestra as a percussion instrument 🙂 Very very cool! Love the big unanticipated chord at 8:30 too. Aw, lame, but I get it. I've been there, we are our own worst critics. I would have submitted anyway, it is quite good to me. Your score looks great too. I think the big changes you would want to do are better left alone, as you've done. Save those ideas for the next one. You can sit there and tinker with orchestra pieces forever, no shame in letting it be as is. Watch your levels in the mix, you have a few spots where I hear distortion, but that's an easy fix. Around the 9 min mark is an example. I think it's brass? Lovely piece, thanks for sharing! I've heard your music a few times now, I dig your style.

Just a quick update ... Met with my mentor ... improved counterpoint (one measure had parallel 4ths in the sopranos/altos for example) ... improved voicing/harmony in last 2 measures ... and reworked the piano line .... One has to be patient! Mark Will post again when the work is finished!

By the way, here is an example of what classical guitar can be, if one wishes to be so complicated! Villa-lobos was quite the virtuoso on the thing...I have no desire to be so complicated!

Thatguy, some things I won't take your advice on: of course I will correct impossible chords, but fingerings and hand positions essential? Not standard in historical classical guitar music. The dropping of the pedal A because I wanted to; just contrapuntal reasons. I'll see when I feel like editing, which is not now! 😆
