I'm not done yet, but you can check my progress here, edit: for some dumb reason it only goes up to 2 1/2 minutes so I'll be splitting it into two parts. here's the first one. https://onlinesequencer.net/4928420##t0

Thak 😃

Also, you might be surprised at the end because of the picardy third. That is because I put a have put a quote in there. Read it, (maybe).

Hey there Justin Wow, this is fantastic! There's so much color throughout, and I love how you really explore some of the possibilities the instruments are capable of. Long trills, variation in expressions, all wonderful. It was interesting to hear how you developed your melodic cells, since there was a purposeful lack of melody. I love your jaunty changes in rhythm, and your approach to sequence-style movement in your chords (sorry don't know how to properly say that). The A sections were so free and fleeting, kind of reminded me of Debussy or how jazz musicians move chords. Very cool stuff. I don't know how "halloween" sounding this is, but it's an outstanding work nonetheless, one that you should be very proud of. Feel free to offer advice or say hi to others, you sound like you have a lot of knowledge we'd be happy if you shared. Thanks for posting, and be sure to vote for me for your favorite halloween piece 😄

Hey Tristan Well, I think this piece is definitely a front runner for most unique ensemble, more so than mine at least haha. Cool choice to use two pianos and only one string player, I was curious to see how you'd pull it off. I like the variety of variations you have, it made it interesting all the way through. My favorite was probably 5, but I also really like the subtle build of the last variations leading into the coda. It's also smart to have ones like variation 10 to help break up the monotony. Cool music! I hope the competition gave some inspiration to music you would otherwise have never written. It did for me 🙂 Cheers buddy, good stuff. Keep writing and practicing!

Cool man, I love the dark style of this. That quarter note bass line at the end sounded like it was building up to something faster, maybe movement 2 eh? 🙂 For some reason I got metal vibes hearing this, which is good, because metal owns. Love your music, but we gotta update your program... you deserve better sound samples! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Max This is great, I love woodwinds. This was my favorite part! I know midi doesn't do ANY music justice, but I think it's especially true with your piece. The eerie nature and sparse texture you were going for was really cool, and the winds can really bring it to life. But the midi makes it kind of drag, whereas I think a live performance would really highlight the silence between the notes and well as the shrill colors the instruments are capable of. Speaking of the bossa nova feel you were going for, I really hoped you developed that more. The slow part before it felt like a prelude, building to something faster. When it came, it was over so quickly, then back to the slower section. The ABA works, but I think it should be an "aBa" instead of an "AbA". Maybe there was a time issue, or maybe it's just hard to know how much of a chunk your piece is of a slow or fast section. It's fine as is, these would all be thoughts on future music, but that's the impression I got. Wonderful stuff here, you should share more when you write it! Don't be afraid to poke around the forum too, lots of great people around here; they'd love to hear thoughts from you. Be sure to vote too!

Very nice! Becomes very impressive knowing you haven't studied any instruments Reminds me a bit of a Bach fugue I would highly suggest you study some basic theory, it's not as boring or hard as it seems And I think you could get some very good pieces if you do Good job :3

I share the black cat, a work inspired by the story by Edgar Allan Poe. In The Black Cat, Edgar Allan Poe constructs a deeply disturbing tale of moral degradation, crime, and the weight of guilt. The story is narrated in the first person by a man who, from the beginning, warns the reader that he is about to tell a disturbing and unbelievable story. This choice of narrator is key to understanding the story: everything we know is filtered through the protagonist's mind, creating a sense of uncertainty and unease from the outset. The reader is confronted not only by the narrated events but also by the internal struggle of a man who has lost control of himself. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ePnpv39D7JGpKSfpBJl4u_exPrjCPx2D/view?usp=sharing
