Hello everyone. I have sad news. After much deliberation I decided that I want to quit composition and music overall. I lost the joy in creating my own pieces and I don't want to earn a living with music. I'm truly burnt out and I only like being a passive listener, without even trying to analyze the pieces. So, most likely I won't ever use this account ever again and for most people I will disappear. I unlisted all my videos on YouTube, that channel doesn't define me anymore and I want to move on. I want to say that I had a really good time in this community, specially at the start when I joined. I want to thank @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu and many others for supporting so many young musicians and keeping this forum alive. Also I'm glad I met @Theodore Servin and @Gwendolyn Przyjazna, who are good friends of mine now. I hope this forum will keep on going and helping new composers get a good basis that allows them to offer an artistic/cultural contribution to society. Best luck to everyone! Take care Sincerely, -Ivan

Also, I am going to Poland soon.

A little update. Now working on the six pieces "The Adorned Zither" Henry

The bamboo is me

Hi. I am back to existing.

just updated my pieces catalogue in the "about me" section

Am too tired to review anything recently...

My profile picture explains what is "風乍起，吹皺一池春水" [Wind suddenly starts blowing. It causes ripples in a springtime pond of water]

Beautiful pic!

Thx to Peter for changing my pfp! I'm a complete idiot on anything techincal lol.

Finally find the vintage color when I first joined YC lol

Since I don't know where to post this, I'll just post it here. I've actually been working on a revision of the Alula Variations, and so far, I've done a ton of progress. New transitions, replacing (what I think are) bad variations, enhancing already existing variations (haven't revised the ending yet though). I'm very excited to share it sometime in the near future!

Wow you make a really detailed catalogue of your own works! Henry

New unnamed.mp3 I'm drafting a new orchestral piece… Let's see if you can figure out what I'm trying to do

Henry, I listened to the 1st and 2nd movements of your 2nd String Quartet on YouTube and I think you should post all the movements on here and I'll review them! Peter

I got all these emotions I don't know what to do with I thought it was all a myth Never thought something like this could happen to a girl like me Now you got me down on my knees Baby we was like Bonnie and Clyde Now you got me thinking bout suicide I got all these emotions I don't know what to do with I can't decide what's wrong what's right \

Interesting. I’m in too

Welcome back my friend!

Now this is a major success for me: my tone poem El Cadejos, Op. 38 has been selected among other 5 orchestral pieces, to be read (and quite possibly premiered) by my country's National Symphony Orchestra - a chance I've been waiting for over 18 years. The reading is scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday, next week. Already hoping for the best!

Far from impressing an audience or showcasing compositional prowess, the goal of composition for me is nothing less than personal evolution - mental, affective, as well as spiritual. The audience is merely privileged to be allowed to partake in the revelation of metaphysical insights from this personal evolutionary process of being. Even the composer is privileged to be able to achieve that process, to have the wisdom to discern its necessity for his being, and to seek the conditions (like solitude, withdrawal from distractions, etc) that enable him to achieve it.

Hello everyone! Been a couple of days since my last upload. Where's everyone at on their latest compositions? I'm proud to say I'm close to reaching 200 1st species counterpoint. Also one of the forums older members, Olov, has come back after nearly two years! Keep the new music coming folks, and try to reviw at least once per day. Remember, review will get you more reviews, lol. Also, anyone reading anything good? Literature and analysis are important to all who wish grow...
