  1. So maybe I could elaborate on some beautiful world they hypothetically come from. Or maybe decode a hidden message from them and hide it in the piece.
  2. Thank you so much, advice like that is just what i was looking for. I love making sounds that are physically representative of real life things. such as the part near the end where i have instruments popping up and going to the backround immediately, much like fireflies. Maybe i could make a small flute melody to represent a little baby and have it start coming in overwhelmingly in different parts. or i could take it a different direction and have someone play a very dull undeveloped saxophone sound (because babies have no lights) and give it a back and forth duet with something very gorgeous like a euphonium. I think the second idea would be very easy to tie in to what i have as well. I'm having so many ideas. thank you so much. you're awesome and beautiful.
  3. I've been writing a piece for a small concert band, and i really just don't know where to take it (hence it being in the incomplete section) It's inspired by fireflies (which i've been weary about as an inspiration but i had some good ideas so i forged on ahead) and the synth sound is meant to be wine glasses being played by percussionists. the first problem is that there's a section in the piece where its mostly empty except for a vibraphone, (starting around 2 minutes) and i wanted to write something for the flutes to sound like little flashing firefly lights flitting about, but im having trouble coming up with something i like. But my main problem is i have no idea where to take the piece after everything you hear. i don't want it to crescendo to an ending yet, and i don't quite have inspirational ideas that i can bring into music, so im just a little lost and thought i would ask for advice.
