Computer Programmer needed for Music Jotter
VovaTrykoz replied to chopin's topic in Advertisements and Member Announcements
Hi, I would be interested in something like this. I am currently a college student in a CS program and wouldn’t mind a part-time job on the side. I have not actually worked with JavaScript, but I have worked with C#, C++ and C and I also have some TypeScript and XML familiarity. I view myself as a quick learner so I don’t think I would have huge problems understanding JavaScript considering my baggage. All in all, this seems to be an interesting project for someone who has interest in both music composition and programming. I find that the two have quite a bit in common. Therefore, I would love to discuss this project in more detail! -

Hi everyone! I wanted to share this piece that I wrote called "Enchanted Forest", isnpired by the music for fantasy games. I wanted to describe a dangerous walk through an enchanted forest. I chose to represent that by having the melody and the harmony not stay in one key, but rather switch between different keys and modes, as if the melody "got lost" in the forest. Any feedback on everything (from composition to mixing and mastering) is appreciated!

@PeterthePapercomPoser Thanks for taking your time to listen and sharing your thoughts! After your comment I realized that some people might want to look at the score, so I'll attach it here:

Hi, This is a piece I wrote inspired by desert imagery and it features a combination of tradtionall and symphonic instruments. Just thought I'd drop this one here. Any feedback and/or comments are appreciated! EDIT: The score for the piece is in the down in the "reply" section of the forum post

Need Help with Movie Production
VovaTrykoz replied to chopin's topic in Announcements and Technical Problems
@chopin Hi Mike, I am interested in helping you create music for your promo video. I could send you a few deoms of the promo-type music, but I’d much rather try to write something original for your product specifically. Maybe if you already have some styles or instrumentation in mind? If so, I could write something in accordance with your specifications. I could also write music for your clip first and you can see if you like it or not. That is of course, if you already have some footage. Also, I could probably help you with the MusicJotter. I don’t know which language you are using, but I do have extensive C# knowledge. If that’s the one, I might be interested in joining the development of this product So in general, would you be interested in me trying to create a demo specifically for you and maybe scoring your promo clip? Alternatively, I can just send you a portfolio with my commercially-oriented music. Best Regards, Vova -
Fluctuations: an experimental track
VovaTrykoz replied to VovaTrykoz's topic in Jazz, Band, Pop, Rock
@Rabbival507 Thanks for your feedback! -
Hi everyone! I am not 100% sure which category does this exactly track fit the most in, but I think this one could work. This is a small experiment I did. I wanted to write something different from my usual works. Among other things, I used some microtonality in this piece, which is the first time I have actually used it. Any thoughs or feedback on anything, from instrumentation to mixing are greatly appreciated!

Feedback for my "Fantasy Suite"
VovaTrykoz replied to VovaTrykoz's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
@Bělásek Thanks for the feedback! Yes, you are right, it is 3 trumpets that play the melody in unison. Your comment also made me realize that it migh be good to include the score as well, so here it comes attached to this message! -
Hi everyone! I've been thinking about writing some stuff for fantasy inspired settings (like WoW, Skyrim etc.). I've come up with these ideas and there were quite a few of them, and thus I decided to put them all together in one suite. Any feedback is appreciated!

Spatium: A piece for orchestra
VovaTrykoz replied to VovaTrykoz's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
Thank you for your feedback! I am really glad that my piece prompted you to imagine a story like this! -
Hi everyone! I just wrote this piece for an orchestra that I was thinking could be used as a theme to some kind of sci-fi adventure set in space. Have a listen to it! Any comments and/or feedback are greatly appreciated since I am a self-taught composer! I'll attach the PDF with the score to the post. Here is the piece itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2Z3axY6f_Y Hope you'll enjoy it!

Hi, Here is a little track that I composed. Any feedback would be really appreciated. The idea should be pretty clear from the title. I've also attached the score, just in case

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Hi, I wrote this piece with an intention of taking just five simple notes (which are the first five notes of the lick by the way) and turn it into a memorable motif. Here is the result: I would appreciate any feedback, not only on the music but on the production part as well (eg. mixing). I'll attach a score on this post, just in case. Finally, there is another piece that I wrote recently and which I published in the "Large Ensemble" section. However, now I feel it might have been more appropriate to post it here. So, if you have time and you haven't seen that piece go check that out as well: https://www.youngcomposers.com/t39092/bloody-mercenaries-feedback-or-thoughts-on-my-piece/. I would appreciate it a lot. Again, I would really love to hear your thoughts!

@sabiansoldier @Gustav Johnson Thanks for your feedback! I just wanted to address those neighbour tones. One of the ideas behind this track was to portray a morally ambiguous or morally gray person, thus the word "mercenaries" in the title. And one of the ways I decided to use to convey this impression was through contrasting minor and major chord tones. The harmony behind the melody B (1:05-1:40 and 2:50-3:25) is actually Am-D5-Am-F5-Am-E. Those power chords are used deliberately, because this way the melody is the only thing that defines if a chord is a major or minor one. And by switching it from major to minor and back I wanted to represent this sense of moral ambiguity. I'll attach an excerpt from Tenor and Bass parts from this composition to make my point clearer But anyway, I appreciate your criticism a lot! Just wanted to present my train of thought behind those chromatic neighbour tones.

Sonata for Viola and Orchestra
VovaTrykoz replied to VovaTrykoz's topic in Orchestral and Large Ensemble
You see, this is where my lack of proper muscial education comes in. To begin with, I genuinely struggle when it comes to naming my own pieces: even when I have an outlined idea or a plot, like in this case. I decided to go for sonata since, when interpreted literally it "means a piece played as opposed to a cantata (Latin and Italian cantare, "to sing"), a piece sung", according to wikipedea at least. It is obviously not the best way to do any research, but that is what I went for. Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! -
Hi everyone, I've been composing music for 3,5 years, but it was not until recently I decided to start uploading my music to the internet. I've never received any musical education, I had to educate myself. The first piece I decided to upload is the "Sonata for Viola and Orchestra". Please note, that even though it says sonata in the title, I wasn't sticking to any particular composition form. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me on both my orchestration and composition and your thoughts in general. For the story behind the piece, you can check the description of the video attached here. My idea behind this composition was as follows: The motif that represents life gets introduced in the first part of the composition in a major key (0:00-0:56). Then the piece switches to a minor key and a "loss" motif start playing by a solo viola, representing the losses during the war. After the second repetition of the motif (1:00-2:24), the life motif comes back now in a minor key representing that life has changed for the worse (2:24-3:15). The loss motif is then repeated again and the piece concludes on an unstable minor add9 chord to show the uncertainty of the situation (3:15-4:30). The piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4jGyzvWlmY&lc=z221wrhqgxznjvopt04t1aokgbir4xpajzdb5agsljhlrk0h00410 The score is attached here Edit: Uploaded the piece here as well. For the history behind it, you should still check the link Edit 2: Replaced the previous pdf file with the new one, since I found some mistakes (had incorrect crescendo markings around bars 10-11)

Ok, guys, thank you all for such a positive and inspiring feedbacks. @Marc O'Callaghan Thank you for pointing out correct names for the strings techniques markings and overall detailed feedback. It was tremolo at first, but I found out that legato is much more suitable. Unfortunately, I forgot to make changes in the score. About the mess with violins at m.25 - I actually thought that it would be hard for violin players to jump from that upper G down to that C on a G string, so I gave that part to 2nd Violins. But I might be just overcomplicating things and such a jump isn't that hard. Creating humorous track was exactly what I was planning when I was creating D 60 - I'm glad that I've managed to do it so you and @Ken320 actually noticed that. And yep, you are right about Hans Zimmer - his tracks inspired me for creating D 55. @Maarten Bauer Thanks for the advice, I will definitely do this. I'm also thinking of taking online courses in Berklee Universty. @LostSamurai I honestly never though that someone will react to my pieces in such a positive way. Thank you for inspiring me for doing more. @Adrian Quince Thank you for advising me a list of composers to listen. I'm listening to their pieces while writing this))). I'm glad you all enjoyed my compositions. Regards, Vova
