movements for brass and electronics

hi, this is my new piece, just fresh hot

called it 'question dance'

''cause it consists of rhythmical movements which seem to question/doubt themselves

cheers!

Sounds good...any chance of a score? Or more info/background - what software did you use? Are the electronics live, or is it essentially a tape?

hei, thanks for a response :)

no score, i can't write notes (well, i could, but know not how:)...

it's just prerecorded patterns of brass

and treated in some ways with dear old fruity loops

some inner patterns of movements are self generated

so it could be 'mechanically live' (excuse me for sort of oximoron) in some way :)

though when it first began I had my doubts, I actually ended up enjoying it, the part around 3:40 was awesome. It's not often you hear a program like fruity loops being used like this which is sort of neat since I'm a fruity loops user myself. Good job.

hello, wade,

thanks for nice words

keep making fruity sound different than it's usually is :)

Spacey. I wish this had a score so it could be dissected, but alas none.

I very much enjoyed this, and though it didn't seem much a dance to me, it was very interesting the way it was composed. :D Reminds me of some stuff I from Ives.

well, i thought it to be sort of dedication to morton feldman. though, ives is one of my favourite composers as well.

and it's question dance - that is dance-like movements questioning themselves, delaying, deleting, replacing, so it's never a full dance. it could've been one, but it hasn't. why? i don't know.

?

Hi pliorius, I liked your piece, especially the way you manipulated the timbres, despite sometimes they forget "to much" their provenience, especially if you call the work for "brass" and electronics. The only thing I can say is that the autopan effect is to much reiterated; it tires the listening and the given "sound-from-every/nowhere" should be very balanced to give dramaturgic movement to the sound spatialization.

Oh! ...and the coda is really, really nice.

Go on with your work! Do you plan to do something else like this piece?

thanks, kublai, it's my first piece using this kind of compositional technique, so nothing strange it could've been bit off the track, but it's new waters for me, and i did enjoy making it (which is seldom for me). i have some thought of creating more pieces like this - was thinking of a piano, strings and so on, but i think i'll postpone it,''cause now i want to finish my other projects, so yeah, maybe next autumn i'll stick around with 'moving' like this for a longer time.

if alcohol won't kill me :))

This is very calming for me.

Awesome job.

Wow. I felt like I was being abducted by UFO's while listening to that. I felt spacey and lost. Wow.

Wow.

hey, thanks people!

and it is calming, it should be heard like that...you see, it's not by accident i called it question dance. what we get when we question something that can't be easily answered? - uneasiness, we become worried. and then somehow (because the answer may never come), we have nothing left-just to let it move by itself, in a way - dance.
