Atonal concerto for 74 instruments

Beyond consonant music madness awaits.

Wow. Hmm..... I don't understand what this piece is for/about, or what Eftos is... But I like the music! It's actually atonal for most of it, which was nice to hear. There are a lot of great colors in it. I'm curious about the instrumentation also. Is this meant for a live performance?

Like oingo I'd be very interested in seeing the score for instrumentation and I'd be interested in the way it's orchestrated, very great piece though.

This is NOT atonal. Sounds more like a mahlerian string Adagio superimposed with serial rows, occasional atmospheric film music, a few Xenakis/Nono like blocks of sound. But at heart is a very romantic piece - skewered. Interesting in a Ivesian sort of way - but I don't hear much of an organizing principle except pastiche. Again interesting but not sure if successful - though I thought the final cadence both humorous due to its sudden "resolution" or out of place. But again not sure how successful you were - unless you meant this as a joke.

I would love to see the score!

A thoroughly enjoyable sound world! Thank you for sharing it with us. I rate it 'tongue-tingling pumpkin' on the Snaily Scale Of Vegetabular Justice.

Rather than "The Nothing" to me, it sounds more like "The Everything" with all its different 'sound gardens'!! Though in its heart, I know it represents those unrelenting feelings of "The Nothing". It finishes as soon as it starts, like I had just opened a door into the head of a rather demented bumble bee - thoughts racing with a tragic romance, the stresses of work and his progressively worse psychotic episodes - and closed it just as promptly!!!

What's more, the other tracks on your archive.org page were just as atmospheric, chaotic, and downright delicious....

See you soon!
