Onaleworhina

Featured Replies

Onaleworhina is a short piece written for three guitars. Hoping to venture outside of my own style of writing, I looked to Debussy and Ravel for inspiration and reference, challenging myself to experiment with unfamiliar harmonies and progressions. Some of the difficulties I experienced while writing this piece were form, continuation and development; I struggled to fill the minute-and-half with music. I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Please also point out any awkward fingerings/pitch combinations for the guitar.

I really enjoyed listening to this piece. But I think that you should to search more realistic guitar software. Thanks for the contribution. -Minoxor.

This is a very creative exploration of impressionistic harmony and progression. Keep writing this stuff, Debussy and Ravel were great. :)

Since you ask about guitar fingerings, converting to TAB would be an easier way to see, as most guitarists are not classical guitarists, but from what I can see, the only exceptionally tricky thing you've done is the parellel 6ths. That would be pretty difficult to play.

Cheers!

I love the harmony! I think the form and repition gets a little boring after hearing the opening motive 4 or 5 times. Other than that, I think it's a wonderful piece.

I think this piece is rad! It's nice and fresh to my ears and I would have loved for it to have been longer.

It sounds so completely relaxed, and laid-back!

--I love how meticulously you've added articulations! If the midi's sound quality weren't so iffy, I wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't played by a human ;) Very nice job!

--The chord progression is so floaty and warm: it lends to the atmosphere of being on some sort of exotic, paradisaic island of some sort :happy:

--I almost wish there was some bitter thrown in to this sweet, to give it more pull and contrast. Some wistfulness drizzled into this piece would serve as a wonderful spice or accent to the piece.

Thanks for sharing! :D
