Mountain Drone

This is a piece that I wrote to explore one of the specific instruments in my sound library- Lead 2 synthesizer (sawtooth). Maybe it could be performed on some sort of electric organ?It's simple, I guess, but I particularly wanted to explore the instrument's capabilities of warm harmony and pitch shifting.Comments are being begged for in the streets. Enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Seems us YCers sometimes forget about things, like reviewing :happy: .

In any case, I'd have to say you used an interesting sample - I think that sequenced, it could produce an interesting sound. As for the music; I don't know if you're familiar with minimalism - your score is very reminiscent of that current. I don;t know if that was your intent, but the repeated chords and rhythms call it to mind :phones: .

Spot on, it's minimalism! Too bad I don't have any prizes except this imaginary pack of cookies...

Anyways, thanks for listening!

Cool work! I really liked it. I don't know about you, but for some reason, the sound sample isn't one of my favorites. However, in this case I did enjoy it quite a bit!

I'd say it didn't need quite as many repeats, but if that's your intent with the minimalism, then by all means, keep it.

It's probably just my orchestrally oriented mind, but I can hear this as an orchestra piece. I could come up with some sort of arrangement, if you'd like.... though, as 4 hands this might work... maybe!

Great work! I enjoyed it a lot :toothygrin:

Heckel

Oh and you're a substitute for me. I'm a heckelphone, you're a bass clarinet. :P

Thanks for the comments- maybe it could be for orchestra, but it's in quite an awkward key... tune them basses down! :P

And it's a little ambiguous on my profile- I play bassoon, an used to play clarinet (and saxes, but hey). Not until recently did I start playing bass clarinet, and it's pretty hard... derp.

I liked the piece. I really liked the layered melodies, they sound original and reveal your good taste. I only think that you said it all by minute 2 musically.
