In Bainen's Hold

For a video of me playing this on the piano go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVjPOdkS5tYThis is a solo piano composition based on a part of my book, which involves a character losing it a bit. It's on of my more contemporary piece's, based around two chords that when put together make some really pretty dissonance. It also uses the practise pedal about half way through to create an interesting effect. Sorry about the creaking piano by the way, this is a very... 'organic' performance *cough*

I too find your dissonance here beautiful, in a strange, eerie sort of way. I think you really nailed the mood you were going for here :happy: I thought the tremors in the middle were a nice touch -- while you were performing, I was worried you were going to over do it, but I don't think you went over-board. The switch afterwards to the high-keys was good.

I don't really have much else to say, honestly :dunno: But I did enjoy listening -- I subscribed to your channel and added the video to the "Favorites" list on YouTube :)

Thanks for sharing! :phones:

I agree with Serge, I think you went for an atmospheric-type piece, and it turned out pretty good! I think that it would be more effective of you had some sort of buildup throughout the piece, like a rhythmic ostinato that gets louder and louder, until it "explodes" into something different before returning to the eerie beginning.

Thanks for the comments guys. Quite please with this composition myself, it all started out as that opening theme and I built it all from there. Handed this into uni the other day as well to be marked as part of my coursework, lets hope my lecturers like it too! thanks again.
