Ken320 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Each of these pieces are one minute long. Each was an entry to a competition and only the first one made the cut. The Coup was aired as part of Vox Novus' 60x60 competition where 60 works are chosen out of I don't know how many on the subject of Radio. So it consists of material I borrowed from the library of old radio shows along with my own music mashup. The second and third were for another competition with the subjects Halloween and Death, respectively. It's hard to give something one minute long a musical arc, but it's an interesting challenge in any case.

Luis Hernández Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 i love this pieces! They create distinct atmospheres. And I like the way you mix classic and modern instruments, and techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I do really like the first one. Just because of the time limit it felt the most arc-like, as opposed to the other two which felt just a bit stilted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yes, you're right. The form really needs music that is somewhat busy to compress everything down to scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Bauer Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I love it! In particular the first two. The combination of voices and music is so smooth in the first piece! The melody of the bassoon is wonderful and it reminds me of the opening of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps. That's probably caused by the combination of high bassoon and low bass clarinet. Although I am not such a big fan of the last one like of the first two, I did like the contrast between the simplicity of the choir (and later the strings) and the complexity of the piano.

Jan-Peter de Jager Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Very nice. The first one really felt as a 'world-in-itself', it felt to be longer then one minute (that's really positive! It wasn't boring at all!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
