"The factory"


Recommended Posts

Hello everybody!

 

Here is my piece called "Factory". So basically, the title says everything about the idea. In this piece, I try to convey the "chaos" of XXI century, to be exact, work in the factory. So I thought the best way to recreate the feeling of it would be to use a few minimalism techniques. 

 

Hope you like it and enjoy!

 

I attach audio file and notes in pdf file, you can find all information in there.

Well, you put your minimalism to good work, as it were. 😀Slowly evolving textures, nice clean instrumentation. The quick jumps remind me of two films that evolve into modern industrial factories, Samsara and Baraka. Check them out if you haven't already. Oh, your PDF was empty.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

I haven't, so I definitely will.

Hm. Somehow the PDF file opens for me.

I can open the PDF, so maybe it was a temporary glitch with the site.  I'd suggest you replace some of the short notes followed by short rests with staccato notes.  It will be easier for the players to read at speed and will come out the same.  The piano part could also use a little attention as far as which notes are assigned to which hand.  As it's written now, it will be hard for a pianist to actually play because their hands will keep getting in each other's way.  You also might want to turn up piano track a little bit in relation to the other parts.  Maybe it's just my headphones, but it's not coming through very clearly.  (I have really terrible little ear buds, so it may just be me).  

This is definitely a busy, mechanical sounding environment.  Did you consider adding percussion?  That would certainly be evocative of a factory to my ear, but it does mean finding another good player for a performance.  

Nice job!

First of all, I like the piece!

That said I don't see how minimalist techniques can create chaos and how factory is connected to chaos. I think factory work is pretty darn organised, wich I hear in your music. Can you explain? Or was it a ironic use of the word?

It would be a quite interesting survey how a composer can create chaos out of minimalistic techniques in a composition! I get inspiration from you 🙂
