a forgotten aqueduct, crumbling slowly


Recommended Posts

The second movement of my piano suite. It'll be released as a full piece in about a week or so, but this is my second favorite movement in and of itself! I know it's based off of some prime form I was working off of, but I don't remember what it is now 😅

Whatever made you think of the title? Did you set out with the title and try to visualize it? Or did you think of the title after composition?

Formalist as I am, the title is mostly there as an interpretive suggestion (i.e. I, just like the audience, am free to interpret the music). It's not programmatic music so it's what I see when I listen to it 🙂

 I hear familiar chords stated with sophistication and subtlety.

 

Agreed, it's very remarkable how you've taken often-used chords and managed to make them sound otherworldly and expansive, not just through the literal timbre range of the piano, but also through thoughtfully constructed poly-rhythms. It'd be all too easy for a piece to sound too loose and unfocused (even as a purposefully abstract kind of piece) when there's constant changes in note values on every beat, but you really managed to add a feeling of freedom to the music without sounding like it's just meandering for the sake of meandering, and it shows a lot of care and consideration went into how you wrote the piece.

 

Very beautiful, atmospheric piece of music. Thanks for sharing with us! 😄 (It'll be awesome to be able to hear the rest of the suite!)
