Monarcheon Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Hi, everyone! This is for @Left Unexplained's Christmas Music event! The piece is based off a PC set (025), formed from the first four notes of the original tune, and twisted in wild ways. Thought I might add a little variety to the pot. Hope you enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tónskáld Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) Well, that was a ride, and that's no joke! Not my preferred style of music, but the articulations kept it interesting. But THE BEST PART was getting to hear you play that live!!! I loved that! Edit: I didn't hear her play that live in person. Just on the recording. Like the rest of you heard her.

KJthesleepdeprived Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I am in no way the sort of person who could possibly draw any connection between this and your alleged source material, but it was pretty fun to listen to. I'm not familiar with all the extended techniques possible on... well on any instrument. So I loved hearing them in this! So many little touches that I wouldn't think of! Very creative and beautifully played! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 That certainly was a deconstruction of the theme -not quite what I thought you would do with it. I love the microtones that you display here and would be highly interested in chatting with you on writing with them for strings! The harmonics are also a nice touch. Nice to see someone use them more creatively. Good work here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Unexplained Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 wow.. I don't even know what to say. That gave me goosebumps. The fact that you played it for us made it way more special. Thank you for this contribution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Szulc Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Awesome. The aural result is quite strong, and, although veeeery distantly, I can hear the remniscent "Silent Night", which is a very nice touch. Also props for the recording. I hope my family doesn't mind listening to this on christmas eve... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I think this is quite beautiful. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Y'all could like the video too 😉 Jk, I'm glad you all found it at the very least intriguing! It was super fun to write! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Brode Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Very intriguing and exciting. I could see it being used in a film score. It's a little different than the version of 'Silent Night' they play on our local oldies station 😉, but I liked it a lot. Really nice to hear a live recording, too. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoYin Cheung Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 That's very special! Definitely gives the "Silent" vibe... and eerie touch, haha. You've just made a different Christmas for me. I wonder if further experimentation can be done for this particular piece, like recording it at a tunnel/metro, or the lo-fi effect? Anyways, Merry Christmas! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting ideas. As much as I do enjoy added effects it certainly does make some music less accessible. The low-fi effect might be a little hard to implement, at least in a strictly compositional way, since Forte never dealt with microtonal pitch class sets haha. Can you imagine??
