dark violin

Featured Replies

A short violin tune. I tried to make it sound very-very dark this time.

(ugly) score added

I did really enjoy the tune in its simplicty, although I felt a little bit like it was going circle around the halfway point, maybe? I'd say I couldn't really feel a strong "drive" to make the tune keep flowing. As far as I can hear, the piano mostly has a role of harmonic support or follows the main tune. It could have been interesting to give it more melodic independance at some point of the song maybe?

I'm not sure what you mean by dark. It sure sounded melancholic to me, so if that's what you wanted, it is achieved!

You could also upload the pdf of your score. It would help you get more technical advices.

Overall, it was a very pleasant tune to listen to for me 🙂

Very pleasant tune, easy to listen to and the harmony was brilliant; varied, gave the piece tensions and release. But as for Coxi, it came over desolate and pensive rather than dark. The ending is beautiful, bringing just a little warmth to it.

I have no musical criticism. Given its length, 3 minutes, you get some remarkable development into it. I presume it was a live performance - if not, you have great skills in rendering and some damned good samples!

Very well done and a nice listen.

This is really impressive. Dramatic and sorrow. I think the word 'dark' expresses a different musicality.

I find your pieces always successful in terms of melody, you are talented in this
Thanks for sharing

Simple yet beautiful and also seems quite playable (I daresay even I with my very rusty violin skills could play this).  Well done!

Thanks, got it! I'll add more melodic variation next time.

Will do! The score is probably going to be extra ugly, though.

Oh, relative to my other stuff it is veeery dark 😄

Thanks! It's samples, but I do try my very best to make it sound real.
