November 27, 20214 yr Today I tried to go to a bare minimum in music in which things still make sense to me (I know you can push this far more further). What do you think? It's hard to make something this simple which is still valuable after listening a couple of times. My respect for Pärt grew today... Attend mp3.mp3
November 28, 20214 yr I like it. I don't mean to diminish it in any way by saying this, quite the opposite actually, but it reminds me of some of the Minecraft soundtrack songs. Creating something simple yet interesting is very hard. I loved the chords from 2:07 onward.
November 28, 20214 yr Author Yes it is hard but thanks for your compliment! I get where your Minecraft idea comes from! Although this is hardly a melody, more like melodic fragments/cells. If someone is to play it I ask him or her to give every note it's own subtle quality and weight. A bit like you hear in performance of the works of Morton Feldman.
November 29, 20214 yr As the Maestro said himself: "I make one sound, and then I move on to the next". -Morton Feldman I listened to his Piano and String Quartet, fascinating piece, especially toward the end.
