May 22, 20223 yr Hi all. Here's a piece I started writing at the end of last year. Like my other piece, "The Deep Ocean", I've used a combination of orchestral and electronic instruments. This time I used a wider range of synth textures, including Dream Pad, Free Lead, and Blade Sweeper. The piece has an ABA structure, with a Baroque style bridge back to the recapitulation of the A theme. I'm interested to know whether the Baroque section sounds similar to other pieces from that era? Far as I know it's original, and it came to me as a natural development of my B theme. There's always a niggling doubt though, that I might've accidentally reproduced something I've heard many years ago! I'd like to think the piece flows naturally; but perhaps the recapitulation sounds a bit contrived, like it's been bolted onto the end?
May 24, 20223 yr Very relaxing A section. The chorus is cool, and the transition to the B isn't awkward to my ears, not sure if I'd call it Baroque but I like it. The end doesn't reeeeally convince me but I suppose you were aiming for the kind of fading out effect in which a small passage is repeated with less and less intensity. In summary, nice, calming piece. Thank you again for sharing it! Kind regards ^^!
May 25, 20223 yr Author Many thanks for listening. With the ending, I had in mind the "Game Of Thrones" theme tune, which ends with a soft repetition on something like a dulcimer or mandolin.
May 31, 20223 yr I love the beginning. You really achieved the effect of a sun-dappled forest. I also really like the Baroque section which reminds me of a Bach fugue in places and I wish you'd taken it further. But I'm not sure the 2 fit well together and I thought the ending was too weak.
May 31, 20223 yr Author Many thanks for your feedback, and kind words. I might try to expand the Baroque section, and rewrite the ending at some point.
