October 26, 20223 yr Hi all. I've come up with a few ideas here for alto flute, and several other instruments, plus percussion. Not quite sure what to do with them? Any suggestions welcome! Edited October 26, 20223 yr by Alex Weidmann
October 27, 20223 yr The first 30 secs could work as an introduction to something bigger, exotic, with bongos or something like that (I kinda like using bongos in compositions). The other alto flute section that starts around 1:40 could also fit in the same piece as a second theme, not sure. Last secs of percussion sound like caves but that's only because of the echo I guess. Not much but my two cents mate. Good luck!
January 20, 20233 yr I don't know why, I find this very oriental for me. Lots of time gaps and pointilistic percussion here signify the mono no aware as in Japanese poetry. I think this aesthetic principle for this piece should be different with the traditional one: not to develop the motive or themes or something, but just embrace it and have it at the moment. Just let the alto flute, different percussion play occasionally and let audience enjoy the silence between them will be really great. The temporal aspect is crucial to this piece more than the western one. Henry
