Alex Weidmann Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) 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!

Omicronrg9 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
