April 13, 20232 yr Hi all, Slightly bummed my piece didn’t place in the competition, but it received a live premiere two nights ago. So, cannot complain. Pretty decent premiere, too! It’s just a fun work. Didn’t try to push the bounds too much. Wrote the music in 3 days and took another 2 days to engrave and edit. Just supposed to be loud and fast. I think the ending section is a pretty cool ending, though. I wish the drummer went a bit crazier. I told him like 3 times in rehearsals, but he wanted something mellower. We also swapped DB for electric bass. Video: Score: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9i2abuvvcwvltb8/Blast Off! - Full score.pdf?dl=0
April 19, 20232 yr Hi Evan. It's wonderful that you got it premiered. I think the only problem this version has is that either the place it was recorded or that the audio device that recorded it didn't do the justice it deserved. It might just be my end though, I do not own top-notch listening devices, but the digital version had better sounding in terms of "volume" or "loudness", but well you got real sounds in exchange, and it probably sounded much better than the digital version in the stage, right? Congratulations in any case, man! Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.
April 19, 20232 yr Congrats on the live performance! Your entry was fantastic, just the bar was so high.
