Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Hi @veps, This is a good piece to experiment with the extended techniques. I like the glissando in it. Hopefully the music is organic both in its motive and its metaphor of a plant growing too! Thx for sharing! Henry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJFOBOE Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 You sure do create a wonderful colorful texture and aural context ... interestingly the repetitious nature of the work does not become static at all and holds one interest to the conclusion of the work. It knits together like a well made glove. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterthePapercomPoser Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Quite an atmospheric piece making great use of quintal harmonies and meaningful and justified use of glissandi! And the ensemble playing this seems to do quite a good job and stays well in tune with itself! My only critique is that the piece maybe takes a long time in getting started but that also allows you to build up a certain suspense and expectation for what occurs later. Although I don't know that the piece really needs any revisions. You should feel lucky to have gotten such a great performance of your work! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Rich Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Congrats on the performance! I'm generally not a fan of modern music, but I like the programmatic approach here, and the music is very effective in expressing the concept. Putting an image in the listner's mind helps create a context for the other-worldly sounds of the extended techniques. You are clearly very talented!
