November 16, 200619 yr Hi!This piece is about fighting yourself through a dark and jucy forest to find the beauty of all that is warm and healing but you suddenly realize that it only exists for a few moments and you start to feel sad for it and that's when it disappears forever... or at least this was the original concept.... Enjoy! YouSendIt: The Leader in File Delivery.
November 18, 200619 yr Author Please anyone write something about this piece!Is it any good?I'm curious...
November 18, 200619 yr Ok, I'll have a go, except how can one "enjoy" a piece on these lines except in sadness? Beauty so elusive...? It's moody; brooding harmonies and progressions, foreboding to say the least. It's probably more game than film. I once ventured into the Forest of Dean which was near blackout from the canopy and I was more gripped by the nuances of silence; spine prickling and uneasy either to go on or turn around. I thought the opening was an excellent portrayal of the mood. When it came in, the percussion always seemed a little loud but relief from the tension at 2:42 was welcome. Very good build up. Just my opinion, the percussion might be more subtle. I wasn't too happy with the background (forest utterings, presumably) that started up about 3:10. But the transition to the recap at 4:46 approx was well done. This recap/ending might have lasted a little longer - a longish fade-out? Perhaps some of the preceding music might be tightened up to compensate (if you're working down to a time limit)...the bit between 3:10 and 4:40 clings to the same harmony for a long time. Still, you are the composer and if it's what you want, it's your call. Yes, I enjoyed it in a brittle uneasy way. It's the stuff of nightmares. It worked. It's more deeply sad a story than you've been able to express in your introduction. Yep, listened again and I really think the ending needs to be a little longer, perhaps adding some new chords that meander in the same way - maybe another 15-25 seconds' worth, then fade out. M
November 19, 200619 yr Author Thanks!Then it is an experience!Or at least i hope so..I really just made up the story about the forest,you're just right when you say it's something else...i don't mind if it's uneasy or moody because it was meant that way,i really hope it makes sense,to me it is something very personal...i'm going to reconsider the ending if you say so but i'm not going to change that long-long harmony cos that was my idea:long harmony with tiny changes,slight transforming... Thanks for the review!!!!
