It's an unfinished piece. I have thouseands of unfinished pieces lol. I worked in a game project (called Destiantion) with some guys as a composer , but than Destination became a private project, This would have been the main theme but it wont, so I upload it here. N-joy. :) Project Destination EDIT: I didnt upload the score since the piece is unfinished and I'm so lazy that I wont make from sibelius score scratches a proper pdf score if I dont have to :D But if you need I'll make it...one day :D

"I had one fine composer tell me this once: "Using theory is like putting the cart in front of the horse. That is, theory is a collection of patterns caused by music throughout history. These hard and fast "rules" that we have in theory create music of a particular style." Whoever started this "hard and fast rules" crap relating to music theory is on my hit list. I'm so tired of hearing it being conveyed this way. So, I'll just add that there are no hard and fast rules in music. If you want to evoke a mood in the listener that a particular stylistic pattern happens to help with, then theory is immensely useful. This "putting the cart in front of the horse" business is such a massive over-generalization of what we do when we use theory to aid us in pulling something off in our music. Theory can be part of the compositional process, and there's NOTHING wrong with that.

You mean to tell me "post-tonal" is some kind of style? Isn't it like calling "animals" a type of animal? Understanding tendencies is one thing, calling things rules is something else. A tendency is what you observe from other composers, a rule is what you can follow when you write. If you understand tendencies, you can make your own specific rules if you want to emulate things and that's all there is to it. Where did you get that Babbitt figured out any kind of "rules" anyway?
