I'd ike to share this little fugue in 5 voices. FUGA 5.mp3 FUGA 5.pdf

Thank you! Means a alot to hear it from you guys. :) You have to understand, I made this music from pure love of genre film music. So if I hit the mark or not is not up to me to decide. I'm proud of the fact that I managed to get through it, with limited knowledge of music theory, but I always took compliments with a grain of salt. But knowing you guys liked it means alot! :)

Thanks for listening guys! It was never my intention to lower any expectations. I AM a first time composer, and I'm not all that confident about it. I'm studying film at university, but I decided to compose an album for my bachelor, at the behest of my professor. I spent a few months on this, and it wasn't easy, but I managed to pull through. I was completely honest in my modesty, so there's no need to call out an ulterior agenda. I'm just a huge fan of film music who needed to get my built-up inspiriation expressed in some way. That being said, I really appreciate you guys checking it out. And I apologize if I let out a "douchy" first impression.

Hi I like the way it is.... Something like an "electronic thapsody". The sounds you get are amazing.... I am used to write for piano or other "acoustic" instruments. So, this stuff would be very difficult for me. I also think that the changes keep my attention and it's not boring, at all. It would be different if this music was intended to go with images, a film or whatever. In that case you should rewrite some parts to adjust them.

This is very nice! It's always great to see the viola getting some cool repertoire. I love the viola. It's been under-represented in the past, imho. I liked the fourth one even better! It's a bit of a different style for me, but very nice regardless. Would be cool to hear a soloist perform this.

Very nice. I think you've been clever using the double stops here. Your ideas for the soliloquies are wonderful. They are as little gems. I wonder if you have thoug about expand and develop some of them (with some orher instrument? Anywat, they are good.

There are many good things in this, but I personally think there is too many sudden changes within this piece. I can´t accuse this piece of being too repetitious. Instead it seems to be the other way around. But maybe that is part of the experimentation.

The ending definately had a Stravinsky feel to it. Was "The Fire bird" a major influence?

Totally enjoyable! The melody is a great vehicle for the orchestration and development you created. I'm not familiar with "Emma", but the piece had a story telling feel to it.

Far from impressing an audience or showcasing compositional prowess, the goal of composition for me is nothing less than personal evolution - mental, affective, as well as spiritual. The audience is merely privileged to be allowed to partake in the revelation of metaphysical insights from this personal evolutionary process of being. Even the composer is privileged to be able to achieve that process, to have the wisdom to discern its necessity for his being, and to seek the conditions (like solitude, withdrawal from distractions, etc) that enable him to achieve it.
