Recording stuff from when I was younger, and still obsessed with Beethoven! So heavily influenced by Ludwig. 2nd Movement to follow soon! Hope you enjoy. https://youtu.be/uKxwqPNcmFw

Hello! Here is a new piano sonata allegro movement that I've written during the pandemic. I'd welcome any feedback you might have. 🙂 Dan

Crikey....I forgot. That's the price of semi-unlockdown with family visiting. Jeez... never mind. The marking and voting got a bit complicated anyway. I'll stick it in the appropriate forum section when I get a few minutes.

SUBMISSION J: A Dream's End

SUBMISSION G : The piece is titled "Hope", and is written as a response to the current ongoing pandemic to inspire some consolation and cautious optimism in these uncertain times.

SUBMISSION F : Bassoon Concerto No. 2 So I wrote a bassoon concerto for this competition, meanly because I myself and my father are bassoonists so i know pretty well how to write for bassoon. I will probably write more movements to it, so see this as a 1st movement :). This piece is a special piece to me, it is a very challenging piece with a lot of long jumps and notes in a short period of time. It is about a lot of deep things that have happened and thoughts that i have had these couple of months. I had my first real depressive episode that lasted 2 months in which it was so difficult to even write a single note (at the end of that episode i did write a bit and it is probably the most "real" music i have ever written in my life). Afterwards I had a real "high" (bipolar?). My mom got diagnosed with cancer 2 months ago and it kills me inside to see her in the state she is in. So that is really the beginning of this piece, the introduction is probably more the sad side of me, but quickly the piece becomes something more than that. It becomes a piece about how i survived what i did, i don't think i really have to explain to much. Go listen to it and please let me know what you thought 🙂

SUBMISSION E : Ennui is defined as a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement. I wrote this song in April and May in response to the corona-virus quarantine. With all my free time I decided to learn to play acoustic guitar and this is the first song I wrote after learning some basic guitar chords. I wrote the first two verses and the chorus/bridge in the middle by myself, and my friend helped me with the 3rd verse. I don't have any professional recording equipment so I just recorded this on my cell phone. Score was made in MuseScore 3. Enjoy!

SUBMISSION D : "We have gone astray, the stripes that heal" If you ignore the vocalist and look at the instrumentalist, they have a part that repeats several times, like how COVID keeps coming back(# of new cases). The vocalist is there to give you a false sense of 'normal'. The religious text for me, mean that I haven't been to church physically for a long time, and haven't be playing hymns.

SUBMISSION B: My piece, Flight of the Fledgling, is about a young bird that must learn to fly on its own for the first time. It is a metaphor about being pushed out of the security of a relatively benign world.

SUBMISSION A: Kitichi (Earth), symphonic poem for orchestra and elements

Hey man, I like your work so far. My advice to you is to create a separate thread for each track you post, it can be a little overwhelming to keep track of this music log when looking for new pieces by you. That said, I like the 8-bit vibes. Great work, I look forward to hearing your improvements!
