This is my first Album that is finally starting to get around a bit on the internet I have spent a long time writing these songs and have just started releasing it on spotify/bandcamp. It's some of the best Dance/Vibe Music all written on Ableton...

This is part of a larger piece, I’ve been working on for awhile, that I just can’t seem to make work within that piece. I was thinking about making it a stand alone work but was uncertain if it works by itself. The basic idea is a fugue structure (I’m sure it violates numerous rules associated with fugues). Any thoughts are welcomed.

this is an album includes 8 microtonal piano pieces I composed previously, sound effects have been adjusted to be more pleasant to the ear, hope you like it! the video: 【微分音专辑】作品5 八首微分音钢琴音乐的开山之作_哔哩哔哩_bilibili

This is a Gavotte I dug up from my old archived compositions from years ago when I wasn't yet writing on paper but into the sequencer. It wasn't quite finished and it also seemed to be stuck in a never ending loop wanting to return to the Musette yet again, dragging on and on so I just ended it like this and called it finished. This Gavotte is a little more drawn out formally (it is a three-part form - Gavotte - Musette (which is just another Gavotte) - and back to the original Gavotte) and also a bit virtuosic for the cellos and basses. Let me know what you think if you feel like dropping a comment and I hope you enjoy listening!

Let's revive this topic. Thanks for sharing it BTW, just noticed it was yours, lol. The pizzicato section is probably my favourite, you entered on it so daringly and unexpectedly to me. A real performance would probably be powerful, perhaps you could submit this to Evan's call of scores competition! It is true that I expected a more lengthened end but what you did works pretty well in my opinion. Not to mention the proper use of dynamics throughout the whole piece and again, the clever use of pizz. (though a bit more wouldn't have hurt, at least to my taste). Mind if I share this here and there? Kind regards, Daniel–Ømicrón.

Hi, I really enjoyed the piece, especially at 1:16 when the orchestra really comes in. It's very relaxing, I could picture this music as the introduction to a movie or a documentary.

Hi @Alex Spanoudakis, It does have a peacefup aura in it! For me it's one beautiful picture throughout. I find this very beautiful and lovely! That said, I think around 1:00 the rendition makes the melodic instrument unclear. Also the ending climax can be pushed more if there are some contrasting material or tonality before it. Here it's F# Aeolian and beautiful throughout, thus making the piece less contrasting, but as I've said it's very beautiful and it's only under 4 minutes so I definitely don't care much about contrast here! Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece! Henry

Hi @Left Unexplained , Lovely music! Jazz music is usually not my cup of tea but I enjoy the saxophone here! Who knows what happen next? Just have fun now! Henry

Cool piece. The overall feel felt a bit too heavy for a Gavotte (a mix between the occasionally muddy writing itself and the sound of the virtual strings), but there were many engaging textures, especially at the recapitulation of the Gavotte's main idea. Some strange choices I would agree, like giving the violas that high countermelody at bar 13 before the 2nd violins, or the opening chord of the Musette being a G7 chord in 3rd inversion going to a D minor chord in root position (putting the bass up from F to G could fix this - the bassline throughout, generally speaking, needs a closer look). The bit that made me smile was the play between pizz. and arco with those rests between chords - Haydnesque! And I quite liked the F# leading to a Dmin11 chord, sounds a bit too poppy for the context to my ears though! Overall I enjoyed listening to it, the structure seemed complete to me, which was one of your main concerns I think? It ended well.

Wonderful piece. The 5 instruments are nicely put together. It surprises me that the iolins, in general, are in a low register and the 2nd violins are taking the highest voice many times. Only in the final part (m. 104 to 115) sound a bit messy because the quick, articulated notes in the double basses.

Engaging and full of ideas. I am slightly confused by a number of your harmonic decisions. For example, the cadence at bar 36 I interpret the F sharp as the leading note, which rises to the G, although the chord contains a G natural, C natural, A natural, F natural and a D natural. Did you intend this to be a d minor 7th chord? Do tell!
