Thatguy v2.0

Ok sometimes it's 6 weeks, other times it's 3 months haha Ferrum being the true lieder he is and coming in clutch with the words... cool stuff! It'll be interesting to hear what you guys come up with

This loops really well, I totally missed the repeat lol I agree with the others, I liked the microtonal version more! I think strategic use of microtones, like being able to make adjustments to particular chords is a cool way of going about their use, rather than making certain pitches within a scale slightly altered. Is that something a lumatone could be used for more versus period instruments that used microtones because of their tuning? Either way, grand ole' fine piece Mr. Peter

Hey, cool music, and welcome! Very Christmas-sounding indeed 🙂 The part at around :40 reminded me of the third mov. of Sibelus' 5th... you know that one? Check it out if you haven't, it's a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing, and give some thoughts on the other Christmas pieces in the event... you'll find more will check out your music if you listen to theirs too!

Alright let's see what kind of hocus pocus magical mayhem these dice and cards concoct today... listening... Wow you sure are getting good at these haha. This is great, man. Some of the falling piano parts reminded me of Chopin, but as a whole it had such a dreamy quality to it. As a guitarist, it all looks fine and playable to me, and having ringing notes might bring an even more idiomatic texture to the music. Well done Peter!

I really like listening to this style without the score, since I think part of the magic is not knowing exactly how long the phrases will be, or when a solo bass note will ring, etc. This is great Luis, it's always a pleasure to hear your music! It reminded me of quiet falling snow at night 🙂

It's music like yours that helps me continue to grow as a composer. I read through your and Peter's conversation, and it's over my head haha. I really liked the atmosphere you created. Sure it was dissonant, but it was a beautiful dissonance that I didn't know could be achieved. And THANK you for performing this live, I don't know how software (as good as it's getting even) could reproduce this, let alone capture the spirit you gave it with a gorgeous performance, and from the composer is even better. This is truly well done, and a piece that I've had a lot of joy listening and re-listening to. Thank you for sharing! 🙂

Write the 2026 Mikrokosmos update we need :D

This is really smart. I instinctively am harmony first, but thats why its good practice to start with other facets of music for different pieces. Form first is great because most neglect it at first and it's the best cure for "gee what comes next"

Wow... Your voice is wonderful, I love the timbre and emotion in your singing. Don't be bashful about it! Do I think you should do more songs? Definitely :) Please keep writing and performing these, I had no idea I'd like your vocal music so much

This piece is just what I needed tonight, thank you

The first part of the score has a lot of unisons or octaves, 2nds and 7ths. Creating more thirds fourths and fifths in between the voices might help thicken the harmony.

Hey there Matthew, Do you have a teacher? Or do you study music on your own with online course guidance? My opinion is do what you want, learn what interests you, but I think it's really advantageous to continue with tonal harmony. When you learn why tonality broke down, it helps with understanding the motives atonal music is trying to achieve. Also, post your music if you haven't already! That'll really help with your growth, as even strangers on the internet can provide a wealth of knowledge. Cheers buddy

Do you play an instrument?

The texture gets so thick but I love how it sounds consonant throughout. For some reason I'm reminded of Home Alone when I hear this haha, I love that movie. Wonderful music Peter, it definitely is stocking stuffed full of holiday spirit. Merry Christmas!

Merry christmas
