A New Light

Wrote a short piece. Hope u enjoy.

Enjoyed it indeed, but I think those rapid arpeggios could remain for a longer time (even to 1:10). I like it a lot anyway, the transition from peak to calm around 1:10 is just fine plus the end is very satisfying.

Kind regards!

yeah idk I didnt want it to become too static. I figured they had their place now its time for the main event, but maybe I could have kept them.

transitions, whether tripping on psychedelics or writing a song, are very scary. I'll take just fine as a W because that was the scariest moment writing this song. Will probably amend it with more lush orchestration to make clear the harmonies at play.

Very nice. Your title is well chosen in that the impression I received was of daybreak. Some very lovely harmonies - in the absence of a score I can't point out any of the many that, well, bluntly, were clever but let the piece flow...suspensions, long appoggiaturas, chromatic weaving of the melody line. I thought the rapid flurries in the opening were about right the length they are. They made their point and probably what made me at once think of daybreak. Shame it's so short.

thank u Quinn!

I love this dude... I just hope you'd write longer stuff. I would listen to this for daysss, but its so short it leaves me wanting more!!

About the piece itself, I think its well balanced, very evocative, all the good stuff. Keep at it dude!

I agree with the others: you can definitely write 2 minutes of beautiful, well orchestrated music. Start thinking bigger.
