Aled Edwards Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Hi Everyone, here is a first draft of a piece I am working. It is intended as background/atmospheric music and I've tried to make it more of a mood piece. Cheers!

Layne Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 I want to have this playing all the time while I'm working, or driving...or just living. It really brings me a sense of connection, and in a way, some melancholy. But in a beautiful way. Or maybe the word I'm looking for more is...longing. But I do love it! It feels like the ending of a movie, where things have ended up right...with loss along the way...but now- stability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Hi @Aled Edwards, Sorry I have missed this but it sounds soothing. I love the intro with only accompaniment going before having the melody. I like the chord in 0:53 which is a French sixth in a close position (Gb, Ab, C, D right?). I am less a fan of the next sentence with the whole tone scale, but I like the modulation after it, and with the pentatonic scale involved. 2:14 sounds very jazzy, and you went from the tritone A major to Eb major with just one effective chord. The piece indeed sounds moody and Ali enjoy it. The ending on a Ab7 is lovely. Thx for sharing! Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted Wednesday at 03:13 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:13 AM Hi @Aled Edwards! I love how you start on the subdominant chord of the key! The walk down the scale to the tonic is nice as well. Then you insert a great transition in whole-tone scale. I would love to see sheet music for this! There are so many interesting harmonic twists and you manage to return to the beginning seamlessly. Very nice! Thanks for sharing. Edit: It would be a really great track in a video game owing to how well it loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
