PeterthePapercomPoser Posted Tuesday at 03:21 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:21 AM Hi @Luis Hernández! Another wonderful example of yours using the tintinnabuli technique! I like how you use the M-voice always in 3rds. You start with the M-voice in the right hand and the T-voice in the left but soon enough, as the piece develops you intertwine and exchange the position of the voices. Looks like, towards the end you also double the T-voice with 6ths. And the piece is written in free meter akin to Messiaen. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays! 1 Quote
piajo Posted Tuesday at 05:52 AM Posted Tuesday at 05:52 AM Simple and expressive - I really like pieces of this kind. To me, it feels sombre but not overly so, perhaps as if controlling that feeling or just waiting. I like the title too. Are you playing the piano here? 1 Quote
Luis Hernández Posted Tuesday at 08:38 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 08:38 AM @PeterthePapercomPoser Yes, I have been delving into the tintinnabuli technique, which I find fascinating. I've written a few things on my blog about how to use it. Bilingual. There is virtually no information in Spanish on this subject. 1 Quote
Luis Hernández Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 08:40 AM @piajo Thank you. Yes, this technique allows me to try to express restrained emotions. It is not played live, it is a virtual piano. Quote
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted Wednesday at 02:42 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:42 AM Hey @Luis Hernández, I love how meditative the music sound. I like it. It sounds simple but very soothing. And I love the meterless meter like Medeival music as I always love Gregorian Chants to be honest. 23 hours ago, PeterthePapercomPoser said: Another wonderful example of yours using the tintinnabuli technique! I love the term Peter LoL. I like using a complicated term to describe simple music style like academics who use the term postmodern for every empty arts LoL. Thx for sharing! Henry 2 Quote
Brandon S Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago Great piano playback. What software are you using? Quote

Virtual instruments are not the same as those actually played. But they can be worked on a bit to get the sound you want. It is also important to work on dynamics, accents, tempo changes (rubato). In this case that part is less important because in this style there are usually no changes of that kind. Quote
