I Wrote a song in 14/16....
Музыка
Welp I made another piece, I named this one Fading Light. I challenged myself to write a piece in 14/16 because I encourage all composers to experiment with odd time signatures. I can definitely see an argument for 7 / 8 tho because 14 is not very stable, but I soon will upload a collage of all of my works in every time signature! The editing took me the longest for any video for this and I really hope y'all enjoy this. I really enjoyed making this. If anyone needs a composer for a video game! PLEASE!! Reach out to me in the comments and I can work for you!
Part List: Piano (88-Key Required)

I am aware of the case for 7/8, and I can for sure see if you think this is in 7/8, but I intended it to be in 14/16 :)

Sir, compose a piece with: A brass section A Strings sectiom (Violinonum sum) A wind section I am trying to do this my self, but can't quite get the sound I want, so I guess my tendancy to steal is not very akward, snyways... Doth ye dare to accept mine challeng?: X: No O: Yes Have a nice day, good sir.

It sounds like 14/16, only some of the last section sounds like 7/8 to me. The way I go about the subdivisions is where the groove lands most of the time, for example, 14/16 subdivided as 4+4+3+3 is something a lot of people would call 7/8, but the groove steps out of the eighth note pulse, so I wouldn’t call it that.

write one with 22/7 time
14/16 is addictive once you get used to it. I love 14/16. And this sounds awesome! Both the rythm and harmony are well written, pleasing and original. Bravo!
Interesting! I’ll definitely give you some pointers from a composer and listener’s perspective. 1. I love your harmonic structure! 2. I think it was already addressed about the muddy bass! 3. I love the arpeggiation on top, and would emphasize little details in the melody on the bass and spacing it with the alto range and bass range. Giving you a wider sound. 4. 3+3+3+2 Idea was very intriguing! Really nailed the odd meter! 5. 14:52 Your orchestration on the chords was quite interesting as well! The sudden feeling of a timpani smack, giving you that massive build! I adore the crescendo! 6. 15:24 Instead of the immediate fortissimo, personally I would change it towards a forte crescendoing towards the fortissimo for the grand effect. Then change to a piano for the chord on 15:29 leaving you with the large crescendo towards the forte!! 7. This piece absolutely intriguing with intensity! I love it!! Keep up the good work and for my final recommendation, build up the intensity to explode with more ferocity! W piece! Challenge completed. Now do 11/16

I’m actually surprised you don’t have more subs, so I’m going to sub. You’re legitimately talented at composing music.

This honestly turned out so well, especially the second half!
This is super cool and creative, you deserve more subscribers.
cool piece, be careful with those alterations you're making not required chromatic passages through the use of enharmonic equivalence.

great music and great editing! really deserves more attention!
I genuinely forgot to comment on this when it first released. This was a really nice piece to listen to and interesting to see how you work. Can't wait to see more of your interesting compositions! It looks playable to me, though the left hand would probably require a bit of practice for me lol.
What a fun piece to listen to!
i recently made a track that uses 7/8 and even 11/8 at times, and my trick is honestly just only use it if it actually flows well instead of trying to force it into a song. a good example of this is the beach theme for the snes game plok :p
I've been messing around with odd time signatures, and it's been some of the most fun I've had in a while. My favourite has got to be 17/16, it feels surprisingly natural, give it a shot! Editing to say this piece you've made is really, really good! I like it a lot.

That's so cool! As a 7/8, or in this case 14/16, addict, I've also made something similar to this, but as it was made in musescore 3 2 years ago, it doesn't compare to this imo. It's the only video on my channel if you want to check it out
I have a suggestion for the bass section personal opinion btw! I recommend the bass not be as muddy and instead for the arpeggiation in the bass in the beginning be spanned out in octaves! But overall incredible job with the piece very intensifying!!

it's funny when the bottom number of a time singature is so high that it gets really hard to notice how many beats are in the bar and you start to think that is in another and more simple time signature, like 6/8 or something JSJSJSaksjdjkwad

In fact, it's pretty interesting because these types of time signatures, like 14/16, 9/16, and 10/16, always give that dream-like sound because they are quite similar to other more simple time signatures but not exactly identical, making them hard to count. This makes me feel a little lost, and the music starts to sound a bit abstract or fluid. I don't know, that's just my opinion :)
Bro, did you accidentally make Undertale Battle music??? Shit goes crazy but it's definitely giving RPG
bro change the Gb in F#, so the piece is harmonically correct. I love your piece anyway, especially the melody. great job.
personally, i would have switched up the arpeggios more to add rhythm, but it was still good nonetheless.
