Cool piece. Maybe some degree of pretense at times, but even then it’s all very skillfully and fluidly written by the composer. I appreciate the variety of colors on the palette while nonetheless segregating certain ideas into unique arrangements of rhythms that are peppered throughout-the repetitions of which make this a pleasing structure. Also love that ending. Performance and recording are impeccable. Wonderful by all, marvelous stuff.

Thank you for the review, I appreciate the kind words! Could you elaborate on what you meant by "pretense" in this context?

Don't you worry, you looked OK. This piece is wonderful! I didn't feel any pretentiousness anywhere in this. I am an abstract artist, and I am always on the lookout for what I feel is the most abstract music. Music generally is abstract in the way it affects the soul! I play this type of music through my headphones when I am in the studio, as the whole structure of the piece affects how I place the medium on the canvas. I find this piece inspires. Also, I only recently discovered this channel, and I am very grateful to Cmaj7th for all your hard work.🙏👏🙋‍♂️

Liked the multiphonics and the runs in different keys

Thank you

Song of healing! :D

I love it

Wow,,,SO interesting sounds,,,

Great piece. I really enjoyed the use of the multiphonics. They always felt like an intrinsic part of the melodic line rather than special effects thrown in for the sake of special effects. Strange title though. There's nothing about that piece that's trying to avoid attention or notice. Is it tongue-in-cheek?

It is more in reference to the way surreptitious can be used in the context of keeping something secret/out of observation. To explain the context further, it is in reference to a sort of emotional state of having to ever hold in a secret, hide a part of yourself or lifestyle and thus be "sneaky" as to avoid some sort of disapproval. However it's not in reference to any of those things in specific, mostly just the overall emotional state in those types of contexts... Hopefully that clarifies anything and thank you for the nice comment (:

Good stuff 👌

It is understandable that some dynamic composers may advocate the use of chaotic-chords in their work, concurrently with critical linearity-riffs, but multi-timbrally, juxtaposing a wider array of parts (or even aerophones) is the better approach. The unifying features of my output include the re-composing of phrases as an element within the non-linearity-rejecting process, and a constant use of the 'conflict-chordophone', in which experimental fermatas generate meaning. My work has been seminal in the development of 'bitonally-large-scale random-music', a highly intellectual, and rather conceptual genre. For performers, I find that a slightly post-Stockhausen approach can often help to compose intervallic cadenzas - or in some cases, even reject the reaction in question. Recently, I have started to embrace tritones as a strongly-aleatoric alternative to established forms of complex player-imitations, which has made my work contemporarily quadrophonic. To put it concisely, the conceptual forms of any given sound-world must never clash with the ultimately isomorphic endeavour of orchestrating fermatas wherever possible.
