i studied composition at the late 90's and decided to get a career as a clarinet player later on as after my PhD I needed to support myself and couldn't quite make living off composing... so please read these as friendly comments and not trolling of some sort... I thought that a couple of pauses for more drama and breath won't harm...these full textures are only effective in relation to thinner ones... I also have a feeling upon lookin at your work that you compose directly into the notation software... no sketching by hand, am I wrong? I say that because when one writes by hand they immediately reflect on their work and don't compose endless streams rather "maniacally"... it's not bad just not a sighn for maturity... the difficult thing in composition is to make it light, not full...to emphasize the chamberness of those smaller ensembles...not to create bombastic textures... what do you think?
@bobbycgeКүн бұрын
those are really good takes! thanks for the thoughts! i will say when i began this piece that i wanted to write something short, forward-moving, and intense - though because of that, it definitely comes off a bit maniacal hahaha. i admit that i'm generally very attracted to pulling as large a sound as possible out of chamber ensembles i write for, though i agree that transparency and lightness can be signs of patience and maturity (lol things i lack)! thanks again for your thoughts - i'm currently working on another string quartet, and i'm hoping to try something a bit different from this one!
@OdeToTruthКүн бұрын
@bobbycge I believe that among the advanced contemporary music lovers, those bigger sounds can only become significant due their context and what preceeded them, not due to their inherent glimmer or thrill... that is the true challenge of composing... to convince the audience that nothing is extra and all that there is could only be organized in a particular way, rather thoughtfully and not only craftfully...

Always using these playing techniques in wonderfully musical ways....the 1812 overture and other works and their recombinations are so much fun...this creates an ethereal fantasy kind of world...a kind of surreal musical collage....as if perhaps Schnittke and Ives got gene spliced in a teleportation machine.

It is like 80 s Pop Jazz sound destabilized by durational incosistency/proportional notation and timbral string writing. It surely works formally. Though I would maybe prefer a more clear cut structure resembling to conventional one instead of one movement concerto form (which is quite contemporary in my perspective), and some extended techniques in Piano part also to create contrasts. But somehow this music maintains it's energy and the flow is quite attractive. I have been following your channel occcasionally I should admit inspiring works you load here

Really interesting, the opening has some notes which sound exactly like a reversed recording. Not a sound I knew could be achieved live, let alone on a saxophone!

lol yeah, good ears! i'm a huge fan of that 'reversed piano hit' sound, and i use it maybe a little too much in my music haha. i didn't need to say any much more than the instructions i gave - i think one thing that helps is that flared crescendo, where the hairpin has those outward curves at the very end that emphasize how dramatic the sound should be. turns out it's a really easy sound to accomplish on a lot of instruments - sounds really great on brass too!
