Greg Hooper - Generative piece based around Bauldeywen's Missa da Pacem

0 Upvotes

https://apondinthestream.bandcamp.com/track/after-then-before

An ambient post-classical (?) track taken from a renaissance piece by Bauldeweyn. The notes of the original were permuted, shuffled about and reordered without adding any new ones. I actually reduced it back by taking some notes out that I didn't like. So it is a bit of a selectionist strategy, like in evolution.

Only the fittest notes survive :)

Do you like this movement of my symphony that describes grief’s stage of bargaining almost futilely? Since bargaining might seem like bliss. But it can’t save us from the abyss.

Critique Desired: Pachelbel's Keygen

0 Upvotes

Hio! I’m a software/game developer, not a trained composer or particularly accomplished pianist. I wrote this mostly by ear and MIDI experimentation, so I’m sure there are things I don’t have enough experience to notice. I need it to be actually good though for a project I'm working on.

Audio — MP3

Score — PDF

Pachelbel’s Keygen — Ascent to Elevation 100 is a solo-piano piece built on the ground from Pachelbel’s Canon. It progresses through a series of increasingly elaborate eight-bar “elevations,” adding canon, inversion, mirrored figures and denser counterpoint before reaching a deliberately excessive summit and then destabilizing.

The escalation is part of the concept, but I don’t want that to excuse weak writing. I’d especially appreciate honest feedback on:

  • whether the later sections actually develop the material or just add notes;
  • harmony, voice leading, counterpoint or notation that seems unintentionally wrong;
  • awkward or implausible piano writing;
  • obvious musical opportunities I failed to take advantage of;
  • whether the ending feels earned.

The audio is a synthetic performance I rendered in Reaper from the raw MIDI (since probably only five humans on the planet could play this), so I’m mainly interested in the composition itself. Please feel free to be direct—measure numbers and concrete suggestions would be extremely helpful.

THanks!

Aleatoric studio tool

3 Upvotes

hello all, I have made an aleatoric generator, I tend to write a lot aleatoric and I always missed an actual tool that lets me create svg easily, I am not a fan of figma (similar software) I kept making different version of this tool to help me with notation, and I think it's a quite nice tool right now, I am not exactly the best at coding, but It work fine,

if you would like to use it https://pio008.github.io/aleatoric-vector-studio/
any feedback or help with the code it's welcome

4. Creation

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, this is the fourth track in a series of compositions depicting my worldbuilding in musical form. This one depicts the act of Creation itself by the Creator in this worldbuilt setting. While there are 3 main motifs that recur in the piece (the three that occur one after the other at the very start with the solo cello), it also contains a variety of short motifs that later pieces will each expand upon.

I tried out a few different techniques here that may not be fully practical for harp/vibraphone/strings, so please let me know. I included the col legno on strings and the harp tremolos because of their sound, but if this was practically being performed, I’d try to find some suitable replacement or other technique that makes a similar sound ideally.

Lore Description:

The birth of the omniverse was a mistake.

Expending the first of its energy, the Creator only aimed to bring another Abstracta into being.

Instead, this process gave rise to existence itself.

The Dance of the Thousand and One Nights

Once upon a time, great scholars of the Middle Ages (Al-Khwarizmi, Avicena, Fibonacci, Omar Khayyam, Bhāskara II, Averroes, etc). A piece that invites you to travel back in time.

Inspired by Mozart's symph 40. Notice the oboe's descending movement that reinvigorates the piece; I liked that mov so much that I included it twice—what do you think?

Please Like the video, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don't miss any new content.

Would an amateur orchestra be interested in playing it?...

Do you like how the second movement of my symphony describing the stages of grief sounds? I tried to melodically show how anger is truest malevolence.

Hi! I composed this waltz inspired by Tchaikovsky's Album for the Young, Op. 39 (that I am currently learning at the piano). The form is ABA', with A being the main waltz theme and B a slower lyrical section in Cmaj.

Hope you enjoy it and any feedback is welcome! Thank you!

Velatura — Cracked Halo (Trip-Hop Noir / Dark Downtempo) [OC]

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m sharing a new track from my Velatura project called Cracked Halo.

It’s a dark trip-hop / noir piece built around a small studio-band feel: drums, bass, piano, and subtle electronic textures, with an intimate low-register vocal.

The song is about fragility, healing, and finding a safer place to rest.

I’d really appreciate any thoughts on:
• the atmosphere,
• the vocal delivery,
• and whether the arrangement feels cohesive.

Thanks for listening.

I need some help on a composition.

3 Upvotes

I'm writing a third work: a romanza, a fan work inspired by Stranger Things. Jonathan from the show and Eli, an oc that is from a fanfic that i am currently working on.

I wanna ask how can i make the piece sound more fluid and less complicated. I am neurodivergent and an amateur composer with a lot of music theory, and whatever music theory I have comes from high school, which was over 14 years ago. I retained that much information because of choir. I attended choir for four years during high school, and whatever I was taught is what I have retained. Other than that, it is all self-taught. Any advice would be so helpful. Please and thank you. Much appreciated.

Do you like this old song I wrote back in high school? I don’t know why I didn’t turn it into a proper scrolling score video until now.

Composer-influencers are on the rise! Youtube is a medium with the potential to transform fortunes for composers and provide income from their work. There are trade-offs though.
