Music Composers Unite!
Hi
Could you have a listen to my composition developments? Comments would be most welcome on Brother Rain Tin and Sister G on My Page.
All the very best

Very intriguing. What inspired you to write it?
My ears perked up and liked the percussion at 3:13 through 6:35.

I've listened to that song... twice! it's difficult to give a feedback on it ( at least for me ) as this is the kind of music that lives in world of its own avangarde. Technicaly it's good. Personaly i don't dig it even thou i do like disjointed harmonies. Except when the song was getting thorwards end the rythm made it more accessible and i could find something i could hold on too.

I really appreciate honest and critical feedback, so thank you. I find inspiration from ideas, from the sounds themselves and going on an instinct. This is work in progress and I would like to double the length to do the different sections justice. I guess there could be more of a way in for listeners who haven’t experienced a lot of contemporary classical music. I hope your creatively is flowing and you are all producing excellent composition.
All the very best
Matt
I will upload the finished piece thanks for the support….

I can tell that I like your music language very much but cannot comprehend the form of the piece; besides, there is something wrong with acoustics: the strings sometimes are too sharp and cause slight pain in my ears, which is OK if it is intended as a means to express something specific, e.g., elements of a video sequence. The language is close to impressionist tradition and (for me) associates with Ravel, who often used such textures for expressing very specific things; see, for instance, his L'enfant et les sortilèges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27enfant_et_les_sortil%C3%A8ges), where he expressed sounds of angry home furniture. I think this music should be accompanied with something suggesting explanation: programme, picture, movie etc. Once more, your atonal language is attracting attention and is far away from the annoing triviality of what usually sounds around us.

Only when the solo piano started playing right after the orchestrated intro I was drawn into the music. Its drama affected me throughout the composition.
