Nothingness

[Paul]

Hello !

I want to present you my new piece. It's called "Nothingness". I've recorded that by myself. I'm sorry ripples.

I'm waiting for your reply and opinin about this.

Best wishes !

Paul !

I liked it, but the comments I can make are limited because I don't normally listen to this kind of music, and many people here probably don't too. It would help if you explained a little about your influences in writing the piece.

One question - the music is beautifully presented on paper, but what do the symbols in the right hand in bars 18 and 19 mean - are they note clusters ?

[Paul]

Yes, in bars 18 and 19 - they're clusters !

I realize that many people here don't listen this kind of music but I wanted just present to you :-) In this piece I wanted to present empitness, blackout - I wanted to hand over the character of nothingness.

Thank you for your reply.

Greetings !

Having explained your aims (as I feel is often necessary in "abstract" music), I can see that the piece works well.

It would fit in well in any recital of modern music. A real challenge would be to present a second movement that is the opposite of "nothingness".

Music in this style is often cold, remote and "empty" - but how would you write a piece that was "full" or "overflowing" ?

[Paul]

Frankly speaking I haven't thought about a "full" and "overflowing" piece. But I've been composing something like that for 2 months and I am not finished yet. I do not know why but since the beginning I compose rather a melancholy pieces but it's getting change. :-)

Greetings !
