Trench - full orchestra piece - recorded by NZSO

[Tom Jensen]

this is the only piece i've been lucky enough to have recorded by a professional orchestra, as part of the young composer awards, september 2010.

 

subject matter is the descent into a deep-sea trench, as you slowly sink into the dark waters, you feel peace.

 

enjoy!

Sounds great. Competent. Sensitively arranged. I feel like the piece is a throw-back, lacking a 'style' and avoiding originality. How would you describe your style?

[Tom Jensen]

like i said before in this discussion, i feel this is just a "boring romantic piece" and i whipped it up in about a week. i dont really have a style. im interested in the lushness of mahler and martinu, and the simple beauty of arvo part and pergolesi. but then i also love stravinsky and bartok... and death metal! hahahaha. anyway, thanks for all the comments!

Hi all. Give me feedback please. Whether you liked the piece or not, I feel this is just a boring romantic piece and I whipped it up in about a week.

...That's rather awkward.
