Lawrence Aurich replied to David Lilly's discussion Crescent Moon Nocturne (Piano)

"Very nice, soft and dreamy. You did a lot of variation on the left-hand motif. Why the key of Gb? I would be tempted to use a recurring theme in the right hand, though I don't know if it would be any improvement. …"

"Hi David, Overall, I think the piece matches the mood you were seeking, so I think you achieved your goal there. There is a calmness and serenity that I hear which seems pleasant to meI find that with a short piece, a single mood is enough to carry…"

Crescent Moon Nocturne (Piano)

Hey everyone- it's been a little while. I had a few days off, why not write some music? I think the inspiration behind this piece for me was sitting outside on a very quiet almost-summer evening, doing absolutely nothing but thinking. This is my musical interpretation of that kind of moment. As always, curious for thoughts on what's good, bad, or anything in general - and if the notation seems accurate. …See More

Mike Hewer replied to David Lilly's discussion Flying Kites - quick piano impromptu

"Hi David, No, not the rhythm, I think you are playing the rh at b22 cf, an octave lower in places, that's all. This is definitely the sort of music that might sell well, have you thought about adding a few more movements. As you already have…"

"Thanks for listening Mike! Could you explain a little more the disparity you're referring to? In my world, I feel I am playing what is written at bar 22. I had a little trouble notating the rhythm of this section so I…"

"Hi David, Nice to see you back here... I agree, a great little piece, but why the disparity between the score and the recording? The music from b22 cf would sound great as written... Just one other thing, at b57, the b naturals should really be c…"

"Delightful piece David; full of drive and vigor. Very tonal and non chromatic, which served the mood perfectly. Keep up the great work."

Flying Kites - quick piano impromptu

I actually wrote this a good while ago, and have kind of re-birthed it. The rhythms were a bit complicated for me then and I came across this piece in an old music notebook of mine, hand written. It was quite "wrongly" written, so I figured I'd do my due diligence and notate it as correctly as I can (the rhythms are still weird in the one section, and I'm not sure I got it right? Maybe I can get some feedback on that) That is me actually playing for a change and not the computer- so the audio…See More

"A simple idea, presented in a simple way as it should be, in my opinion. I enjoyed the listen. Personally, I would have preferred just the track as piano. Or, taken the ambient noises and presented them as a very dull, static like sound…"

Experiment No. 3

I haven't been able to get on here as much as I'd like. Work and all that jazz (My real job, unfortunately) But I was able to buy some new electronic toys with all this hard work and thought I'd give them a spin. This is a bit untypical of my usual work, but it's a serious attempt at:-Creating something unique that people can say "I've never heard something like that before" -Pushing VST plug ins and the endless limits of electronic music to... well... its limits-Atonal writing -Changing tempo,…See More

"Very well done David, it fits the ambient label perfectly. I'm not a fan of ambient stuff and I would most likely choose differently on some of the mix settings but that's no criticism, good work."

There's Beauty in the Earth

Another one of my 'no score' tracks, more DAW based and electronic composition wise. But I thought I'd share it with you guys here as it has received some interesting feedback. A slight bit of experimentation with poly rhythms on the 'chorus', or pick up parts. But nothing absolutely stunningly unique in my opinion. https://soundcloud.com/davidlillymusic/theres-beauty-in-the-earthAlso made a really…See More
