interesting comment... I must say those are harmonies I like. But for something a little different, you may want to listen to my clarinet quartet, it's definitely not as civilised! ^^

Emmanuelle Fonsny replied to Jeremiah Pena's discussion Dark Troubles - Evil Attacks"Hi Jeremiah,
Is this a piece for animation or something? Whatever it is, I like it.
The sounds you have chosen work well together. I particularly like the voices, the flute and the drums.
I like how you made some parts with drums and others…"
Emmanuelle Fonsny replied to Emmanuelle Fonsny's discussion What would you do if part of your composition sounded like another?"Hi,
thanks for your responses.
Yep, that's true, nothing can be 100% original. Ok, well, I'll just accept the music as it comes to me then. And like you said, Jeremiah, if it's too similar, I'll change it a bit, although I find…"
Jeremiah Pena replied to Emmanuelle Fonsny's discussion What would you do if part of your composition sounded like another?"I've had this happen a couple of times. One song I was working on had a melody that was almost note by note identical to a theme from "Singapore" from POTC3. After I realized I did that, I just changed it around a bit to make it less…"
Chris Alpiar replied to Emmanuelle Fonsny's discussion What would you do if part of your composition sounded like another?"I think for me, I have no personal qualms about that scenario, unless it is blatant enough to become a legal issue. But legal issues aside, every culmination of notes that we put on paper or into a musical work is somehow derived from previous…"
Emmanuelle Fonsny posted a discussionWhat would you do if part of your composition sounded like another?
Hey guys,I'd like to ask you this:Have you ever written something that sounds very similar to something that already exists though without meaning to? If so, what do you do about it? Do you try to vary it so that it sounds different or do you keep it as it is and hope no one notices the similarity??I'm asking this cos it's happened to me a few times. From listening to music, I've unconsciously absorbed certain sounds and melodies and sometimes, I've regurgated them thinking it is original until…See More

Emmanuelle Fonsny replied to Jack Pickett's discussion Splitsound Suite"Oh, you have 2 more movements. Cool! The 4th adds a bit of variety which is nice. It's still set in the same rhythmic frame but with different textures and some melodies. It's cool!
Like Mike said, it's like walking along endlessly…"

- Hello Emanuelle, what I mean by "tonal music with wrong notes" is that your piece is in a kind of perfect balance.....(tonality has not so much to do with pitch)...cluster music grouped in 4+4+4+4 do I experience as tonal. Because of the balance I hear your music as tonal. Of course no problem with tonality. And then we have the right "wrong" note and the wrong "right" note. And then we have virtuosity as a composing tool. I do not mean to be disrespectful but you invited me to say something about your music which I did....best, henk alkema
I will listen to your clarinet quartet.
