Hello all,I think it is harder to write slow music than fast music. Certainly the emphasis in slow music is very different than in fast music. Since every sound is more to the front and individually…Continue

Gav Brown replied to Vn's discussion Patxi's Ghost"It might even work nicely with some well done stills in the foreground. Perhaps you might look on pinterest or somesuch site to see if anyone is already out there doing something which would fit - just a thought - "
Gav Brown replied to Vn's discussion Patxi's Ghost"Hi Vn,
That's some good haunted house music there! I don't usually follow "cinematic" works that much, but this one is several cuts above the pack. Good imagery, which captures the intent of your description quite well I think.…"
Gav Brown replied to Gav Brown's discussion Work in Progress, Suggestions/Feedback Sought - Flute Duo"Thanks Marc, appreciate your feedback. I myself had a concern that there's some variance needed, partly I put the piece here to see if others picked up on that, and it seems the feeling is universal, so I'm going to make some kind of…"
Marc Eugene Farmer replied to Gav Brown's discussion Work in Progress, Suggestions/Feedback Sought - Flute Duo"Hi Gav! Sweet little tune. I liked the overall development. What about just a tiny bit of variation in the main tune in the first 50 or so seconds...just a different note or two... the end seems a bit abrupt to me.
Just my 2…"
Gav Brown replied to Gav Brown's discussion Work in Progress, Suggestions/Feedback Sought - Flute Duo"Thanks for giving it a listen, Roger! It’s fun to try new things! I am going to give a string quartet a go next, you’ll hear my trials and errors on cello there if not here first!
Thanks again,
Gav"
"Hi Gav, this has some merit and potential, to my ear. My first thought was ' a cello' as a counterpart.
This though is an example of what I have said about writing a 'linear time' piece as opposed to a 'conceptual'…"
Gav Brown replied to Gav Brown's discussion Work in Progress, Suggestions/Feedback Sought - Flute Duo"Thanks Lawrence for listening and for the idea about the melody. Going to work on this soon and may be swinging back around with an update at some point (or a finished piece perhaps).
Thanks again!

Lawrence Aurich replied to Gav Brown's discussion Work in Progress, Suggestions/Feedback Sought - Flute Duo"Gav,
Enjoyed this piece. You repeat the theme too often, especially at the beginning. At measure 15 take the theme up a third or a fifth. Otherwise there is plenty of variation throughout. You could…"

A delightful piano composition - Peacherine Rag
Posted on December 9, 2014 at 12:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I started composing because of the music in the movie "The Sting" - the ragtime of Scott Joplin. His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play. Here's a piece which was not in The Sting, but which is a delightful example of his work - about 3 minutes long -

Another composer has posted recently on the forum about a piece he wrote inspired by French music which is about fountains. I won’t post this on his thread, which is about his composition, but thought you might enjoy it - ragtime composers liked to compose on this theme too, and one of my favorites in this genre is a piece written by a guy named Robert Hampton called “Cataract Rag.” (Cataract is a synonym for Waterfall). The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…

Hi all,
Joe Wall is a Baltimore composer who does interesting things. I once got to see a multimedia presentation of this piece by him, about how, as a small child, he mused on the satellite program. I've never forgotten it. I find it meditative and hypnotic. I've been looking for it for years online and finally found it. The last few words spoken I particularly find affecting. Hope you like it.…
