Dynamic emotions in music.

I'm currently wrapping up the document for a pre-study in dynamic emotions in music...
The study is very interesting, like there has been several (at least two) attempts at creating a music engine with the purpose of modifying music scores in realtime. After browsing through some of the current (and past) studies in the field of emotions in music I finally sattled down with the latest thesis from Steven.R.Livingstone (Changing musical emotion 2005) which is very fascinating indeed. The article g… Continue

Not really a crime, new recording.

We re-recorded the jazz ballad "Not really a crime" which I wrote some week back.
The previous recording had some click issues due to computer overloaded with Convolution-reverbs.
I thought about arranging some strings and woodwind lines above the piece, but in the end
I like a naked piano version of this song better. It kindá suits the piece.

Hope you like it!

Cheers,
Mattias Holmgren

Greeting Mattias! Thank you very much for the invitation. I'm listening to Clash of the Titans. Nice up and down sweeps throughout. Reminds me of the sort of thing one would hear in a score like Lord of the Ring or in a game cinematic like World of Warcraft.

WHOA! You played in Naglfar?!? That's awesome. Man I'm psyched to see more metal musicians (or former metal musicians at least) on here. I've always maintained that there is a LOT in common between metal and classical, and orchestral metal remains one of my favorite sub genres. Anyway, welcome to the forum! Your posted music is phenomenal. Very epic, and beautifully executed!
