I'm listening to the updated version now. I hear that you've developed the expression further. Whilst reading Schöenberg, check out his "Criteria for the evaluation of music". He writes about what he calls "developing variation", it's quite intrigin…
Here's my comment on The Lovestory of Patricia:
Gives a sense of an epic story in a filmic and moodful way. However the dynamic form doesn't evolve which makes it hard to locate seperate events even though there are a plentiful. What I mean is that…
Looks good:) Is it for tenor, bass voices and piano?

Symphony Nr. 2 - 3rd Movement
Sensu Communi
An atonal piece inspired by Schoenbergs 12 tone method. For simplicity most of the piece is in 12/8th rythm.
Three solo woodwinds and lots of percussion.
Playing on the "common sense" as something vague and an idea fractured by personal/egoistic views of the matter.
In that chaotic forum of thoughts it is forgotten that the only good is what leads to the good of everyone without letting anyone suffer on the way there. A truth that cuts through every plane of debate, an ide… Continue

Symphony Nr. 2
Conscientia
I was working on a piece not really meant for anything but itself. It started to take structure and I created a collective mass from the notes being rendered out of pure imagination.
It was an orchestral work but it didn't fit with the picture of the three finished pieces of my first symphony. Instead of being figurative, it was more about the light and darkness of the notes. It was not impressionistic because it wasn't purely texture based like Debussy's music and it didn't… Continue

LC 2nd Movement
I've now completed the 2nd movement for my first symphony.
It's a 9 minute long work for orchestra and organ. With solo violin and solo flute.

Technical problems
Due to technical problems (probably mp3 compression settings), I deleted all my uploaded pieces. When playing my pieces in IE there's a loud white noise. Reported this to Merrit but haven't got an answer yet. With this I will upload some new pieces (Leningrad Clarinet 2 and 3) and perhaps skip some older pieces.
Edit: The error was indeed in compression: By standard I export in highest bitrate and khz for mp3 which in cubase is 320 kbit/s and 48 khz. I've had some previous experiences with webp… Continue

The Leningrad Clarinet - 2nd Movement
This is on it's way up. I've composed over 6 minutes already. It's still missing an ending and the percussion section. The tempo in general is largo with some variation. I've also decided to include an organ in the latter part of the piece since it fits the mood of the movement. For this I used the PMI Barouque Organ and intergrated it with the EWQL samples using Altiverb.
The piece is practically based on simple melodies tied to more complex harmonies with some interesting rythmical aspects.… Continue

Fredrick zinos said… - Sure, take a listen and I'll even provide the airsickness bags. I've got a new piece "American Songs" that I will send to you by email if you trust me with that data. just ping me at fredrickzinos@gmail.com and I'll send it over.
As far as depth goes, I don't pretend to have any profound messages or knowledge of much of anything.. which you will hear in "American Songs"

- I don't think any of us can really judge with objectivity, what we produce. We carry too much baggage. We may be like the parent of someone who becomes famous. We don't see them as famous, we just remember changing their diapers.
I understand what you are saying about the "content." It is much to be sought after. For me, if there is a single objective it is clarity, which may be why I liked the piece I did more than some of the others (though, to be fair I don't pretend to "get it" on one hearing).
Anyway, what I heard is damn good writing. Keep it up.

- I very much enjoyed your piece for organ and strings. I will certainly listen to more later.

Anne Goodwin said… - Hi Patrick, I'm dropping by as promised to comment on the first two pieces. It is such a treat, let me first of all say, to be allowed to listen to your music at all. Amongst other composers on this forum, I cannot wait until there are recordings of your music to have and to own.
Anyway, my comments: the first one is SO peaceful, SO heavenly. NOTHING is hurried in it. There is an absolutely beautiful, caring, tender melody that just mellows everything inside me when I listen. Your second one, the nocturne "Luckbringer" is again BEAUTIFUL, and it's wistful, it's tender and it's sweet. I also hear the sounds of nature when I listen to it and I know for sure that there is a story in there.
Without meaning to embarrass you, I do truly hope that one day when I am an old lady that I will have the privilege of attending a symphonic concert somewhere where your works are being showcased. I would honestly be so completely thrilled. (Again, don't mean to say something that's embarrassing to you . . . but then again, I rather am well on my way to being an 'old lady' (lol)! Cheers, Anne

- Thank you Patrik. You are so very kind. Yes, I'm fine - although it is a bit new for me to be discussing what I talked about on my profile page. I will get back to you later perhaps regarding your newer pieces. All of a sudden I feel like playing my piano - so I think I will go do that! Take care.
Regards,
Anne

- Thanks Patrik. I ask for your patience regarding more music from me. "Words of Reverence" took 5 and 1/2 years from the very first note to the final stage of publication and it has not yet been professionally recorded. So I will write more music but I do not want to put up anything that is garbage. I am more of a visual person as opposed to an aural person when it comes to music so it takes me more time. And thanks so very much for your support. I cannot express what that meant to me. You are a true friend.

Per-Erik Rosqvist said… - Hey! Sorry, but I've had problems with my internet connection these past few days, please online so I can download it.. The symphony (3) is very unique, I don't think I am able to give a professional comment on that one.. But I have collected a few thoughts in a textfile, ready for delivery any of these days. I think it is very well assembled though the sound is far from "popular" music or the like.
I like it alot. But can't play it online right now... (telia is a pain to get stuck with ;)

All the best
