Updated.Okay, I "finished" this a month ago. It has some fugal textures, but is not a fugue. Happy you liked the most of the short passage I posted some months ago. This is what it became. Feel free…Continue

"Very enjoyable.
Many passages are very filmic, especially the intro, I ge images of the Voyager passing Neptune and enters interstellar space. Closest star many millenia away.
I think it is finished as is.
Good work!
Per"
"It's beautiful pianomusic!
I don't know what to add, very contemplative and at times evocative piece of music. Nice use of dynamics as well, although an increase of dynamics would suit the piece at the end (in my view).
You should be proud…"
"You are right Brian, the score is halfway finished, as of now :) Very happy that you liked it.
I heard on another forum that the four woodwinds are out of their range, every single one of them, contemplatin swithing them for a string quartet…"
"A really nice piece! Parts of it remind me a bit of Copland. Keep up the good work! My only comment would be once you finish the score add as many dynamic, tempi and articulation marks for the performer. I always overdue it, just to ensure the best…"
"Some of the motifs are very Nordic-sounding yes. I'm happy you enjoyed it!
Thanks for listening
Per"
"Hi Per,
I enjoyed this, especially the folk element. It had shades of Vaughn Williams in it to my ears, was it based on anything indigenous to your nations music? I enjoyed the counterpoint very much and there were some beautifully haunting…"
"Added a quick translation of the lyrics in the first post, for the interested ones."
"Futuristic and a little reminding of Vangelis, some of his works around the time of "Bladerunner".
I could fit in many sci-fi context and not have to do with Time travel. I enjoyed it, well put together.Much better than most filmic…"
"I found it very relaxing to listen to.
It's completely adequate film-music. It's a good mix/production as well, but perhaps a litte too much reverb. It is easy to do that mistake. It makes it muddled at times, especielly instruments…"
"Very well performed. I won't mention any piece specifically, as the others did, but just say that it was an enjoyable time spent.
Very good, so good I added you on soundcloud :)
Per"
"Thanks Serenity. Now it became what it is. Not much sonata over it, but still listenable. To me.
Thanks for your listen!"
"I posted it in XML, since my PDF was 47Mb and that is huge. That problem should be fixed. I'm probably no killing enough goats to Odin, hence being punished.
This became something else, based on counterpuntal stuff and shorter canons here…"
"Thanks All, almost forgot about this one. Sorry for the delay, will upload the "finished" version in a short while, and respond to you individually.
Thanks"
"Happy to hear that Lawrence, and thanks for the welcoming. As the lyrics are easily translated I will do that. In an hour so .
Thanks for your time!"

- About Me (Must include at least one paragraph of biographical information about you as a composer) - blank or minimal answers on this line will cause your request to be rejected. Include a link to your website if you have one.
- I was here a year or so back in time. I cancelled my account for personal reasons and now I'm back.
I live in the archipelago of Stockholm and have composed music since I was 12.
Right now - in my current developmental state- I'm into folkmusic (with influences from Chinese, Scandinavian and to a lesser extent Slavic traditional music).
I am also making pieces - semi-classical works of combined folk and baroque/classicist influences - prehaps suitable for film or television. Studying these historical tools in a low pace at the moment.
My goal is to develop my skills in composition over time - assemble tools from the theory of the baroque, renaissance and classical periods, to become a better composer.
I study the baroque period now, counterpoint, The "musical idiom" of Bach in particular, and to a lesser extent the fugue.
I don't play any instruments, only a little piano, but was a pretty average pianoplayer when I was 15. But composition for me is something else than being a musician. It is another level of abstraction than just finding a nice melody on a guitar or bagpipe, I write all my music down, and only play if I lack inspiration.
This gives me an entirely theoretical framework, that may or may not make it more easy to assemble the tools (e.g. counterpoint, or Shoenberg) from musical history, to further my development.
I will study classical/baroque composition (and exotic foreign types of forms, as well) until I have knowledge comparable to a classical music graduate. I'm aiming for 5-10 years.
Enough about me!
I'm happy to be back and will post a piece right away!

As far as I remember, using VST Expression Maps had problems with auditioning in Cubase 5.1 I am not sure, but I spent several days trying to use them, until I found these bugs. I hope this was resolved in later versions. Of course, I use curves (modulation CC1 mainly), if you mean it.

I did not use expressions, because they are buggy in Cubase. I used 16 channels per track without key switches, because keyswitches take too much time to set up. You can see it my article here: http://alch.us.to/articles/csboa/
No differences on my profile page and my site.
Thank you very much for your comment, I think it will inspire me for further victories :)
Did you listen to Walker?
