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

Mike Hewer replied to Per-Erik Rosqvist's discussion For four woodwinds no 1 - Dance of elves

"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…"

Per-Erik Rosqvist replied to Olivér Kovács's discussion Time Travel

"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…"

Per-Erik Rosqvist replied to David Lilly's discussion Generic Library Music attempt ( #2)

"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…"

"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…"

Per-Erik Rosqvist replied to Beethovenius's discussion Fuge in d-minor

"This can become very good. The subject is nice and it is overall good counterpoint."

Per-Erik Rosqvist replied to Kristofer Emerig's discussion Fugue.. alas, the forgotten art.

"I enjoyed this immensely. But why not use a piano or organ or any other sounding instrument than the harpsichord here. Maybe it is just me. It has no dynamics while playing, if I'm not completely mistaken. As Lawrence said, you are unique in…"

There is some contrapuntal stuff put in there for your well-being. But a song it is.Composition: PERVocals: MariaChoir: Leif, Lena, MariaLyrics Carl BrandtThere is no score of this as of yet. I only use scores for fugues and sonatas, this is a song.My 2-minute translation of the lyrics:A melancholic mind becomes just a memoryAnd the heat of the night makes bodies lightWhen I drown in eternitywith youAll you carry, it may leaveAnd give place for what the night givesWhen I drown in eternitywith…See More

Profile Information

What have you composed for? Or what medium do you work around?: Film, Television, Orchestra, Small Ensemble, Big Ensemble, Songs, Other

What is your favorite genre or style of music?: Classical, baroque, extreme metal and romanticism :)

Is music your main income source?: Sort Of - Music Related

Where do you live?: Stockholm, Sweden

About Me (Must include biographical information about you as a composer):: 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!

Thanks!

I hope this was resolved in later versions. Of course, I use curves (modulation CC1 mainly), if you mean it.

At 10:38am on September 9, 2013, Alexey Arkhipenko said…: 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?
