"Hi Ingo,
Thank you very much for listening to my music and for taking the time to examine it and give opinions about it.
I agree with you that perhaps it needs more contrast to avoid repeating senation. There is an attempt to present a second theme…"

"Hi Ramon, I have only listened to your first movement here because of lack of time. I enjoyed this piece. I thought that your theme was interesting, with a modern flavor, and that your development was well done and held my attention.
I…"
"Dane,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to listen and analyze my piece.
I also want to thank you the positive comments.
The fundamental idea of the octatonic scale is that the distribution of the eight tones follows a very regular and symmetrical…"
"It’s difficult to review a multi-movement work of 20 minutes. Sometimes I’d like to re-listen to parts to be able to comment. So I only got as far as the Scherzo.
Of the three movements then, I particularly liked the Adagio. It was…"

Hi everyone.This String Quartet that I have recently composed consists of four parts:AllegroAdagioScherzoPresto It is based on the use of the octatonic scale with some extensions to the chromatic scale.The Allegro tries to follow the sonata form with a ternary structure. It is exclusively formed from the octatonic scale.In the Adagio the first chromatic extensions are presented, especially in the canons of the middle zone of this part.The Scherzo has ternary structure and his style is strongly…See More
"Ingo, thank you for your kind comment. Although there are some passages in which two different instrumental timbres sounding at the same time, I agree with you that it is a simple phonic approach. It is very well imagined a more complex…"
"Very interesting Ramon, thanks for posting. This is monophonic, have you considered some harmonization or counterpoint? I found myself imagining some extra parts for this."
Toccata for synthesizer. Subtle differences.
A piece of microtonal music with four instruments that remember those of the stringed percussion type.Following the line of making music using a programming language for sound, I wanted to define two musical elements that were peculiar: a microtonal own musical scale, dividing the octave with 120 divisions as well as instrumental timbres that were also their own of the creation with computer and that were not imitations of the timbre of the physical instruments. . .If you are interested in more…See More
"Edgar, thank you very much for your opinions about my quartet.
My intention has been to treat the four timbres of the instruments in a serial way in the sense of not giving predominance to any of them over the others, achieving these dense…"
"I really enjoyed the solo passages in the second movement. There are a lot of colors hidden underneath the density of this music. Moments like these where one clear line is brought to the foreground provide a nice contrast with the denser passages…"
"Thank you very much for these information on the work of Brian Ferneyhough.
I also found very interesting the information you published about Lexikon-Sonate, algorithmic music generator by Karlheinz Essl.
You're very welcome Ramon..glad to have…"
"Are these along the lines of how youre using Csound?
Bob,
Thank you very much for these information on the work of Brian Ferneyhough.
I also found very interesting the information you published about Lexikon-Sonate, algorithmic music…"
"The mistake is to confuse the two previous spaces and use low-power tools to solve problems of great significance, such as that of a machine to make, with total autonomy, musical creation. That is when inconsistent products are obtained: beneath an…"
"All the decisions of melodic and harmonious structures and development have been taken by me and not by any algorithm. But I have used Csound programming language to generate the dodecaphonic series, with the calculation of time and tones, apply…"
"Mike, I think your opinion very interesting.The very nature of algorithms and computers implies that the tasks they can perform most effectively are those that are resolvable through the application of precise rules in a finite number of steps.…"
"Glad to hear you retained control Ramon. Music imo is meaningless if it is reduced to something anybody decent at math can do - it needs human input in order to connect honestly and with moral integrity, especially in concert music. It is sad that a…"
