Well done for getting this performed. The player really did it justice - hope you do well in the competition.
I liked it,
You hit most, if not all, the major and minor cues in the film perfectly, or at least close to perfect.
I also really liked how you didn't take the idea of motifs and themes for character literally but we still had an idea of who was o...
I really liked the piece, I can hear your influences very clear. The piece kept your attention through out without really boring any one.
I do have a few critics:
Some of the spelling of notes seemed questionable. Some times I feel that they cou...
Feather
The momentary pleasure that inspired the piece Feather was, well, feathers. Sitting at my computer flicking the stray feathers in the air, I pondered about the feathers that escape my pillow and get in the vents. Feather was written to cap...
My ears are open is problebly the most important podcast for those who plan to write concert music. Please take the time to listen to some of it.
Very interesting and very well written. I like your harmonic language and the three against two rhythmic pattern that came about through your canon. Over all very nice.
Its very nice, very pretty sounding almost Celtic.
There are a few issues I had with the piece:
The piece was very repetitive and seem to just have the same chord progression through out the entire piece.
There are also some range issues in your...
Why do you compose music?
Because I can. Because I am able to express myself with composing music. And there is always an opportunity to get more experience and knowledge about music composition + a possibility to get some additional money. ;)

Why do you compose music?
Because it moves me.
When a small little theme enters my brain either through me improvising on Flute or listening to music, I feel a need to take that little theme where I want it to go, I cant wait on an old dead compos...
Nice piece. I'm sure people will enjoy playing this. Not too much to say, just a few observations.
Of course the main rhythmic grouping is that of a beguine. Same as the Start Trek theme in fact (I know this as I have the sheet music). Albeit a b...
Yep, definitely made me feel a little dizzy! :) Of course, people who know me well say I'm dizzy anyway . . . or was that ditzy . . . ? Fun piece Tyler, exactly as you described. I notice that you like to 'push the envelope' musically with many of...
I wrote this over the summer and revised and finally finished it this month. Here are the program notes for the piece:

[*]Hurried and Off Balance
Fast, unpredictable, and a little off, Hurried and off Balance is an “edge of your seat” piec...
Hah Fredrick, by Jingo! I hope that I am not dull or jingoistic, but I sure hope the electronics make up for my non-commercial roots :P
I went to Berklee College of Music and did a dual major in Performance (saxophone) and Jazz Composition. I won the Quincy Jones Award while there as well as numberous other awards and scholarships. This was 1990-94. I never had a class that tought...
Academia is realistic when it claims that its responsibility is discharged when its clients or rather its “students” have measured up to the academic standards required for a diploma of some sort. Academia is unrealistic when it assumes that a dip...
