IV046 Agoria & Francesco Tristano - KickThePeace (part 2)

I'm away from the piano at the moment, so I thought I'd share this with everybody...

Compositional sketch for a modern Pastoral Appassionata String Quintet.  Primary composition sometime in November 2013.  Work in progress.

Somebody asked if this is a "sad" song.  Here is my answer:

It is not a "human emotion" song.   It is more a divine/nature/universe  song.  It does not have human emotions like happy/sad.  It has only what is.  It has only pure beauty. Like a waterfall.  Or a mountain.  Or a star. A waterfall is not sad.  Or happy.  It only is. It is simply pure beauty.

Pastoral = of or referring to nature or the creator

Appassionata = with passion  (but in this case, it is not passion like between a man and woman.  it is more passion of the creator for his creation or created for his creator.)

It is more of a spiritual music.  This is what I will do more of later in life. Like these guys:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_minimalism

I aspire to follow in their footsteps one day.

Somebody asked about the plug-ins used:

Solo Bass, Cello, Viola, Violin 1, & Violin 2 from NI Kontact (standard set from Komplete) for this sketch.  Sometime later I will ideally record the real thing... (Or at least use more advanced string libraries.) 6 Instances of 2CAudio Breeze (which I am the developer of) are used here to make the Kontact Strings sound reasonably good.

The strings samples themselves are not that good.  The reverb is!  :)  That's the trick here.



Many new solo piano compositions to share with you all soon!  Happy New Year!

Andrew Souter -- Pastoral Appassionata For String Quintet (Sketch)

When I first heard Lungi dance from the movie Chennai express, it's incredible peppy catchiness only meant one obvious thing - someone needed to make a Western classical remix version. Imagine frilly dresses, wigs, Austrian nobility and state-of-the-art Erode lungis. 

The Violin and Cello were recorded on the really impressive Yeti Blue microphone, which is so sensitive that if you listen really hard, you can occasionally hear the pigeon on my window sill making enquiries about the local availability of pretty single pigeonesses. 

In addition to the tracks I recorded on my instruments, some software layers were used to expand the soundscape to do justice to this most excellent song.

Francesco Tristano - Idiosynkrasia (Ben Klock Remix)

Beatport: http://btprt.dj/26jiuO0

Francesco Tristano really needs no introduction lately, his music speaks volumes and his reputation precedes him; with that said we are happy to share ‘Place On Lafayette’ with you once again, this time including some stunning remixes.
The first one is a collaboration between two highly respected artists: Thomas Gandey and Radio Slave. The two take the track further into tech-house territory with the percussion driving while multiple layers begin the fall into one another, achieving a beautifully elegant and jazzy end result.
Guti’s vision is much deeper, with hints of dub here and there as the artists drives the tension up and creates a stunning groove. The final remix come from Tuff City Kids, who are known for their sometimes unconventional approach to making music, and in this case, it works. They channel a raw vibe and create something that is quite possibly the furthest thing from the original in terms of percussion. The pianos keep the thread strong, and the rhythm takes care of the rest.

Bach - Prelude and Fuge G-Dur [Brass Quintet]

Composer: Wenzeslaus Matiegka [1773-1830]

Notturno for Flute, Viola & Guitar, Op. 21 in G major - Allegro moderato

Alone was recorded in December 2008 by Robert Ian Winstin and the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra on the ERMMedia label, which ceased to exist following the untimely death of Maestro Winstin. The recording was set to be released on the Masterworks of the New Era series that was in its sixteenth volume at the time of Winstin’s death in 2010. After securing the recording masters from Susan Winstin, I was approached by PARMA Recordings with an offer to release the recording on their label. I am excited about the opportunity to work with PARMA on this, my first release with them.

Alone: Suite for Orchestra

Recorded August 8, 2012 by members of the Callithumpian Consort at Vermont College of Fine Arts, Montpelier, VT.

String Quartet No. 3: IV. Presto

This is an orchestral arrangement, I started right after my first string quartet in 2000. It is Beethoven's "Rondo a capriccio" or better known as "Rage Over a Lost Penny" / "Die Wuth über den verlornen Groschen" for solo piano. I had no time to finish it in 2000. But a month ago, I rediscovered it and sat down to finish it. This is the result. I hope you enjoy it. Any comments appreciated.
This is written for (2, 2, 2, +bass, 2 - 4, 2, 3, 1, timp, str).
