Personal Pieces

Op.2

All Compositions

Group Works

This is the first piece I wrote after going through some extremely intense therapy and losing all the maladapted creative powers I had.

You could say this is the first non trauma influenced piece I've written.

Peace - Impromptu Piano Trio Op.3, No.1 60BPM Db M

Unfortunately, the first two parts are meant to be disturbing and or really dreary and dark. 

These are meant to be the physical manifestations of my experience as a child, the contents in which they're meant to illustrate are a lot darker than I'm willing to elaborate on in a comment.

Approaching Hells Entrance. Part 1

The work of devils.

You know it's almost morbidly fitting that after I released this piece it stayed unplayed for months even as I'm writing this. May 2022

It fits though because no one ever wanted to pay attention to this part, only inflict.

The Breaking. Part 2

It's funny how torture feels long but healing so short.

This piece rings more so and gives me more comfort now that I'm living on my own and not with abusive family.

Healing. Part 3

This peice was inspired by Oculus Non Vidit composed by Rihards Dubra.

For me it has a different tone to my other works, somewhat more hopeful and less dreary.

That's to go without saying this piece is also inspired by a very life changing event I undertook recently.

Hope you enjoy!

Triumph - Orchestra Impromptu Op. 4, No. 1 Adagio E Phrygian

I absolutely love this piece.

It's so beautiful to me.

This is probably the most genuinely positive and content piece I've ever written.

It's cute in a way.

Bubbly 2.0 - Piano Impromptu Op. 4, No. 2  BPM Qt = 150 GM

This is a take 2 of a piece I did many years ago. Maybe 2018

This piece was directly inspired by Samuel Barbers Agnus Dei: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiuC_CaObbI

This was during my Barber craze, he is a HUGE part of why I still compose and a HUGE influence on my style.

I had always wanted to write a choral piece but I always had trouble, but when I transcribed the choir to strings I loved it and had to combine the two.

So essentially the piece is the same for the choir and strings, a cool aspect is that the choir tunes to the strings which I love the idea of.

Definitely a very helpful accompaniment lol.

P.S: There are lyrics but computer voices only do OOOO's sadly.

Agnus Dei - SATB Choir & VVCB String Quartet Impromptu Op. 4, No. 3 BPM Qt = 123 F M

I decided to remaster my very first composition! 

It's a piano and violin duet.

Today Remastered

Reupload because SoundCloud. Originally published in 2018.



The turning of a new leaf.


The irony with this piece in particular is that I made so many versions of this and republished them at least 60 times.

I was trying to make something that my dad liked, but all I really needed was to make something that I liked.

And though the motivation for this piece was tainted, I can say I genuinely like this piece.

Maturation | Strings & Percussion Impromptu Op.1, No.1 Grave Cm

This was my very first ever composition.

I think I wrote it on an iPad lol, it's fun it's almost like a time machine.

I believe it was created in 2015 around June, I was learning music theory during an independent study class my junior year of high school. I needed credits to pass and didn't want to take another music class I had issues with.

I'm still wrestling with the emotions I have with this piece, as of 6/26/22. I just got this account back online so I can use it as a secondary upload account for my main @gigiseppe.

I haven't actually listened to this piece in years.

Today

I wrote this piece when my sister moved out, it was the first time we'd be apart indefinitely. 

My mom had basically run all of us out of the house while my dad sat there and watched, I was the last to leave or escape if you will, but she was the first, and what I felt was such sadness of us being apart but I was also super happy that she got to leave. 

She is such an inspiration to me even though I'm her older brother, it was honestly her that proved it to me that if you kept going there actually is another side, that I wouldn't be pushing on in vain.

Anguish | Piano Sonata Op.1, No.2 I Lento F#m

This one it fun, because I never thought this was something you could do!

like I never heard of a 3 piano trio before and I was like "wuuuuuuuuuut, I can make one??"

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 I. Allegro BbM

This piece is actually alot darker than it may appear.

It's tempting and appealing disassociation. 

At least how it feels to me.

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 II. Adagio EM

This one is funny, I wrote it because I needed a third movement to complete my sonata, but I actually ended up loving this piece a lot.


The picture I took the same day and it was a beautiful summer day, this piece perfectly describes my feelings.

Almost like butterflies.

Piano Sonata Trio Op.1, No.3 III. Andante AM

My feelings and likes may not be what most people perceive but I like this piece. 


It was my first purely happy piano work and I love how it makes me feel.

Variations on Manic Euphoria | Piano Trio Op.1, No.5 I. Allegretto CM

2019?
It feels finished to me now, but I don't want to listen to it at all. Not sure why.


May 2022

I think I found out why I didn't want to listen to it, it was too comfortable for how I was feeling when I wrote it.

It wasn't having a hard time, I was.

A Brief Period of Madness | Eight Part Orchestra Op.1, No.6 Moderato C#m

This was an externalization pivotal personal death in my life.

It's a breakup song if you've ever heard one.

I actually repurposed this piece after I broke up with my first girlfriend.

For most people this would be no big deal, but, this break up was probably the single most consciously painful and likely one of the most important things I have ever experienced to this day. (May 2022)

If it wasn't for the pain, which I believe shocked me awake from my almost endless disassociation, I likely wouldn't have been able to eventually leave my abusive family situation and be free like I had dreamed since I was 10.

Her name was Elyse, and though this is a very difficult piece to listen to, I am forever grateful for the gift she unknowingly gave me.

I am glad I can appreciate it now and will never forget it.  

Why?! | String Sextet & Piano Op.1, No.7 Adagio Atonal

Another Revamp. 

When I wrote this it was of my first compositions with StaffPad (really cool app btw), and It is made of pure excitement and joy of actually being able to write music by hand and hear it in real-time.

I probably wrote it in 2017.

Bubbly | String Trio & Oboe Op.1, No.8 BPM 123 C#M

Finally a more recent piece.

I wrote a lot of my works with an intense feeling of loneliness and melancholy, this one is no exception.

I was very alone at night with this piece, honestly this is something I never thought I would share.

It's one of those feelings of being alone when surrounded by people. 

These people were my family, they had left the house for over 8 hours and I think it was 4th of July.

I had no friends and even if I did wouldn't be allowed to hang out with them anyway, my siblings and I would never be allowed to be with our friends, in fact, one of my siblings was punished for it so I never bothered.

Walk (Or Lovely Stroll) | Duet Guitar & Piano Op.1, No.9 Lento EbM

This piece is about my child selves prayer to have the torment and suffering stop.

In particular a prayer for my dad to want to be around me, because then he might protect me.

A Boys Prayer (For Piano) Mono Theme Transcription Op.2 No.10 .I Lento AbM

Just the symphonic transcription of the piano sonata movement Anguish.

Anguish Piano Sonata Transcription For String Quartet Op.2, No.10 .II Lento F#m

This is an arrangement, not enough space to put it in the title lol. A very personal piece to me.

I honestly can't believe how much this blew up! Thank you all for the listens.

Maybe someday I'll talk about the motivation behind it.

Variations on a Theme from Avatar The Last Air Bender Op.2, No.10 .III 20 BPM CM E Phrygian Mode

A lot of growth during this quarantine. 

This was the piece that symbolized my stand against my father's silent tyranny, though he was not as frequently physically abusive as my mother, his ominous presence of him never really being normal always loomed and made me feel helpless.

But as the title suggests, it's dead.

Tyrannies' Funeral March - Impromptu Vibraphone & Piano Duet Op.2, No.9 Adagio CM/GMixolydian

This piece is to commemorate the day I left my abusive family of origin.

I believe it was my birthday when I wrote this.

It took a while for the sadness to not taint this for me after I wrote it. 

Now I listen to this piece every March 28th at roughly 5pm. 

That was the day and time I left, the year was 2020, and I never looked back since.

I became free.

Free - Impromptu String Quartet Op.2, No.11 BMP48 BbM

Long time no see !

I wrote this piece a while after I moved out, I think it was after Christmas, but I wanted to redefine what Winter felt and sounded like to me.

Read my description of my "End Of Winter":

I also fell in love with the anime Naruto and the music in the anime, some of the themes inspired this piece.
