Really like your motifs and the way they develop in this work - well done!  I've just recently composed a string quartet, but after hearing this I'm quite tempted to do a trio in the future!

I am very glad that I found your page due to your contribution to the http://soundcloud.com/groups/candelight-piano ... you have very compelling music here on your site! 

@421no: Oh cool.  I'll def have to check it out...

Beautiful exotic music! It definitely sounds like a temple.....

This is certainly my favorite of the top four... very diverse.

Not bad. Very japanese colours in this piece

Liminal: Spaces, the new album from Be Still the Earth, is out now!

Stream & download : https://echoes.blue/liminal-spaces

Inspired by both the music and poetry of his stunning 2021 album Liminal, this collection of music features seven reimagined tracks, written in collaboration with from artists across three continents.

Darkly cinematic and warmly meditative in equal measure, this lead single (All Disappearing) is inspired by a poem by Sarah Usinger:

A seed sown in darkness 
a chrysalis in the shadows 
All disappearing then taking shape

Gustav Mahler: Adagietto from Symphony #5

“Temple in the Sky” was written somewhat intermittently between March and September of 2011.   The initial inspiration for it came from a lucid dream I had in which an ancient temple drifted through a sky thick with red tinted cumulous clouds.   There were strange, vaporous, and ethereal beings that drifted through and around the temple and they took me on an intense airborne tour through the great halls within the magnificent structure. 
 
The piece uses 013, 015, and 025 tri-chords as the basis for much of the harmony and there are 5 interrelated motives woven throughout the music.  The work is divided into three very clear movements ( Allegro-Adagio-Allegro) but they are all attaca and thus lead into and out of one another.   
 
The piece was performed excellently by Kristine Yang( violin), Alex Kruchoski( viola), and Emily Carroll( Cello).

Special thanks to Ryan Olivier, Dr. Alexander deVaron, and Li Ping Mai for their inspiration.

Anticipation is a powerful thing. In the form of anxiety it can keep us awake at night, writhing in terror and despair; as excitement it can act as a fuel for our most profound achievements. Nightfall Hysteria focuses largely on the former: the self-inflicted wounds we suffer when contemplating some dreaded fate in the dark of night. It is often those events that we are powerless to change that cause us the most aggravation. This work explores these complex emotions in seven parts, correlating to the form of a classical  rondo.
