This reminds me of Professor Layton for some reason, nice job!

 This sounds like something from little nightmares

Really sounds like the Alice madness games

Igor Stravinsky: 3 movements from Petrushka - 1 Danse Russe

Hymn To Faith

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!

The Cloud Atlas Sextet For Orchestra

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).
