daj's dumping ground of compositions! :D

Have you got a recording from the performance?

derp. yeah, about that xD

Thanks for the reminder, and more than that I'm really happy that you're interested in my stuff. I'll go check out and review some of your things too! ^^ Much cheers~

That was a brilliant performance! Really brought the piece to life. Shame about all the background noise

I'll go check out and review some of your things too!

I recommend checking out Symphonic Images No. 3 as it is similar in theme to walk so you might happen to 'get it' as such. And because it's my favourite

That's a wonderful performance, you must be so proud. The piece reminds me of a rising sunset - slow-moving yet grandiose.

Do have happen to have a recording of mortis somewhere? There's only so much you can get from sibelius sounds. The section change at 2:56 sounds a lot like the great canyon (pmd1) to me (not a criticism). The pattern from bar 86 in 3/4 is awesome and I'm sure sounds very effective live! That's my favourite bit by far.

#5: really dark electronic ambient dance music.

it's a story. about isolation and all, but hey - it's a story.

I hesitated sharing this here, because it's not my usual fare (well, I wouldn't use the word "usual"). Also, with this being a legit music thingy which involved real dancers and a really cool choreographer...perhaps sharing the dance track in context online wasn't a good idea? Nonetheless, I decided that it was a cool enough concept to give it a shot :p

So here's the idea: the music is the focus, but through visuals, I guide listeners through the music! ^^ Lemme know what you think, haha <3

...and now the comments! I'm so sorry I didn't get to them earlier, it's procrastination ><. But thank you Onion and AA for listening and for the genuine thoughts, they're appreciated

I love the image of a rising sunset, and we used a similar image to direct that section during rehearsals! ^^ I do like how you mentioned it was "slow-moving", and that's a little habit/style of mine - to hold back the cake forever until somewhere in the middle, where all the parts that I've teased suddenly come together and you get a delayed kind of gratification. Yay for slow pieces!

But hey, thank you for listening, and as much as I am proud of this performance, I'm grateful that you stayed to listen

Unfortunately, no...
It was premiered live, but I wasn't there (I mean, a soldier can't afford plane tickets :p) and the organisers never got back to me, ahaha.

I'm glad you pointed out the change at 2:56, and the harmony is pretty similar to Great Canyon there, ahaha. xD But it's probably the weakest point of the whole piece too. Had no idea where to go, so I threw in a fast section. It's not to say I didn't think it through, but that...well, I had to write something after that drop. A fast section just sounded right in my mind, and while it didn't work out that well in execution, I guess it was enough to make it this time ^^

And the part in 86 - that was probably the first part of the whole work I wrote, hehe. I'm really happy that you liked it, because it was the inspiration that all other parts branched out from. Parallel harmonic motion, yeaaaahh!
