Hi, I wanted to compose a simple piano piece using
Sibelius, which I did. I've uploaded both the audio & the
score.

Score: 1st page

Score: 2nd page

zebox: 320kbps mp3

Feedback appreciated!

is this like a midi program? the key velocity sounds very
static.

he-he, thanks :] I composed it using Sibelius (the PNG files
are exports), then exported the MIDI into FL-Studio, and
used the Edirol Orchestral VST, gave it a little mastering
and converted it :] Glad you like it!

Pete: no bother, I'm surprised she didn't still have some
sort of contact-info for you already!

Hmm, the main melody is great like usual. Could use better
accompanying melodies instead of an obvious round perhaps,
but still sounded good together.

this sounds like a classical composition in essence.

i like the ending a lot, in the middle it sort of was at
rest, nothing really pulled me in there..

but very nice composition, sounds complex arrangement wise
also.

Hmm, yeah, I wanted to pace the piece rather than have it
jerk from the original theme into a wild variation: it
builds from being peaceful and contemplative, with the
spaces gradually being filled, culminating with the final
variation, which only briefly touches base on the melody
before climaxing to a semi-plaintive coda.

Or something :]

yeah that sounds about right.. its a chill piece, for lack
of better words.

Great composition as always. This one in particular-- though
more technical-- was devoid of any emotional quality, at
least for me. It's good for a listen or two.

Aye, it was just a compositional exercise to get back into
practising--I'm hoping to integrate Sibelius into my
"electronic" music-making to make it more dynamic :] Thanks
for the listen

Actually I listened again and like it much more now for some
reason, maybe because I've been listening to this inferior
track I made for you just now:
LAXY_TUTLE

I's ok, but it's quite obvious that it's for practising
only, so.. not much to say.

you always make the most charming of little melodies--I
liked it a lot, and so did Caitlin.

Hmm, now that I know maybe kids are listening I think next
time I'll suddenly burst out in expletives somewhere in the
middle of the track. The 'expletive' wikipedia entry is
interesting:

"It is important that you work hard for the exam."

It has no meaning here; it merely serves as a dummy
subject.

Ah ha ha, fucking evolution-baggage carrying
biological fucking primates fucking filling
their sentences with redundant references to their
fucking biological mating behavior.

For that track I used a supre secret bonus trick. Since I
have the complete opposite of absolute pitch (however I can
hum melodies in real time as I imagine them well it seems
(not chords though probably)) I have to tediously hum each
note to find out what exact pitch it is (I only learned to
imagine c major scale notes) while trying to compare it to
the tones of cheapy modplug piano sounds, so I can program
into the pattern data. Well, to solve this problem I simply
recorded a wav of me humming (in note c). Now its really
easy to find the notes, as I'm comparing to my current
humming to my own humming sound, so it stands out better if
the wrong note.

Can we have a tune made from your humming?

I can only hum one melody at a time so any polyphony added
on top would make it all muddy from too much symmetry. Thats
why I take a melody line I already made and raise it an
octave or something so it stands out by itself even while
the others are playing. Plus it would be embarrassing and
sound dumb. Its quite easy to spontaneously mentalize (a
real word maybe) melodies; just converting to modplug data
is a pain. I could maybe use melodyne to immediately
interpret all hums but it mostly sucks, and modplug data
makes it easy to create polyphony (for one thing melodyne
completely hijacks all audio so no other audio software will
work at all while its open).

Just hum the pitch of middle C and make it a .wav file to be
used as a melodic instrument!
