I wrote this for a "competition" of sorts. This small string orchestra group, called the Kalistos Chamber Orchestra was taking submissions from students for a reading session. Only 15 out of 45+ submissions were accepted, and I was one of the lucky few. The reading was last night, but I wasn't very pleased with the performance... as they had 2 hours to sight-read 15 compositions, and so not much time was allowed to work out difficult parts (which I though was kind of lame, as most of the pieces played required at LEAST one additional performance to get it sounding at least somewhat decent,) I should be getting a CD of it sometime in the next week or so. Anywho, this is a MIDI mockup of what it was SUPPOSED to sound like... so here it is. There were 8 violins, 3 violas, 2 cellos, and a bass... and I wrote individual parts for each of them... making use of coloristic effects. There are some bowing techniques that cant be reproduced with MIDI, so its lacking in that sense, but it gives you an overall idea of the piece. The drum like sounds, are the performers tapping on the back of their instruments. A piece for flute, violin, cello, and piano. Slow and mellow/sad etc. Enjoy! |

finalcont now. fantastic melancholy sound in this. reminds me of chronos quartet (requiem in particular). these tracks both sound pretty good, but if you ever put any higher quality versions online, let us know. |

cant you name the tracks properly, by making the 'metainformation' correct?, i do this by saving the last version as the title and the performer track sounds nice |

is the ending of inverse correct? it ends with seconds of silence after a sudden stop? branches kinda rules |

the pizzicato part in branches is amazing! did they manage the tapping stuff without affecting the sound of their instruments? Inverse was pretty good! I liked the way each instrument dragged the previous one along. I'd like to hear these songs either with real instruments, or with instruments that are not pretending to be real (some synths and stuff), 'cause these MIDIsounds kind of ruin it... |

fuck... well, thats where its supposed to end... but the decay of the piano got cut off the silence afterwards.... oops *blush* |

the tapping didnt go so well. the rhythms were a little hard for a onetime run through of it, and they didnt play them quite loud enough to be effective I dont think... |
