Olivier Messiaen meeting Arvo Pärt under a tree on which are gathered a couple of strange birds...

very nice indeed

the piano is somewhat "mechanical", although it seems that there is some nice offbeat notes... the only-one-velocity-value issue perhaps? Anyway, this track is lovely.

thanks for sharing Smile

Mad Mad

Sorry had to get that out of my system first.... I am near desperation to hear your voice again Embarassed

Fix the velocity (and filter sensitivity?) issue here and you have one heck of a track here. It's cool to see the minimalism rub off.

I love the freakiness of the notes played; it makes for a great listen

marvelous indeed.

and if you don't know Messiaen yet you should check him out... he made some great 'birdy' music:

Technically, his music is an individual blend of various influences. From his earliest works he showed an interest in nontraditional modal scales, and in some of his works adopted principles of twelve-tone and serial writing. At the same time, he adopted and adapted techniques from non-Western music (such as the Indian raga system) and medieval music (isorhythm). These were freely combined and exploited in pieces such as his massive Turangalīla-Symphony. He was also intensely interested in tone colors, and incorporated new instruments such as the ondes martenot (an early electronic instrument) in his works. As well, he turned to the natural world for inspiration, especially to bird song. His immense Catalogue d'oiseaux for solo piano (written for his wife, who was a virtuoso pianist) uses these bird songs as the basis for the melodic materials.


cheers
