Hi,

this is a rather short piece and it contains no music, I hope you may enjoy it anyway:

Cheers,

That's rather a departure from your orchestral and romantic piano stuff. Enjoyable all the same.

But what do you mean "no music"? It has pitch and it has rhythm.

Thank you for your comment! Well, yes, I wanted to do something which takes not so much time as my orchestral things (piano must be someone else?).
And I wanted to do something where I can concentrate on sound textures.

But what do you mean "no music"? It has pitch and it has rhythm.

It only has one single pitch, a "d". In several octaves, ok. And there's some slight pitchbending in one of the MonoPoly oscillators in the background, but that's it.

Kind regards,
Andreas

Well, it had some of that droning/alarm 'The Dark Knight" Joker theme to it in parts. I didn't like the bombastic phasered drumbeat at 2:55, it could have done with a darker/smaller/filtered beat I'm thinking (just opinion of course). Overall, it's a cool modern minimilistic piece. I'd find a diff/better drumbeat for 2:55, and maybe break everything down sooner toward the end instead of waiting til the last 20-30 seconds to strip it down, anytime after 3:48 would be good to start fading stuff out I think. Cool stuff overall though.

Andreas van Haren. I was conflating the two of you. Oops.

Well, some of my former pieces suffered from too "thin" drums, so maybe this is some kind of compensation

[...]and maybe break everything down sooner toward the end instead of waiting til the last 20-30 seconds to strip it down, anytime after 3:48 would be good to start fading stuff out I think. Cool stuff overall though.

You would miss the Melotron then (which begins around 4:00 and is not really "loud") ...

Thanks for the nice feedback!

Kind regards,

Well, as I had listened to your classical pieces "sinfonietta" and the symphony quite often, I first was surprised to find drums at about 0'26 . This is a very nice music, and strangely enough (but funny too) I listen to the "schwebenden Klang" that goes throughout the song as if it belonged to your classical music. A nice atmosphere in this song, and with the rhythm-section quite great.
I can understand (as music is a matter of taste and never anything "objective" anyway ) that liars&ashes found the drums too loud, whereas I like slightly distorted drums often, and find them quite nice, a different atmosphere. Very nice! The mellotron escaped me though, must listen with better speakers than right now I think. Thanks for sharing!

[AndreasKrebs]

The M-Tron actually was not loud enough, so I've changed the end of the piece a little bit (some instrumens fade out slowly, M-Tron can be clearly heard now):

Thanks for bumping this thread Seismic1, and thanks for the music AndreasKrebs - I enjoyed hearing this! I really like the build-up and the ominous feel of the piece, and the slight pitch-bending adds a nice bit of tension to it. Good stuff!

Thanks for the bump and for the comment! (Whoa, this is 3,5 years old... )
