It is influenced by Incantations which you will no doubt identify when you hear it. It is very minimalist but I think it has lots of potential. All comments welcome!

In my opinion this track can be extended into something longer, as you proposed. Though not original, it's very light and sparkling, and I like it very much. -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

They got very famous with it, so who knows? -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

I am a classically trained composer, so this is a little different to what I normally do, but although it is all electronic, it was actually scored traditionally in sibelius first. One question, can you hear the incantations influence there at all? -------------- www.ryanyardmusic.com Back to top

IMHO it sounds somewhat like a speeded up version of the beginning of part 2, and the sequencer-loop at the end is unmistakable. -------------- "While we are alive we should sit among colored lights and taste good wines, and discuss our adventures in far places; when we are dead, the opportunity is past." - Jack Vance Back to top

It is now for 4 synths and solo clarinet and will be premiered in May this year. Tell me what you think now of this final version! -------------- www.ryanyardmusic.com Back to top
