Hello everyone,

It's been so long! Calculus is just comsuming most of my time. But having studied from 6am to 5am of the next day, I've caught the morning impression (you can get really whimsical around 5am) and just improvised on my keyboard.

Its really out of my whimsical mode, so it might sound random, but please do give feedback where is my composition skill currently at and what should I work on to improve the skill.

Arigatou desu!:lol:

First off, I just love this piece. I think you captured the early moments of morning perfectly (I too spend most mornings slaving away at this time lol). I personally think this is great, I mean, I have a terrible ear for music, I'm all mathematical when it comes to it, but, i just love this piece. Just my opinion, but I see nothing wrong, this really something I can sit back and listen to for the sake of it. I'm not really that good at composing myself so I'm afraid I can't give much useful input; I also don't care much about the technicalities of music, I'll like it if it sounds good, and paints a pretty picture:lol: Anyway, I really hope to seem more of your works, this is randomish but, I like it, why not try something more structured maybe? Anyway, sorry I can't give much advise, but, I'm really looking forward to future compositions!

That was fantastic! I loved the spirit of the improvisation! I can imagine some scenes in my head where it would be perfect. I really need to get better at piano haha. I want to be able to run my fingers over the keys like you can!

To me, there's a difference between impromptu and "sketching." This to me sounds like a long series of sketches for a piano piece. The sketches have potential, but you've got to make it coherent. Also, I'm not a fan of the strings in the back. In my opinion, if you're going to invest in strings, they've got to do more than just hum chord progressions in the background. If you want strings, give them an actual part to play.

But I guess what you're shooting for is more of an impressionistic piece, which means it doesn't need to have AS MUCH organization as say, a classical sonata, but music is organized sounds, right? It still needs to be a tad more structured. I mean, Claire de Lune is exactly the kind of thing you should study. It's about moonlight. It's an impressionist piece in that regard. But oh my, does it ever have structure. And it's still gorgeous.

But, you've shown real potential. You could be great if you keep it at!

As a piano piece is very nice. My only complains already where said; mostly the strings and the structure of the piece. Some contrasts in the music could have helped the piece to stand out more than just having all in the same "line". I think you can polish this piece for have something more elaborated and more presentable; though is an improvisation, lol. But still, it is nice what you have there. Just look how to use and organize that material to connect it in a coherent way with other contrasting ideas that can help in the aura of this piece.

Hey everyone,

Thank you very much for your feedback! :lol: I do need to focus on structure. After exam I am starting my little compositional project, "Inferno", then I shall practice paying attention to structures and details more rigorously.

Mean while, another morning has inspired me to improvise. This time, I took the advice and not only use piano and string, but try another timbre altogether. Its experimental, so do tell me what you think. And I tried to think of song structure in my head, but just got lost in the mist of morning atmosphere (...and lost my structure entirely in the middle :heh:).

It's a soft synth isn't it? Just loaded onto another channel on the keyboard. I really liked it. It's actually why I commented on the improv's spirit. I think the piano on it's own is not nearly as effective as with the synth. Well...I think it's a synth. If a keyboards piano patch can sound that good, the strings would be more recognizable as well. Unless it's a string synth patch.

I just listened to your morning. It was kind of ironic cause I just uploaded a morning theme I had written too lol. Love the rubatto for the piano. Nice and relaxing. The opening arppegio is nicely worked out. Good job!

This is a beautiful piece. I can imagine the sun coming up and someone waking up and doing stuff ^^ I agree with Alfonso de Sabio, however, that the strings shouldn't just be there to be there. I think it's cool for you to keep them in the background kind of to guide the melody but you should give them more love than that T_T I also think some kind of woodwind instrument would do this piece some good, too. Not something to take over... just accents here and there. I have the sound in my head but, unfortunately, I have no idea what it is! I have a horrible time identifying instruments >.>

The strings in 2:30-2:42 sounds weird to me. Like they stick out for the wrong reason...

I like the texture, but the harp part is too 'pianistic' sounding to me (though understandable since you played it on the keyboard) so you might as well just have stuck with the piano sound :\. And while the music itself has a nice feeling I suppose, but I think it meanders around the same territory too much. Might want to go back and fix those wrong notes too.

I liked your last 2 pieces (haven't listen to any other yet).
I don't agree with other people saying that you should "justify" the existence of the strings in the morning piece, even if they made 1 single note the whole time it would still make the piece a completely different one than one without it; I understand the critic, specially if you think on actually performing it, but I don't share it considering only the content of the composition. I really enjoyed "Morning", the only comment I can make is that some dissonances after 1:35 sounded a bit "accidental" XD.
Holy... I hope all what I said makes sense, my English isn't that good yet.

I hope you keep sharing your works!
