Background piece

'Dance 4'

I was lucky with this. It was selected with music from other composers to play during an art show.

It's slow, quiet and soporific and some people say dark. Lasts about 4 mins. It comes over a little loud on the soundclick so your player volume may need turning down.

Thanks for listening (if you got that far!)

Nice one!

Calm, anarchistic… 8)

You have a possibility of expanding it just by putting subtle reverbation/echo/panning/flanging effects on the (almost) dry solo and percussion parts over stretches of time.

But the clean, naivistic, yet rich approach is nice in itself too

That was awesome! You have some real talent! Just a few technical things(sudden breaking off of sounds) to work out but otherwise very good!

Nice song. need to polish the drum sound.
Very ambient feel. too much cymbal I think. May be the song will be more clean if lessen a bit cymbal. hihat makes the effect.
Thank you for sharing

Thanks very much for these comments. I hadn't been using the sequencer long when I did this. The sounds came from a variety of sources and, yes, I need to polish a few things. I could tone down the drums a bit. I didn't like repetitive loops and these were sequences of 8 bars that (I don't think) every repeated exactly.
This was at the stage when I'd just learned how to automate the faders which opened all sorts of possibilities!

The piece is very nice yes. Did you use VST instruments? just out of interest which ones you use?

[Majesty]

Very nice! I like the melow/ambient feel to it. There are some really nice moments of harmonic change in the piece.

By the way, what kind of exhibition was this for?
