Contemporary Music Composition
on: July 26, 2016, 09:57:15 AM
Hi all,
The idea behind this emotional composition developed when I started thinking about my future and where I see my life in 5 years. I realized that I have literaly no clue. I felt completely lost.

The moment I start playing this music piece, I tend to immerse myself in a world of immaginations. I see myself climbing an endless spiral staircase, wondering about it’s destination. With every step, climbing up becomes tougher, doubts and questions arise. Is it worth it to continue climbing? Is this the right path to follow? Am I going to reach the peak?

After hours of improvisation on my piano, the idea became clearer and more expressive of my emotional state of mind. It took me around 2 days to write this piano composition.

I would really appreciate all your comments and feedback on every aspects of the perfomance,

Hi.
Sorry to say, but because you employ 3 of the 4 most popular chords used together, the feeling i got was not 'Lost' as the title suggested, but quite the opposite: predictable.
You do have a couple of differing ways of approaching the structure, to some dynamic effect, still, the structure is so well trodden…
I suppose it could work as soundtrack material.
I would suggest experimenting with chords… and see how they might work within and extending your framework. 
All the best to you.

I really appreciate your feedback, I will try to experiment more with different chords progression
