What do you think of my compositions?
on: February 17, 2025, 11:27:06 AM
Hello, I am new to the forum, and I would like opinions.
I have many compositions done, and I have started recording and uploading them this week. And I need Feedback (positive if possible! :rofl:)

Every week I will upload one and I can upload them to this thread.
update
Reborn,

are the changes good? I think they are necessary...
When composing it, he imagined a rebirth, an awakening. Start again with joy and without reproaches. We are always being reborn in some facet of our lives. And each "new beginning" is an adventure to tell, a new job, new love, or even overcoming an illness. When making the video with AI, I was thinking about an idea, what a rebirth for humanity would be like.
I thought about a positive future, where the hope of moving forward was shared.

I'm still trying to improve the sound, I already have fellow forum members helping me. There is still a long way to go.
But thanks for your support!
The first one I uploaded is YOUR REFLECTION


I composed this piece thinking about what we see when we look in the mirror. Relaxed but tense. Your Reflection Who am I? You look in the mirror and search. Through the map of your face, you find childhood memories, the struggle of adolescence or how you overcame some fears. You see the entire sum of seconds that you have been able to enjoy and still have to enjoy. You also reunite with your parents, your grandparents and those more remote lineages that we do not know, which together make you who you are. Imperfect, but you.
You are never alone, and the most important thing is that you are and we are.

And the second one I have uploaded is CLEAN


In this piece, I talk about cleaning, cleaning negative emotions, cleaning the bad to rescue the good.
and this..
RESILIENCE


Resilience is the serene force that lies at the bottom of the soul, it turns storms into melodies, it transforms wounds into scars.
It is the flower that blooms on the asphalt, the bird that is reborn from its ashes, the tireless beat of a heart that never gives up.
This piece arises from pain overcome, not erased, but from pain you leave behind.
To think about it, I based myself on two notes, the E and the G, which never stop sounding, they vary, but they always return, as they move forward.
I hope you like it, it was difficult for me to record this one so that it will be halfway good.
I hope you like it!!

I don’t have any feedback per se but I thought the first one, Reflection, was really nice! (Though I do hate AI graphics).
The other two I only listed to a little bit but they weren’t really my cup of tea.

Thank you very much for your comments. I just want it to be pleasant, and that I want to touch it. About the AI ​​hahahaha you're right, I used it to go fast. In the future I will try to use other means. Greetings!

I listened to most of the first one.  It sounds nice.  It's well organized, nice themes.  Simple harmonic and melodic concepts, but it creates a nice atmosphere.  The thing is, I don't spend time listening to "easy listening" music like this.  I want to hear new music that builds on the classical tradition with new and innovative ideas about composition and how to exploit the resources of the modern grand piano.  :)
I know that's not your background but this is predominantly a classical piano site, fyi.

My music aims precisely at that: to be simple yet create atmospheres. Therefore, it could be labeled as minimalist or neoclassical. As such, for me, it's not modern piano music; I think like a classical pianist, which I am. However, I'm not bound by any traditional forms. I also feel flattered by your comments and very grateful for them. The pieces are what they are, and they seek to be pleasant and, above all, very enjoyable to play.

THE LOVERS
I leave you my new theme!
This composition speaks of lovers, of the first moments, of shared breaths and desired kisses.

ALAS TURCAS:

This piece came out of wanting to pay homage to the quintessential piece that every pianist plays at least once in their life, the Turkish March by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I start from only the first 5 notes to develop the image of something very close to the image in the video. The lament of an angel who finds himself in a world full of wars and suffering.

Here's the new piece I've uploaded:
METAMORFOSIS: I started composing this piece a long time ago, and I've been tweaking it over the years. It was more of a catharsis piece for when I needed to play for myself. I hope you like it!

That is REALLY lovely! Very enjoyable piano music.

Thank you so much! I've really worked hard on this one to improve the sound of the recording. I look for copyright-free images and then lovingly create a story. I'm glad you like them.

Normally when asked to listen to compositions, there is  bit of trepidation. But METAMORFOSIS was lovely, with equally good visuals.

Ca you say a bit more about yourself and how you recorded?

A little about me: I was born into a humble family, and from a young age, I stood out in music because of my perfect pitch. I finished my piano degree very early, and due to financial necessity, I started working as a teacher very soon, and I've always been one. Currently, I'm the director of an afternoon music school, and in the mornings, I'm a high school teacher, all in Barcelona. I'm very proud to be able to work with my piano nearby. The composition part is the only thing that takes me back to that child who used to play, and I've always composed during the problems I've had in life, quite a few and tough ones: long family illnesses and many deaths of loved ones. To the point where I lost my entire family, and only my daughter remained. The piano was always there, and I'm very resilient and always move upwards. Now I'm doing very well, with a new life. So, I suppose my music is a mixture of everything I've felt and carry in my backpack. A good summary of me, I don't know if it was what you asked for... but knowing the musician helps you understand their music. Regarding recordings... that's where I'm learning little by little, I've only been doing it for 2 months. Most are recorded directly with the sound coming live from the keyboard, without editing. But now I've discovered the world of playing with plugins... and I hope the next ones will achieve a better sound. Thank you very much for listening to me, for spending your time, and for your feedback. It's very motivating.

"I'm leaving you with this new piece, Clouds. In this work, I was exploring different sounds and wanted to let my fingers wander a bit on the piano, and I think I achieved that.

It's the first time I've used a DAW completely, and I'm really happy with it. As always, the sound took quite a bit of effort, and even so, it's still not quite what I'm looking for. Javier from S.O.L Soundwork helped me a lot; in fact, all the sound editing is his work. He's my mentor in Reaper, and with MIDI, haha. I hope you like it.
The video includes the sheet music because I think it's fun to see my characteristic tonal leaps. And also how my interpretation, as always, goes its own way."

Here's version 2.0. I've tried to get closer to my sound. The old flaws remain, as I only changed the VST, and I'm sure there are many more sounds, since this version didn't help me, Javier. But it's a sound closer to what I'm looking for. I look forward to your feedback on the comparison.

Is the original version better or the one I made myself? Cheers! (You can't say I don't work.)
