Hi everyone,

I love composing a lot (although I don't get to compose to often) so I thought I would share some of what I have created.
Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.

---The Battle for a Future -- http://youtu.be/3oT6UzPwVj0

My latest addition. A very high energy battle kind of music.


---A Sorrow Moment (a short piece for choir) -- http://youtu.be/iXO6uvG6LZo
---Under the Tree (piece for whistle/harp) -- http://youtu.be/iSwo2XqEXYU

These are two very short pieces although they're very pretty (or at least I think so).


---"Mind in Another Place" (piano) -- http://youtu.be/-GHIpX764kY

My most complex piece so far. I wrote it for a piano recital that was featuring music by only American composers. I could not find a piece by an American composer that I was interested in learning for the recital so I decided to write my own piece. My playing in this recording is not the best, I only had 4 or 5 days to practice the piece after I finished writing it. Also, I had just learned Alexander Scriabin's 9th piano sonata at the time I composed this so this piece was influenced a ton by the Scriabin sonatas.


---"The Forest Beast" -- http://youtu.be/QaLPrCXLXhQ
---"Buzz par la mer/Buzzed by the Sea" -- http://youtu.be/ywKfAiZH-a0

These two were a blast to create! These were both a project for a class I took.
For "Buzz par la mer/Buzzed by the Sea" I took a sound sample of a bird call, a water drop & the ocean and manipulated those sounds in various ways using the DAW software, Pro Tools. It doesn't really have any sort of rhythm but it has some really cool sounds.

Now for "The Forest Beast" I recorded myself playing some short little random things at the piano and manipulated those in Pro Tools. Everything you hear is me playing the piano, even the percussion noises were me hitting the inside of the piano lid.  :)  I'm very proud of this creation.

Thank you very much for listening!

Hello all!

1/4/17:

I have been working on "Counterattack" from Shadow of the Colossus. I started it several months ago but had no time to finish it until now.
It is in the polishing stages now and it would be very helpful if someone could look at it to look for any issues with formatting or whatnot before I submit it to the site.


Shadow of the Colossus: "Counterattack" [MUS] [MUSX] [PDF]


I know some of the slurs need adjusting, I will get to that...


Some things I would like people to look for:
  • Are there any incorrect notes/harmonies/rhythms?
  • Is there any notes that could be added? (ex. filling in harmonies, adding missing notes)
  • Any notes that you think are completely unnecessary?
  • Was my choice of hiding most of the tuplet numbers to make the score look cleaner okay and would it all make sense to someone reading the score?
  • How can formatting be cleaner?
If there is anything you notice that could be fixed please let me know!

Thanks for any help!
