Jompa's arrangements ~ 29.04.2015 ~ Inne i den flyvende spekkhoggeren

Oh yes, definitely. I'd start over completely if I'd want to get it onsite.

[Maelstrom]

I'd wish you did. Your arrangements are absolutely incredible. But, that choice is up to you.

I must say I enjoyed your first movement for your Bassoon Concerto, though given its light nature and overall brevity, I'd sooner call this a Concertino rather than a Concerto. Are you working to finish this work?

[Jompa]

Yes it's not yet finised, but I don't know when I'll have the time to work on it again.

And thanks guys!

You know you're a nerd when you've spent an entire day making a big band arrangement of Pokewalker Synchronization and Printer Error... Here it is: (The playback has some trouble with swing, and the sounds I have on this computer are horrible)

Nice! Love a bit of big band and that's just perfect!

[Jompa]

Thank you!

[Jompa]

New big band composition! It's a bit weird.
The playback was a bit rough on the swing part, and especially at the transition right after - it'd sound better irl, and with some swing.

Definitely some weird bits in that! But it's still good. I like it.

What happens if you take this traditional Norwegian march,

and big band it?

I actually made this a couple of months ago, but I've been away from my mac, and I found it troublesome to dropbox it before now. I've been composing buttlodes these months, so there might come more stuff:)

Today was that day again - composition midterms! 5-hour test on composing. The assignement was to use the tones A, D# and E, either making a theme of them, or just having them appear all over. No limitations to instruments and style. I chose to do a D#-phrygian (D# and E) kinda thing with the tritone A as an important tone as well, and I wrote for double reed-quintet (2 oboes, english horn, 2 bassoons). The composition's most notable feature is the 3/4+5/8 time signature. It is actually inspired by the dream I had last night, where I was casually flying in the sky before getting eaten by a flying killer whale, only to find a village inhabited by mermaids inside it. Here it is:
