Wow Eric did you hide that board from me when i was there ? lol. I would have kept the neighbors awake all night with the only 1 little song i know called "all my ducks" haha. Anyway im impressed your writing your own stuff and a little jelios, your a man full of suprises!
Nah, I just bought it a month ago, used to play a little when I was a young kid, decided to take it up again now. I haven't heard "all my ducks" but I'm sure its grammy worthy haha.. thanks for the comment Swen
I could take your comment as consructive criticism, but being how I'm not an aspiring musician, I won't take offense. As for improving on the piece, I don't think I will do much, its just something I thought up at the moment and played it out. Thanks for your in depth analysis though, I didnt expect that.
hey hey eric mate.....I know that sounded smart ass, but I honestly meant it as constructive criticism. Fuck mate...you know me well enough by now to know I will never lie to you ,or play the fawning hypocrite. I respect you too much for that. I will always tell you the truth, no matter what the cost, and I expect no less in return.
Seriously... go listen to the Beethoven ,and see how he turns initial monotony into something soaringly exultant. Go listen and learn from the German genius...
I hear what you're saying. However, I'm not trying to emulate Beethoven, thats a feat that I'm sure no one could reach. I'm simply playing music. This comes from within, and whatever it sounds like is subjected to interpretation, and I could care less of what it sounds like to others, it is simply a creative outlet for me. If I were to try and copy someone else's music, I would be a fraud in a sense, and the music that I create would be meaningless. I do appreciate your honesty though.
I know I've hurt you here bud. I regret that. You know what your friendship means to me. I apologise for what I wrote.
Noone is wanting you to emulate Beetheoven. But just as any aspiring writer should study how Steinbeck and Hemingway use verbal rhythms, so it's salutary and instructive for a composer to see how the greats handle notes. You're echong Beethoven's ostinato triple rhythm here, but it goes nowhere except into endless circularity. Never flies. It needs more stamp of originality.
Honestly, why are you worrying about whether or not you hurt my feelings...it would take a lot more than that to crush me, hehe..I've got thicker skin than I think you realize, Phil. Geez, this is turning into a fucking soap opera! YOU should know ME better. Going back on the song, i tried the song without the triple rythym, but its hard to fill the gaps in the verses, if you know what I'm referring to..and it ended up taking after moonlight sonata a little bit, heh
Yes mate. To be honest... a tad monotonously repetitive to my ear. Sounded like variations on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, but without the German master's genius for finding variation and counterpoint within the basic theme.
Needs working on, I think, during those those long snowy winter nights. And as it appears you don't have a girlfriend at present (despite those eyes) to distract you, you've got the time to devote to making that composition melodically more interesting and varied.
Keep in mind that I didn't take a lot of time to compose this song, just a few hours...Imperfections are admittedly evident here, but I'm not looking for perfection, just a way of expression
