[JAYASEKERA]

Thanks, mate. I needed a bit of cheering up today. :D

[Lillemy1]

I just love sitting here and listen to this!

Its beautiful!

:)

[JAYASEKERA]

Thank you, Lillemy. I'm going to have to look into recording and releasing a bunch of these works soon, so stay tuned!

I really appreciated your taking the time to give my music a listen. I'll do the same for you.

[DigitalMercury]

dude, you are an awesome composer. wow.

[JAYASEKERA]

yayayayay! thanks, mate. This one is fun to play.

[ShogaNinja]

So you are you recording this live?

Ever use a program such as FL Studio or Reason?

[JAYASEKERA]

No, it was created in Sibelius, and then edited a little in Cubase.

I use Sibelius, Cubase, and Cool edit.

[ShogaNinja]

I understand now. I use FL Studio to do the same thing only it does not use notation it uses dots and lines. However you have now given me a great idea of merging the two softwares for greater effect. Thanks for that.

Keep up the good work.

Bravo! Excellent composition! Yeah, reminds Inventions but it has its own charm. Lovely.

[PhillipLWilcher]

It's really an Invention - yes? Well, inventive you are! Impressive work Matthew!

This is a very nice piece! I love the effectiveness that the trills add! Did you play this on a piano or did you use a program?

[JAYASEKERA]

I wrote it in Sibelius originally, and then worked on it in Cubase. I have learned to play it, though it's not smooth enough to record and publish just yet.

[scir91]

this reminds me of getting on line in a school and then looking around to see what's going on and thinking about playing nintendo and eating snack cakes during recess

[JAYASEKERA]

:D Yeah, that's what I used to do.... but I played Sega games and ate meat pies.

[KowboyCa]

I like your changing basslines with the melodies over the top. Maybe you could do a choral piece, maybe 4 part harmony for the Bass, Tenor, Alto and Suprano which is what we do alot of in choir, (I'm not a singer, but I have to do this as part of my music course), but for example if you listen to William Byrd arrangement of Ave Verum. Keep em coming :)

Music course? What are you studying exactly, and do you find it rewarding at all?

Apart from piano lessons I've done little else but teach myself to do all of this. I can't really afford to go to music school, and always wondered if it was any good. Most of the people I interact with that went to music school seem more caught up in the school than music itself.

[KowboyCa]

Well it's a popular music course in university, I'm aim to become mainly a session musician, it's a very busy schedule with lots to learn all of the time. In fact I've just come back from a rehearsal. But it depends what sort of music you're talking about and what sort of music school.

[FullTiltChallenge]

Interesting piece, starts off happy, then enters a slightly chaotic section, where is the resolution at 2:12? I'm still waiting for it...lol

[JAYASEKERA]

Not all the music I write ends definitively.

That's part of the expressiveness of tonality. My expression of longing via an unresolved cadence.

It's "open ended", if you will. ;)
