I'm hearing a lot of color tones and altered harmony, are you taking the line as the focal point of 'intonality' or are you developing a shifting harmonic scheme around a diatonic melody? Regardless, very musical.
@pickinstone Thanks for your comment! Could you define "intonality?" I was trying to google it but can't find anything about it. I guess one of the things that is happening is that I'm shifting different harmonic configurations around the open G string, and the melodic material is generated from that as a result.
@juancomp I meant 'Atonality'. I have to watch my typos. That's a great composing technique, one of the many wonders of the guitar is the use of open strings for wide interval voices and interesting spreads. I'm trying to bring out open strings in my jazz playing. Hey, they are there, aren't they. Thanks for the tidbit.
I was expecting some harmonic nonsense, you know ...meandering musical shite that only those of a high intelligence could understand. But I was impressed. Quite beautiful, juancomp. Both your performance and the composition are very good.
I find that the guitar is an excellent medium for atonal music of a meditative or reflective character. This piece has an engagingly "romantic" quality that will appeal to many in the audience who may not ordinarily respond well to music not composed in any particular key or mode.
Great material! una chimba!
