Sepharite's Compositions

[Sepharite]

Woah, haven't been here in AGES. And I come back to check my inbox, 26 unread messages asking for Spirited Away sheets

Here's some pieces I did recently:

Most of this is improvised, and cheesy

I would very much like to hear your piano improv 4 orchestrated. I feel that piano alone just doesn't feel enough to really get the battle theme feel for that piece.

[PorscheGTIII]

Yeah, you have some nice stuff going for you there. Nice! I think your Improve 4 also would sound cool orchestrated!

[Sepharite]

Thanks for the comments. I'm thinking of orchestrating it but I've only really written for piano. :S

[Alfonso de Sabio]

Yeah, I definitely prefer the Improv piece. I think you could orchestrate it and it would be cool, but I think it works as a stand-alone piece as well. It either version would have its own distinctive awesomeness. For example I love the fully orchestrated Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre, just as much as your next guy, but I'm just as much a fan of the Horowitz reduction:

They emphasize different aspects of the music-experience.

[Sepharite]

Ooh! i love danse macabre. =3

I made another short and simple improvisation recently.

Initially, I was thinking of the feather theme from Forrest Gump, with a touch of dissonance. And I tried to make it as sweet as possible, until the buildup. Hopefully I was successful. ><

One more random one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2H3rf8zsTk =3

Man, you crank out these improvisations. You should put them all in a volume and sell them or something.

No. 13: It's good mood music, but it left me wanting more. I think you stay too long in that initial chord progression.

No. 14: This is what I'm talking about. For one, this sounds much more like improvisation. It also sounds much more interesting. I love the dissonance and the development and metamorphosis of the theme. It builds really well. Well done.

Thank you for the comment! Sorry for the late reply, Christmas Shopping is doing a toll on me =(

Whenever I'm about to practice piano, and I'm in the mood, I'd bring my laptop and record maybe 10 minutes of material. I choose and pick, and if I'm lucky, I managed to hit a few right notes.

I'm glad you enjoyed 14. It was really fun to play with. It's based on a piece I uploaded, "Pissed Clowns" ><''

I also composed a little background music yesterday. It's nothing really, I just conjured it in about 2 hours. Any suggestions on how I can improve it, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for listening. =)

You delivered well the atmosphere of the image. I could felt what you described. The parts that worked better was the intro and the "solo" instrument. The low strings were a bit loud when you had that single melody playing. But overall well done with the atmosphere.

Pissed clowns is a fun little piece, but feels too messy as to give the sense that the piece is going somewhere in specific. It's enjoyable the ideas there, though.

[One_Winged]

hehe I love ambiguity.
No matter if I picture clowns staggering around drunk out of their heads or just going on a rampage in pure anger it works :p

As for the youtube-link you put up, you could try some movement in the bass-section, other than that I can't think of anything that would improve it of the top of my head.

Good job man!

[Sepharite]

Hehe. Thanks for the comments guys. You're right with the ideas never really develops, my music generally doesn't have a set goal, I just compose in fragments which I sadly have not been working on. I don't know if I can. Maybe I need to focus on form?

I made another piece that sounds similar to the "clowns", maybe I'll post the recording if it's decent enough.

Also improvised something. Hope you enjoy.
