Lovely piece! But like myself, I completed an entry and then went over the brief again before submission. At the very bottom it states; 'Your piece should only feature the Attic Grand'. Currently revising my piece!!!

I might have a go at something else, but probably won't have time now. (Note to self - don't skim read the brief in future....)

Thank you for making this composition and also wonderful demo of the instrument. My understanding (haven't read the manual yet) is there is no tempo sync of the aleatoric or ornamental elements. Was that not a problem here because you are using NG as a centerpiece, or did you work around it? Or conversely, was it inspiring to have this random element introduced into your playing?
@enlimilaАй бұрын
Hi Richard! Thank you very much for your kind comment and for taking time to listen. I too, have not read the manual as I just wanted to crack on and experiment with my new toy. I also have String Murmurations and Small String Gestures which I think operate in a similar fashion regarding the aleatoric elements, but I have not worked out where the trigger for these aspects arises - whether it is at a fixed point along the arc or whether some other aspect creates the variations. I wanted the core of the sound to be warm and subdued to reflect that end-of-summer/early autumn feeling, but also to have the unexpected chirps, staccatos, etc to convey a slight dissonance/disruptive element. I found occasions where the random additions were not wanted, so I would shorten the midi-notes to the point before the change occurred and work around it that way. I also used 2 instances of NG each with different settings, one of which was more smooth throughout the arc with less random variations, and swopped between them as necessary to get the sound I wanted. I was not totally satisfied that I had got the best out of this instrument on this occasion, but as it was only my first go with it I pleased to achieve a finished piece with it. :)

So wish i had a camera in the mid sixties before Clyde Steamers began to disappear.. Now i take photos of Calmac and lots of Waverley ofcourse!
@enlimila3 ай бұрын
When you are young, you don't realise that things will change or fade and disappear. You always expect there will be another chance to get that photo, visit that place, have that conversation. By the time you realise what's going on it's often too late. I had photos from when I lived in Kilcreggan as a young man, and my parents had lots of photos from when we went on trips "Doon the Watter" but I don't know where they've all gone to. Must make time to look for them. Thank you so much for watching/listening and taking time to comment. :)
