Don't listen to the negative comments. Music can take many different forms-- given the story in the description (I'm sorry for what happened to your extended family by the way) and the overall tone of the piece, it's clearly meant to be evocative and unsettling, and it excels tremendously in those regards. It takes a lot of courage to pour your heart out and make something unique, it's commendable that you were not only able to do that, but do it well, too

i love how in 12 the chord sounds blissful, almost like they try and bond but it doesn't happen, same with 24

cool to stretch what the saxophones can do, but musically, this "modern" saxophone "music" is definetely not my taste idk if its rly music or just squeaks and microtones

My best friend just performed this as part of her quartet recital and I was blown away. The soprano and baritone both moved to the back of the lecture hall towards the end and this piece becomes all the more eerie when saxes are coming at you from four different directions. Incredible piece.

Thank you so much! So glad you got to hear it live. I tuned into the stream and they absolutely nailed it.

Listen to reconstruction on baritone saxaphone also the lines above some of the notes I believe mean teeth on reed and the higher it goes it needs more strength and lower is less

I’ve never heard a piece like this or that uses contemporary techniques mixed with traditional techniques in quite this way. I typically don’t like contemporary music, but this evokes such visceral emotions of loneliness and pain and I’ve never had a piece do that to me before. Remarkable stuff! Thank you for sharing it!

Wow, this piece is so evocative and the visuals are subtle yet effective- I thought the phasing in and out of overlapping footage and the change of lighting with the tonal shift towards the end were just perfect. Also, based on the few compositions of yours that I have seen, you seem like extended technique royalty and you have really good control of the different timbres that you find. Kudos to both you and Joshua!
@hanhitchen20249 ай бұрын
Thank you for your kind words! Much of the visual techniques are inspired by the original film this was written for (which is much more intense than this performance video).
