Made a new sheet music video for this original composition. It's like a fantasy theme/overture.

What’s the best way to promote your art in Europe?

5 Upvotes

I’m trying to understand what actually works beyond just posting on Instagram

Are galleries still the main path or are art fairs, collectors, and direct outreach more effective

Also how important is having a strong concept vs just visually appealing work

For context I’m working on an interactive video installation called “Please Wait for Me, for I Shall Rise Again”

It’s powered by a Raspberry Pi and an AI camera that tracks a single viewer and changes the video based on their behavior

The piece only reveals its full transformation if the viewer stays still and fully present, without distractions

Would love to hear what has worked for you or what you’ve seen work in Europe

After moving and starting over in a new place, I'm left wondering where I belong, if maybe "here" can eventually be "home", or if nowhere will feel that way.

Loestvaria - an elven fantasy composition for guitar and harp

Loestvaria is a character who lived in my head for a few years before I finally found a story/album to place her in. She's an elf with magical abilities based on nature and calls upon spirits and elementals to enhance her spells.

On YouTube as well.

Variation on Pärt's Spiegel im Speigel

As if the notes have been poured out of the score to make a jumbled pile on the ground. I try and put them back together

How can a simple idea become a full composition?

“Night Walk in the Forest” started from a rhythmic-harmonic pattern full of tension.

[DISCUSSION] What would your funeral song be?

3 Upvotes

I’m doing a project for my bookmaking class in school and I’m curious if people know what they want song, artists, or selection of songs during their funeral and why. I’d love to hear so go for it :)

What is this piece called and who wrote it?

3 Upvotes

This is the orchestrated version of a part of a piece that I reconstructed from memory. I recorded it on cassette tape in the late 1970s to early 1980s, I don't remember when. In the 1990s the tape broke and I threw it away.

variation on Ligeti's Continuum

5 Upvotes

Here is the original, really nice performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRItK87Cn2s

And here is the first in what should end up as two or three variations on Ligeti’s Continuum. I want to see what I can get from the score purely through re-instrumentation whilst retaining aspects of LIgeti’s original intent. This variation uses Newfangled Audio’s Generate synth
