For some reason, I have decided to write a suite for Solo Piano.
It's really a p*** take of contemporary music but still, admittedly, my own, more romantic and magical compositional style shines through. I'm gonna make a CD of the suite (intending to last between 30 - 40 mins) constructed of 8 contrasting movements. Unlike my usually style, I have decided to write the suite as Absolute Music, since I have no real reason or topic to write it on.
The suite is called AtomoSpheres.Below are the titles and descriptions of the 8 movements:
1. Harmonies of the South Pole (Anairy movement, with heavy sustained chords using bi-tonality)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Time and Peace (A romantic reflection of music)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Gravity (A heavy movement in the form of a Passacaglia)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Letters from Heaven (Lyrical and Magical)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. From Hell (Nasty and dark, very brooding)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Concerto Grosso (the right hand part takes the role of the concertino and the left-hand takes the role of the ripieno – in the right hand, the two ‘soloists’ are separated into one playing only the white notes and the other only the black notes)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Prayer for Mankind (A beautiful chorale)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Epiphany (A magical and jazzy close to the album)
