The title is Korean : 수월평원과 바다뱀 보급기지
 
"Suwal-Pyongwon" You can say this piece's name as it. I made this according to the pentatonic scale of Korean traditional musics. The notes of Korean traditional scale are given two propertieses each other. they are + and -(양 and 음). So, we have to consider them when we use Korean Traditional scale. thank you.

wow, this is kind of intense!

it feels a bit random, a bit noodle-y......

but i like the general feel of it as it goes along....

the korean scale is interesting, it is not to far removed from typical western 12 tone, and i hear some licks i'm going to steal!!

is this captured acoustically, or is this a synth/sampler?

It sounds really great to me.

I like the structure and the way the melodic motif seems to evolve and grow as you move through the cycles of the piece.

I especially like how you have combined the formalistic structure of modern Western style piano playing with the Korean scale and arrived at a fresh sounding composition.

I also enjoy the parts that are playing.. the left hand part sounds really confident.

Thank You for sharing.


best regards,

Really like it mate! Pretty intense as another has said but it doesn't sound too random to me, each section sounds well put together. I take it you are a student of Composition?

I remember when my dog ate my homework, but you have no excuse.  You just turn out some of the most interesting tunes around.  Now that I've heard several of your compositions, I can say that you are prolific and very talented.  No doubt that you will only get better as you get older.  Keep up the good work!

I actually enjoyed that quite a bit.  It never stays in one place for long.  And while the parts are quite different from each other there is a continuity between them. And I love the dissonance used as well. 

Quite nice. 


So are you all graduated and stuff now? 

You are absolutely incredible!  I hope you got a good mark for this.  Thanks for sharing this with us...I was waiting for it. :)  


So when do you graduate?


I tried Google to translate the title.  I have a feeling it didn't do a very good job.  lol


"Facilitate the plains and sea snakes supply base"
Just amazing!  Congratulations. 

Thanks everyone.

Lynn / Your cheer make me feel so good. I worried about unfamiliarity with Korean scale. thanks.

Adji / Yes, I'm student of composition major. Thank you!


mike_mccue / This forum have many Good-listeners like you. I appreciate you. It will be continue that trying to combine
                      Western structure with Korean modalic style :)

bats_brew / Western 12 tones are very good element of Korean modern music. I love it. thanks.

I love this. The changes keep the listener engaged and listening. Obviously, your piano playing is top notch, but the composition is even more remarkable. I don't know many contemporary piano composers but this reminds me of Andre Mehmari: 'Lachrimae' is one of my favorite piano albums. http://rd.io/x/QV4BCSJZGoA You have a very bright future!

This is some very cool stuff!!  I really like the dynamics in the piece, the tempo changes, and the odd (to my ear) harmonies.

Good luck!!
