Hmm...

This is the most classical-sounding of all the pieces I have heard from you. It has the feel of a Mozart or other classical piece, and it's really sad and beautiful too.

Why did you call this scale of time? I would love to know. Personally it feels to me almost like realizing many years have gone by, but your thoughts as the composer interest me a lot.

An excellent contemporary classical song.

Wow! Mozart, I can't take this compliment, but I'm extremely flattered that my piece is inspiring you in the same kind of way as him, it's quite the comparison! He's still the king though! :)

For the title process, I find it after I finished a piece and listened to it many times. At some point it's almost like the subconscious tells me what the title should be. It's more like a discovery process than forcing myself to give a title based on a logical reason.

Scale Of Time came to me with the thought of how time is relative. Everyone experience time in a different way. There is lots of nostalgia attached to the concept too, it relates very closely to you idea, when 10 years have gone by, it seems like only 1 passed, and it reminds us of everything we missed, or could have learnt, accomplished. There is often an expression of nostalgia and melancholy with touches of hope in my pieces, maybe a reflection of my whole life is present in every pieces I put out. I'm glad I managed to express something that inspired you the same kind of vibe that I was going through when playing this one. Music is such a wonderful mean of communication!

Sounds nice dude!

Solacitude responds:

Thank you very much!

Really nice peice. Can hear a lot of really nice themes that could be developed into motifs or refrains -- particularly 0:48-52, really sounds like it belongs to the mid section of a really haunting leitmotif from a film score. 0:39-41 is a lovely swell as well, because it's an improvisation it doesn't necessarily feel structurally considered but it's a real highlight and worth writing up on Sibelius imo. My only constructive crit is that it 0:30 sounds like a slip up either on the note down an octave or as a minor pressing of the rhythm, but if so you manage to hold it together really well by repeating the same flavour again shortly after. Looking forward to more of your compositions, keep it up!

Solacitude responds:

Thank you very much! You got it right, it's not structurally considered, you're tapping into the creation process here, the loop comes from a longer improvisation session. Starting with absolutely nothing in mind for the structure, I let inspiration flow freely, sometimes adapt to imperfections. The slip up was not perfect but it was intentional :) There's another one at 4-6 sec, it's the scale of time changing! Thanks for the review!
