Church Organ

Here is an odd little piece I mostly wrote one time trying to literally write music, with just a pen and paper. I think it was some weird place like on a ferry boat. This is a 4-part series of very short variations, in a peculiar sequence: Variants 2, 3, and 4 are my compositions, Variant 1 is what I got asking BIAB to accompany those on RealTrack 2334: String Quartet, Rhythm PopChamber Ev 085.

Personal Note:

The original micro-composition was just for organ, and I called it “Church Organ” because it felt like that. When I played it for my mother, she asked, “So you still hate God, is that why you make music like this?”

I guess she didn’t like it much. Hope you do more!

Love the quote from your mum.
Hate's a big word for an atheist to wear.
Part one - nice
Part two leans to the left a bit.
Part three doesn't
Part four is BIG and churchy - a divorce stride down the aisle?
Nice aftertouch fade.


Cheers

Somehow, I detect no hate in this what so ever.

Thanks, folks.

To be fair to my mom, she'd been forced to listen to all kinds of weird stuff when I was a kid, and she might not have been wrong in suspecting me of a kind of aggression in the dissonance. But no, no hate at all. Tough love, perhaps. =8^)

I think parts of this are very interesting.

Keep on experimenting.

Mama knows best... I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either... I do however, absolutely love most of your musical excursions... like "The Fat Lady Of Limbourg, Tomorrow Never Knows and Let’s Make the Water Turn Black" and others...
You are amazingly creative...

Thanks, Mario. I should ask you some time about your thoughts about generative compositions that continue to evolve and play until turned off, the whole new age / ambient thing really lends itself to that.

Thank you, sir! I was actually JUST NOW listening to this and thinking "eh..." (guilt feelings over fake melodies) so the timing was great.
