Heres a clip of the 2nd movement of a woodwind quintet I am working on. The instrumentation is flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, and bassoon. It definitely has Greek influence to it. I'm still working on it...the whole piece will have 4 movements and be about 15 minutes long. This will be part of my masters project at CSULB. synthesimusic.com/Quintet2.mp3Enjoy, Pete |

Pete,
What can I tell you... I am very proud to know that there is a Greek musician that is producing compositions as you are... I hope to see your name in movie listings in the near future...
As for the actual music itself, I do not understand it as much as I want to due to my limited knowledge of classical music, but one thing I can appreciate is the orchestration and chord alterations that are used.
Is the music sequenced, or those real instruments playing? To me, it sounds like you have things sequenced, and if they are, you have done a great job making them not sound like they are sequenced...
Palli, Mpravo....
As for me placing compositions that compare to yours, I do not truly have anything....
I am slowly working on some of my own musical passages that may lead to laika style of music that I can post once I have them completed, but with work and many other responsibilities, I do not have too much time...
As soon as I complete any original music or more solo type of compositions, I will go ahead and post them...
Do you have any jazz style of compositions that you can post that I may relate to better?
Take care,
Taki

Perhaps someday this will be the norm in elevators everywhere!  Until then, there's still plenty of great music on internet radio and at university performances. Pete |

Take care, Taki Thanks Taki, I so glad that you like it. This kind of music is not everyone's cup of tea and, in fact, it took me many years to fully appreciate modern classical composition. It was by choice that I studied this stuff for my master's degree in composition. The department was actually trying to push me into the jazz program. Since I have already taken many years of lessons from the great Mike Garson (who is also a phenomonal avant garde composer) I felt it pointless to get a jazz degree. Besides, in the academic world, the classical comp guys are given WAY more respect than the jazz guys unfortunately. You can check out some of my jazz work I have done at www.excursionjazz.com or cdbaby.com/cd/peterdeneff . Also, I did some of the cues for the film Five Aces by Charles Sheen. I actually composed the title piece (a hasapiko) and played bouzouki, background instruments and sang a bit. www.imdb.com/title/tt0203503/ You can pick up a copy for about $2 at product.half.ebay.com/Five-Aces_W0QQprZ3377454QQtgZinfoThe movie is not really great...but the opening scene is pretty funny and tht's what I score...along with a few bouzouki cues throughout the movie.
