Beyond the Horizon

Description

This is me playing around with time signatures, especially the mix of 4/4 and 3/4, using a lot of ideas I had when on a music seminar this fall, and a bit inspired by Peter Gabriel. I think this sounds a bit different from what I've usually done, but not too different.
I really hope you enjoy this and please, give me your honest feedback, however brutal it may be!

Also, I hope to upload a live track in February, seeing as my first classical piece (written for piano and violin) will be performed in a school concert in January - so... stay tuned :)

Marvellous
Got hooked on that flute melody immidiately. The different time signatures are pretty hard to handle, but you have pulled that off brilliantly. Very good composition. Guess you do all this via your keyboard... ? It sounds perfect. Could have done very good as a soundtrack to a TV series.

Impressive stuff Einarus. Very impressive:)

	Excellent You're right, this does have a bit of a different feel from your previous work, but it is wonderful nevertheless, and bears many of your characteristic traits, namely excellent production, and a great hook. This is excellent, Eniar, and I am really looking forward to hearing your duo for violin and piano! Check out my latest song called Scarlet Nightfall

	Beyond The Horizon EINAR!!! What a treat so see something from you - as usual, you're blowing my mind. Every measure of this is fascinating - I love the flute melody throughout, the blending of time signatures - how i wish i could think this way! This is just fabulous! Sigh......you're incredible!

WO ..my friend ..this is so impressive ...the intro then the jump into
another mood ..definetly a superb work ...my honest take is its too much
sync while you can keep it more classical ( I am biased ) ...the mixing
brilliant ..all so dimensional ...a real successful piece ..thnx alot
for sharin such gem !!!!

feedback...
Hey Einar, really great piece of music here, as is usually the case from you... the unusual time-signature-skipping does give this a unique lilt, very nice. As for negatives, I thought the piece started too abruptly, you gave me the initial flute melody right away, no lead-up... I want to be teased, give me some intro sans flute! And of course, you fade out, which I usually don't like... perhaps a real ending would be good :-) That's about the only suggestions I can think of, otherwise, this is a great piece, wonderful flute grace notes, sounds like you let the flautist breathe here and there, so its playable, and sumptuous melody and harmonies.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	Great stuff That's a good flute riff. The time signature stuff is not too jarring, since you're mostly in 12/8. Very well arranged, with sounds filling up parts of the spectrum without it becoming cluttered. Check out my latest song called Desert Stars

Instantly one of my favorites...
...among your pieces... There's definitely an acoustic Jethro Tull feel in the flute intro, although this goes by the board as the underpinning changes throughout the piece.... Really nice playing with the time signature without ending up sounding like a music school project... This sounds natural and musical...

I've written this a hundred times here, but I love music that sounds like it's just a whisker shy of having a vocal line... You certainly have a vocal ready melody line, if you wanted one...

Get Enya and Annie Lennox to team up on it and get it into the movie of The Hobbit...

	Fuglasöngur Það er skemmtilegur ævintýrabragur yfir þessu. Margt í gangi, mikið líf og fjör, taktbreytingar og læti. Þessi fallega flautulaglína minnir á fuglasöng og krafturinn í laginu öllu hefur hlustandann til flugs. Check out my latest song called Sonatina (1st movement)

The pacing ..

.. and instrumentation gives that sense of wide open spaces .. perfect soundtrack material for adventures in such wilder areas. The ethnic instruments might need tailoring to the particular region .. but it's a perfect example of music for that genre .. excellent performance and craftmanship.

Happy Christmas Einar and hope to see and hear from you in the New Year.

That flute
sounds incredible - the trills (? - not sure of the tech name, but I'm sure you'll know what I mean)) sound so real. I can hear Ian Anderson singing a counter melody here - and maybe a Peruvian pipe ensemble doing some backup.

Just a beautiful full "musical" sound. Love the rhythmic things happening.

Happy 2009 Einar!
