This is my major work for Composition this year. I've been working on it for a few weeks now and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I would post the live recording, but it sounds awful because of how we did it.
I'll be very impressed if anyone can tell me which Bach flute sonata movement that I all but stole the key idea of this piece from accidentally.
I think I've already heard it somewhere...but can't pinpoint it...Anyway, very good piece. Just one thing, around the 2 mins. mark, the volume of the flute seems to be up and down. Was that on purpose?

Yes but Sibelius generated music has stupid dynamic contrast with no shades of grey.
Hahahahahaha, what a fucking twat. I loved that part where he acts like he's some sort of a god by saying he's been around since the late 80's. Seriously.
Merry December indeed. I've been listening to some Sufjan recently, his album Seven Swans in particular. It's a lot more stripped down and folky than Illinois and feels a lot less bombastic. Still, Sufjan is a fantastic songwriter, and it really shows on some of these songs:
He certainly is a fantastic writer, and there is some beautiful stuff on Silver and Gold so far. The only other album I have of his is Illonoise. I really need to find money to get some more.
I had a huge conversation with my friend about how beautiful The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! is on Monday. I keep getting urges to listen to it ever since then. It's so pretty.
