    Very beautiful. I cannot tell you how much I long for rain. I live in a valley where the rain only comes during the winter season. Right now it's nothing but dry, dry weather and the ground is already cracked wide open. So, thank you for this very refreshing rainfall!

    I loved the central idea of the piece! It made me want to do something similar. I think it creates very interesting atmospheres. Even without the rain it still leads me to rainy weather.

      Thanks so much! This was my first time using felt piano, and the first time mixing piano with another sound, and it was really enjoyable to work on. I'm glad the music conveys the rain on its own.

      The felt has a cozy sound, I think. Nice for the winter! In addition to Takemitsu, your "mosaic" piece for piano was also an influence on this one.

    Thank you so much for this piece. Im a currently a high school senior and my dream is to become a competent composer. My entire “career” so far feels like a complete bust. My music teachers don’t care, they compliment my work but substantiate it with nothing (no work given, no practice, no direction), and my sense of theory is so misty, just a vague feeling in the distance. Maybe its nonexistent. I have no idea what im doing when I write, and on reflection of my journey so far I feel as if its been for nothing. Stuck to musescore and midi. No opportunities to perform or to hone my instrument (I think im just a lazy bastard.). It’s absolutey depressing, and sometimes I want to give up. But sometimes I hear something that draws me back, gives me some sense of hope, some sense of melodic thorough-line that I can somehow latch onto, some feeling that I can stand back up and chase that elusive dream of competency. This piece makes me feel this way. Thank you. Sorry if this is confusing. Musescore teaching has broken me

    • @MarkyD.Ingram
      @MarkyD.Ingram 2 года назад +2

      I can relate to this so much, even the feeling of wanting to make something after listening to this piece of fantastic music. I've been trying to convey an idea as of late a feeling of depression more aligned with emptiness over a feeling of sadness, but I've got no luck thus far. I think that has helped me in the past has been just playing my piano with absolutely no direction at all and eventually something will happen that you can latch onto will come by, it's also a good way to pass the time when that's all you have.

    • @bethanywakim6175
      @bethanywakim6175  2 года назад +2

      So happy this piece meant something and helped. And if it's any consolation, I never studied composition formally (had to catch up on a lot of theory) and don't intend to make a career out of it - just have consistently "tried" in the last several years. And if people enjoy it, that's all I ask for! If you ever want theory/notation feedback on your Musescore pieces, I'd be happy to give what I can.

      Thanks so much! Yes Pianoteq is amazing. Honestly I prefer it to sampled pianos, and you have so much control over so many parameters. It’s also nice to use just while playing - I typically practice with headphones/Pianoteq audio over just the digital piano.

      Haha idk about 24 but I'm working on a 3rd one currently! Hopefully it'll be finished in the next week or two, we'll see. Have you listened to Takemitsu? If you like the sort of ambiguous but still tonal style, I'd recommend "and then I knew t'was wind". These felt pieces aren't really anything like his, but were inspired by the "head space" I get from his music.
