Splendid! Awesome composition and awesome electronic realization. It's a trippy ride through the galaxy. Your subtle color changes are masterful. Congratulations Orzo Mondo!
What a daring piece of work, OrzoMondo! I thoroughly enjoyed it - so, thanks. A question: Did you use Surge XT? - those sounds were great! I have long now treated my own arrangements as exercises in orchestration as much as anything else, and I know that you use MuseScore for your initial work. Thank you for providing the score. I don't usually look at any visuals on YT synth music uploads, but this one was especially useful. Great entertainment.
Thank you Karl! Yes, I decided to call this one a "Truncata", I really do not think the original ending does it a good service, this one IMO is more dramatic. And yes, I did use Surge XT, together with some sampler (for the piano), Dexed and Model-E.
This is both fascinating and incredible. I can only imagine the time you had to spend sequencing this. The choice in voicing is interesting and reminds me of some of the work done by Synergy (Larry Fast). Thanks for the most unique experience.
Well, I wouldn't go as far as comparing this to Larry's work, although you made my day, so thank you! Yes, it was a pretty hard work to get the score exactly right, especially because of the dynamics, which are really complex. I don't know if you find the same in your work, but whenever I try to get some starting point by getting some MIDI files here and there for famous work, once I start unpacking them I realise that they are full of errors. In this case I found a transcription (two actually), but amazingly they contained the same errors in the same places - wrong notes or entire parts missing. So instead of checking these half right scores note for note I end up recreating everything from scratch. You might be able to hear the wrong note immediately if you are looking at a Brandenburg, but with a Prokofiev composition is much harder to hear that one 16th note is a flat when it should be a sharp ;)
Wonderful, some inspired patches, I love it. The contrary motion chords and thirds sound particularly good and we can really hear what Prokofiev wrote. I think you have to do the ending though, it doesn't work for me in this version and the tempo is a bit too fast. Yuja Wang is amazing but Horowitz is even better as he makes the ending apocalyptic. I'd love to ear what you would do with last mov of sonata no. 4.
Thank you Graham! I will definitely listen to Horowitz, IMO the ending of Yuja just did not satisfy, but perhaps other interpretations would. I'll listen to more. As for the speed, I agree it's a bit fast, I just wanted to see how it would sound if one removed the technical limitations (I don't think anyone could play it so precisely at this speed :)

Thank you! It is indeed an ebullient, effervescent piece of work, you got to hand it to Prokofiev :)

@@OrzoMondo Haha, you made me chuckle there. I also use the Model-E for that fine and creamy E-Piano sound!

Aw, cute little cats in the beginning and the end background. 😍🥰
AI generated, but still cats :)
@@OrzoMondo But they are so cute. 🥰😍
This works so well with synthesizers!
It’s absolutely perfect❤
Thank you so much!!
I really like your arrangement. I never heard this before, now I must seek out the original.
Thank you! This was a recent discovery for me too - it's a fantastic piece.
