Nowhere is Here, Never is Now by mistermark published on 2023-11-06T15:43:17Z I seem to be on this experimental kick these days where I'm composing stuff by layering and building instruments toward some epic cinematic finish. I was looking for an interesting chord change for another (upcoming) piece, and stumbled upon this interesting piano line. The whole thing is just the piano line repeating, overlayed with horns, strings, percussion and synth pad. This one was uncharacteristically really short to complete... basically about a day from initial idea to recording. Then another day or so of tweaking here & there, which will probably continue as usual. Enjoy! image created with DALL·E AI using the song title as prompt. All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve. :) ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- here's some pictures I took: www.flickr.com/photos/mark_boucher/ my best photos on 500px (safe site): 500px.com/p/mrmark?view=photos Genre Classical Comment by zadude This sounds so good! 2024-04-28T14:20:54Z Comment by MJBerg Nice piano playing, kind of heavy stuff going on in the background. Excellent piece! 2024-04-24T08:45:18Z Comment by oddrun eikli musical strong drama, very powerful and beautiful. 2024-04-21T09:48:01Z Comment by Dave Orestes 1 really good I guess my thought is if you anted big cinematic finish to emphasize the strings more at the end..make them "louder. maybe deeper in tone..punctuate the finish??? 2023-12-07T18:38:46Z Comment by Steve Matthews Yes, very dramatic! I really like the way it's constructed, and how the sounds set off the musical narrative. 2023-11-27T10:34:52Z Comment by ~Mark F A very epic look out on to a bleak horizon. I can also see this (or hear this) in a film. 2023-11-24T20:28:18Z Comment by Witches of the Alamo Beautiful dark and grand. Piano sounds fanstastic very top notch production 2023-11-24T00:23:20Z Comment by Surfers like Us Hey Mark. Such a moving piece, man! Great instrumentation, great atmosphere! Very suggestive track and well done! But ... too short! It should be twice as long. A very interesting piece with an understated feel!!! 😎 Thanks, great work!!! 2023-11-23T22:32:09Z Comment by A E R O Very delicate & elegant piano playing... Amazing piece of art! : ) ❤ 2023-11-19T09:53:56Z Comment by BJÖRN CLOPPENBURG An extraordinary composition. I particularly like the musical progression with the nuanced drama of the piano. Good work. 2023-11-17T10:09:00Z Comment by Zabirski Beautiful music. 2023-11-13T07:37:11Z Comment by No Mates Ensemble a wonderful arrangement with veraious parts really pushing and pulling against each other as well as weaving in and out of harmonic play. Kind of thematic in a way whilst still never giving everything up and teasing/hinting throughout 2023-11-12T07:39:21Z Comment by Frank DANA Yes ! Some very fine work here ! 2023-11-12T07:25:35Z Comment by Milana Zilnik Very cool drama and this subtle build up of tension towards the end 2023-11-11T17:44:55Z Comment by Stefano Manotti Stunning and Majestic piece 2023-11-09T20:03:34Z Comment by AnandaTuk this is very beautyful, and a bit sinister.. but i really love it, It is very inspiring!! :O) 2023-11-09T10:36:09Z Comment by Richard Brown Dark and emotional. I love how it builds in the intensity. 2023-11-08T09:41:45Z Comment by Nadine de Macedo Should be the soundtrack of a mafia movie 2023-11-08T07:31:30Z Comment by Mark Sartori Beautiful dark piece Mark! brilliant playing and ideas 2023-11-08T04:56:00Z Comment by RENTT Epic and dark!! Great stuff man 2023-11-07T04:49:39Z Comment by Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary) Hey Mark man, this is outstanding! Very powerful themes expressed perfectly with the right instruments. I really like the trilling, repeated two or three note figure you play throughout. Really gives it a hypnotic gravity under which the rest thrives. It sounds very ominous or at least monumentous. Great composition, performed exquisitely. Way to go with this one, brother man! 2023-11-06T21:09:50Z Comment by Annie Smart Wonderful 🎶😊 2023-11-06T19:54:19Z Comment by cgmaness Brilliant Mr.M!!!
