This movement is for violin and piano. The violin is animated and perhaps frantic (if possible at all).

Perpetual Motion (http://www.planetcanadice.com/Music/PerpetualMotion_M.Drost.mp3)

Please give it a listen and let me know what you think about it.

It's about 2 minutes long.

Thanks.

Marko;

I like it. Interesting composition If I were to guess the libraries, Bosendorfer 290, and Kirk hunter solo strings. Am I even close.

It sounds great! and very progressive. I mean, the ostinato parts on the piano sound closer to Keith Emerson style to me. Funny piece, I like it!

What libraries have you used?

Cheers!

ddarwin7,

You're right. It's the Bosendorfer, KH violin, and a bit of pizzicato-col legno from VSL violin (from the Orchestral Cube).


Sr Velasco,
Kieth Emerson! Wow. It's been a long time since I listened to him.

Thanks for listening.

I like it. It definitely evokes a mood of freneticism, as I can only suppose it's meant to do. If you've ever seen an intrigue film called The Sticky Fingers of Time, it would've worked perfectly with that. Nicely done.

Thanks Michael. I'll have to see that film. I wonder if this would work well to complement a film sequence.

Thanks Yves. The midi preparation probably took me a few days. The ostinato theme of the violin required a lot tweaking. The composition itself was probably done over the course of a few days. It's the last movement from a violin and piano piece that I worked on several years ago with a different sample library. (The other movements were not as exciting.)

Thanks for listening.
