Composition 2 – Ideas

For my second composition, this is a brief description of the audio file which I will be posting shortly, which is to show in which direction I will be going. For this piece I have chosen to use instrumental sounds to contrast with the samples I used in composition one. My aim for this piece is to explore the ways I can use the sound of a piano effectively in a minimalist style piece. 

Using short phrases recorded from a midi keyboard, this piece so far uses repetition and the use of dynamics o fade in and out of the sounds subtly. These are ideas I will be broadening through the development of the piece.

Steve Reich influenced me to write a composition using a minimalist style with piano. Im interested in the way he uses subtle structural change, and this is something I wanted to explore into.
