It's definitely taken practice! But creating a coherent transition between two contrasting sections of music is one of my favourite compositional challenges to tackle :)
Definitely can't deny that at all! Being in the early stages of my musical career, I'm still in the process of finding my own unique stylistic voice. Part of that process involves creating a tonne of music that sounds similar to existing work that has inspired me, so it should come as no surprise that a lot of my output sounds somewhat generic. But having said that, I'll always maintain that it's not necessary to break new ground with every single piece you create - in fact, it's a pretty unrealistic expectation to have of anybody, let alone yourself. Rather, I just focus on creating *something*... and occasionally I'll stumble across something that makes me go "hey, I haven't heard that before" :) As a side note, this piece did get selected to be recorded by our national orchestra in October, so I must be doing something right!
I've amassed a sizeable collection over the years haha - the woodwinds are a mix of Hollywood Woodwinds (East West), 2001 Piccolo Shire (Soundpaint) and Infinite Woodwinds (Aaron Venture). A full plugin list is on the description of the full piece (link in this video's description). Thanks for checking this out!
