GG man, i loved your composition (told u on souncloud but forgot here, well deserved podium, very nice work !

As I listen to this, I feel the urge to make sure there isn't anything on my roof poised to fall on my head... Don't think I've heard a trombone quintet before but this sounds fantastic. Love the flow from the beginning to the almost triumphant middle section to the chaos of the final section before that gorgeous chord you end on. Reminds me a bit of the brass section cutting through in Balada's Gurenica. Nice manifestation of "break the rules".

Such an interesting track ! Very modern in it's approach, lots if ideas well executed 

I loved the triumphant theme that starts at 1:55 !

Congrats on the orchestration too, using only brass, you stil manage to create a lot of different textures

There's a very ominous vibe to it, definitely breaks a lot of rules, but in a very coherent manner

Well done, very original ! 

Really cool tense music here and I liked the use of all the bends and also the repeating parts being passed around through different instrumentation to create a sense of tension. 

As someone who very rarely touches orchestral composition, I'm finding myself very inspired by all the cool sounds and moments you were able to create in this piece. The sections are all very effective in creating certain moods and play very well into the theme of breaking the rules!

Anxiety inducing for sure, well done! I really enjoyed the juxtaposition between the chaotic atonality and the more tender moments

This one is awesome! I love the orchestral take on the theme and you absolutely killed it on the theme. Lots of interesting breaks, tempo changes, and standout notes

I love the frenzied feeling I get from listening to this piece and I admire your composition

some serious rulebreaking here!

good use and control of the orchestra and some nice melody and harmony in amongst the discord and chaos (which is also good!)

Really like the fluttering and swelling horns in the first section (and fun articulations throughout the song). I like the triumphant motiff at 1:56. Incredibly dynamic piece. Really cool.

The composition is really cool. It's continuous rulebreaking and it's well done.  The atonal part are very interesting, the tension is huge and the rhythmic patterns give threatening vibes. The glissando at  2.35 is so powerful. Amazing

wow that's so cool! I like how it is one "theme" but still hard to "feel" the structure (which is great) :) I can imagine some strings at certain parts would also be great.

In the screenshots I show the score of what I wrote. Since it's not intended for real execution I left the graphics a bit of a mess.

The piece is contemporary classical music ( Brass Quintet) and loosely follows variations. I used moments of silence, isolated chords, repeated notes, glissandos, odd metric signature, polymeters, and sounds with increasing dynamics as the main elements of the piece. Throughout, I aimed to maintain a certain degree of “disorientation” for the listener.

The piece begins with the aforementioned elements, which follow one another and become denser, eventually leading to a highly complex rhythmic texture composed solely of staccato notes, which becomes the main “mood” of the piece. After consolidating the texture of the staccato notes, I employed a rallentando variation to exhaust the energy of the moment, allowing me to transition to another variation—the sustained notes and bottleneck.

This variation enabled me to move into yet another one: the key change. Since the piece starts with atonal harmony, I took the opportunity to create contrast by introducing a traditional, triumphant romantic fanfare. During the fanfare, there is another rallentando, where the slowing tempo corresponds to a decrease in dynamics. I like this effect because it feels as though time is genuinely slowing down, as if we were listening to a “lo-fi” version of reality.

Subsequently, there is a return to the initial elements of the piece but like a sort of battle, such as: atonal harmony vs. tonal harmony, staccato notes vs. sustained  notes, complex rhythms, glissandos, with the atonal and staccato sections ultimately prevailing. This leads to the end of the piece, gradually slowing down, and as it slows, reducing its material until concluding with isolated compacted chords in silence ( just like the start of the piece). At the very end, there is a major chord to once again subvert expectations.
