Description
This is a string quartet based off a motif I found while noodling around with Debussy's "Ballade." The motif is B - C# - D# - G#. I took that interval pattern and added another to it and then played around with some inversions. So, "the far reaches" of some motivic development and personal development as I have never really composed a string quartet before, and that was sort of an accident. I don't know what type of game this would be used for, but I would love to meet the developers interested in this type of music!

I would like you to develop this further, I think there are some cool ideas!

Very excellent composing. It definitely reminds me of the impressionist composers, who also inspire a lot of my work, both directly and indirectly.

I think the articulation and mix is maybe the weakest part of this because MIDI is hard to control, and unless you're doing it live or mixing in live instruments, it can get really hard.

Generally though, great work!
