Wisdom for the crowds

Liner Notes
Inspired by a friend who is a teacher, symbolized by the #violin 'instructing' and the other #strings 'following'. He is also an (mostly abstract) artist, so I tried playing with less standard chords and #odd-time-signature, focused on #classical stuff with lots of #dynamics, using #string-quartet and #piano and #drums. With short bursts of hyperactive energy and longer sections of 'rest'. And it stabilizes at the end, symbolized by the guitar.

This is brilliant! So many mood changes and i too love those dynamic strings! Neo classical for sure! Love how it calms down in the end! Great!

Nice string work. I love the swelling strings. The piano sounds really good too. Some fab mood and energy changes - quite the journey. You really brought the abstract nature out, it comes across well. I can imagine this accompanying an animation of lots of lines and squiggles interacting on a page ultimately resolving to a coherent whole at the end.

Very dynamic indeed. The strings bring so much emotion, especially in the middle section! I'd love to hear it live.

I always think it’s interesting how either synthesised music you can do things that would be really hard / impossible on acoustic instruments - so I really like some of the runs you have put into this - along with the dynamics which would be very demanding both to play and notate! The result is something that is really sonically interesting. I particularly like the solo Spanish guitar against the snare as the piece settles - a really nice melodic motif. Nice write!
