Hello everyone, this is on track to become my most viewed video in just a few days!! I'm so happy that there is interest for these super short pieces, and will happily compose more in the future! The Doom Scrolls series has concluded for now but it looks like microludes are in my future! Here is the score to this. drive.google.com/file/d/1Wou6bNVtXIkNs2V96Y3GTWBlSFAww-Mx/view?usp=sharing Please like and subscribe, and stay tuned for printed sheet music sales of all 4 volumes of the Doom Scrolls! This piece appears in Doom Scrolls vol. 3 :) th-cam.com/video/Y7xvEVbgkak/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WHp5e1IeVPMPjn68
I really like this as a concept. These are all little fragments that you could expand on if you wanted as full pieces but they’re cool as they are as well.
Yes but the point is to not expand! Please thank György Kurtág for the concept. You can check out his microludes within his Jatekok books. I also have another set of 3 Microludes dedicated to him on my channel! That’s Doom Scrolls No. 24, and I’ll be revisiting the idea in Doom Scrolls 40 and as its own series.
@@nicksgottheaux6445 exactly. when i listen to this piece, i LIKE that it is fresh constantly, there is still a cohesive element to all the fragments, but the bars of music sound like objects in a room. im so tired of hearing material constantly recycled sometimes. its so old fashioned, boring. music like this is very satisfying to me. i like Kurtag too, but a lot of modern contemporary art music is just "over the top" for me in terms of audible complexity - this however hits the right amount of it. well done.
@@mperstl13wow, this is such high praise! Thank you so much. I hope you like my other microludes as well, here is the playlist for all of them. th-cam.com/play/PL2rG81HiY-ebhZ95OnNoEqwKIrBLwTX05.html&si=XFqoAUS33-_LP0Jw
Love this. Reminds me of BOTW’s hurtle castle town music. Great balance of dissonant and consonant harmonies with lovely melodic leaps and jumps to accompany the nature of it.
@@TenorCantusFirmus if you haven’t checked out Kurtag’s microludes or Játékok please do so! He has the seven note “flowers, we are frail flowers” but I was very proud that I made my microlude 6 shorter by 2 notes >:)
@@M-W-Archive i did compose more! The doom scrolls ended up having 3 sets of microludes, and out of 42 pieces I made every 4 Kurtág inspired. I also composed another set of 16, you can find them all here! th-cam.com/play/PL2rG81HiY-ebhZ95OnNoEqwKIrBLwTX05.html&si=Ft_wzZ5l0Ui1j6ZY
TWO. BAR. FINGER. BUSTERS!!! What a title!! I'll have to try that and credit you. I definitely have one of those in my microludes set of Doom Scrolls No. 40! Check it out. th-cam.com/video/0WHMdUwCvkQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_f8916rZaVQpo4y7
This is cool! I loooove piano pieces that have this sound. This year for a competition I sang a song called Moonfall (from The Mystery of Edwin Drood) and this kind of reminded me of it, I love minor chords ☺️
Hahaha, Carl Vine?? I love him! But the description refers to the old app Vine, where the videos couldn't be longer than 6 seconds. Still, that would be cool to talk to him!
That one has really fascinated me. I put permutations of it in my Little Note Books 1, 2, and 3! Check it out. th-cam.com/play/PL2rG81HiY-eajgnxCdi62SDC0pZKY-AMH.html&si=33QwN4R6voARqnL_
The pieces are so short that one doesn’t necessarily need to have strict metered time. Kurtág also uses notes without stems, and the way I understand this in his piano music is that we can think of a beat as “taking a beat” in the psychological sense of time as opposed to a metronomic one. But if you do want notes shorter than that, then it does require stems and flags. This system is more organized with regards to Kurtag’s rests than his durations. TLDR the pieces are short so there isn’t a need for the strictest time, and when they aren’t short it is done so that the player can feel freed from a strict sense of time. I would recommend you check out some of Kurtag’s Jatekok and my Doom Scrolls no. 32 (in volume 4) for more.
@@nicksgottheaux6445 THE DOOM SCROLLS ARE SO GOOD I SENT THEM TO LIKE 3 OF MY FRIENDS!! I think they'd be very esoteric miniatures that beats Czerny exercises any day :)))

Maybe you would like my nos. 35 (Sonata da Scarlatti) and 37 (Hommage a Schubert). Not sure why this one is getting attention but I’m happy for it. There’s no need to be so wild as to say there’s no good music after 1915, especially since Pierrot Lunaire is from 1912! 🤩 I’ve even got a fugue in here dude! It’s the one right before this one! Be not afraid 👁️👄👁️

Kurtag enters the chat, is scared by his shadow, and scurries away... ;)
Webern: "Ich am das most koncise Komponist in das History von Musik!"
"Hold my beer..."
There’s no Kurtág without Webern and Bartók, and there is no me without Kurtág and Webern and Bartók!

It's awesome man keep them coming. The 4th or 5th microlude was insane. The repeating descending figure. So good.
Cool stuff.
You can definitely build technique with 2 bar finger busters. Extremizing chunk learning.

Fun vibe
These were lovely! Subbed :)
Thank you! I’m so surprised these are getting attention. Must be an attention-grabbing premise!
I have little to no classical background, this is giving me the lake themes / Distortion World from the Pokemon Platinum soundtrack for some reason.
I looked this up and I do have some similar harmonies in some of these to the distortion world theme!
mmm yes, quite 🍷
What does it mean when there's no stem. If it means free time, then why do some notes have stems?

Nick can write Shostakovich op. 34 preludes but Shostakovich can never Doom Scrolls: 10 microludes
Now that is one hell of a comment to wake up to! I’m absolutely beaming. Thanks so much!

@@phenylalanine7392 well thank you again!! I hope you enjoy all the rest of them and sheet music books will be out soon!
0:01 Bartok
0:12 Hisaishi
😂
A great combo! I'm quite honored.
Is very Bela Bartok.
I like it because I am left feeling confused, I dislike it for the same reason haha,
interesting stuff though :)
Thank you! The influence here is Kurtág rather than Bartok, but they both come from the same part of the world. You will find influences from the Mikrokosmos in volumes 1 and 2 of my other Doom Scrolls, please check it out! Every 4th doom scroll is Kurtág inspired.
One of the greatest casualties of World War I was classical music.
The less music made for nationalism the better! The nature of existence and time is to change. If you want some longer and more standard sounds you can look at some of the other doom scrolls!
