A day in the life of a clock

=This song may feel awkward as it is rather an experimental description, than a standard song=


Description:
Everything begins with the start of the clock,
then the bell rings midnight as the piano starts playing an ostinato,
wich will represent the sun in its course, getting more and more complex as the sun gets higher,
hitting high noon as bell rings again, then getting back simple as sun sets,
and finally ending like it began, backwards, and clock finally stops.


With careful counting, one can observe that between midnight and midnight, there are exactly 24 groups of 4 bars, obviously representing 24 hours in a day.


Hope you still enjoy despite the experimental character....


Gear used:
Sibelius, composing

Great central theme

I really liked this composition.

The inclusion of the clock was a stroke of genius. The accompanying piano was also particularly impressive.

Great work

Interesting

it definitly changes into itself. i'm glad i noticed the read before listen thing because, otherwise i would have been wondering... what the heck happened to the awesome tune... but know i know... Cus' knowledge is power... but back to review. i like most of it, the middle kind of loses my attention, but i like the calming near the beggining and end. and just so you know you didn't lose points just because its a direct midi convert. it was just the middle that bothered me... but keep up with experiments like this, they are pretty origanal, or at the least not often done.

good job 8/10 4/5

The-Hobo-Dude responds:

Thanks a lot dude...
but lol, I'm glad too that you noticed the read before listen, because I'm totally aware that the song feels realy awkward without an explanation. ;)

I'm actually surprised that the song got such a warm welcome...I was actually expecting the opposite...XD

But as you say, back to review.
I understand what you mean when you say that the middle part bothered you, it's mostly beacaus I wrote this in a mathematical way, so this was only the logic suite;
actually, I wish I had found a way to keep it logic, yet more listenable - it's not my favourite part either.

So, thanks again for this review...
