The first 3 notes are my initials, and these 3 notes reoccur near the end augmented in length.
The bass imitates the treble except that it is transposed down by 1 octave + 5 whole steps, and the bass is 1 measure (4 beats) behind the treble:

I have no idea how to end this fugue. That's why the final note sounds strange.

no offense intended, but you don't know how to end it because you probably didn't have much of a clue putting it together. There's some coherence between the three lines, but nothing linking them together except that it's a round. I'm presuming you created the one music line, then looped it on itself three times, but didn't make allowances for harmonizing. At 17 seconds, for example, everything just turned into a mess instead of bending one or two of the lines to make for a proper harmony that would fit the build up preceding it. From 28-30 seconds, there's something just plain awkward about the bassline and the melody. Not necessarily in the way their put together, but in the notes making up the line and the chord strikes on the upper register. That interval isn't necessarily ruled out (if it wasn't for the awkward bass runs, it would be interesting and quirky), but it just doesn't seem to fit whatever it is that you're doing... and I don't know what you're doing because there's no discernable phrasing other than what I suspect to be blind note selection. I do like how it resolves towards the end.
Basically, I think you're just making shit up without knowing how they work, not making allowances to make things work which creates a couple of really awkward moments without any real meaning and then getting predictably lost.
Err, I disagree.
There is some awkwardness and harmonization that is a more than a little haywire, but there is a progression, and the notes are hardly randomly selected.
And anyway, I was trying to go for crazy atonality... maybe I allowed it to get out of hand, but I'm not sure how you can say there is no progression at all.
because things spiralled so much in the two points I mentioned. I mean, a couple dissonant harmonies works to provide strength for later ones, but you didn't build up to any real resolution by the time those kicked in, just into another awkward passage.
I'm not saying there isn't progression - the tune noodles along nicely enough, but... where? why?
it's really those two points that hurt it the most, and not being able to resolve the song. I understand the atonality, and i'm not against most of what's been done there, it just feels really sloppy and poorly thought out at those points
It's odd you say that when before you said it sounded like the notes were chosen at random.Quote:

But I think what I have trouble doing the most is continuing with something to its end. I personally think the real problem here is that the progression after the sticky dissonant passage at 17s is just suddenly cut off rather than developed further before the next exposition where all the voices are silenced except one.
And maybe that is because I painted myself into a corner. But I think I could return the voices to something a more harmonious.
Hey coq when did you graduate from Julliard?
you told me they weren't. i chose to take that at face value.Quote:
