16 Aren't we all multi-trackers? Yes, I wrote this over the last week or two. I had the idea of doing something with 4 quartets. Check out my latest song called Ornamenta Scholastica

Amazing. Busy but not fussy, it's got a cheerful air to it that lifted my mood. The layering of all those recorders without making a confused mess is most impressive. Bach might have loved this. Check out my latest song called Dreamer's Dance.

Jaunty I like the bounce in this piece. No point in trying to count the number of instruments, just got in the flow. Thanks for sharing and the download. Check out my latest song called Chinese Flutes (first draft)

Scherzo Lovely lilting tune. Joyful. Skilfully played to get all those instruments complementing each other rather than getting in each other's way. Much enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Everyone is Different

16 parts times 3 minutes.... took me indeed barely over an hour to record it. The writing is a different story. That was more like 3 weeks. Check out my latest song called Ornamenta Scholastica

Baroque and roll Vic Like the others, I have no idea how you managed to get that many layers to have such clarity. Amazing. Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called Sunflower with lyrics

Layers There are actually very few places where all voices are active. If you listen with headphones (or speakers with good stereo separation) you'll notice how much the melody runs from one quartet to the next. Many phrases have 4 subphrases, which run through the four quartets. They all overlap, but it's really a cascading effect. (With a lot of cutting and pasting between the voices you can probably reduce this piece to 3 quartets, maybe 10 players. But that would not be as nicely symmetric.)

Thanks for the explanation although I am still in awe of the writing and how you managed to do that! Check out my latest song called Sunflower with lyrics

more whimsical than usual from you and it fits just fine. Seeing that string quartet, I could hear that accompaniment added with some counter melodies. The recorders stand on their own, but that sort of played in my mind as I listened. Check out my latest song called Cowboy Tom Buckles Down That Hatch

I agree with Carrie: Leaves you feeling happy. Impossible to not smile while listening to this number. Layer upon layer, but you manage to keep them all pretty darned clear in the final mix. I admire your dedication to detail. And, gee, the tuning is awfully good, too. Amazing what you've done with a 5 note scale. Check out my latest song called Caprice

Not where I can listen well... But this FEELS like it has neat space...the intertwining parts seem to move in space even if they don't... This could've gotten really busy and really out of hand, but it sounds simple, full and like it has a point... Check out my latest song called Chime (Alone) (Inspired by Particle Dots)

Did you play all of those recorders one at a time? I like the little modern type melodic and harmonic twists you throw in at the one minute and two minute marks. Is this your own composition? Well done!
