Works for full string orchestra I've been working on for a very long time. Most of these are light hearted and not very seriously attempting to alter music history. I hope they're enjoyable.
Here are a bunch of my pieces I’ve written for string orchestra over the years. Some bits are over 20 years old and I never got around to finishing them until just now. I’ve put them together here in 6 movements.
The title is a nod to my brass quintet, named “Worked Brass”. None of these have ever been played by real people, but just rendered virtually through MIDI with sound samples. They’re very light hearted and kinda first attempts writing for large string ensemble and are diatonic easy listening and hopefully fun. Being self critical they’re perhaps too pastiche, but obviously I wasn’t bored at least in making them.
I made a YouTube playlist and rendered them into videos with using ChatGPT to create art work with some prompts. A bit of Ken Burns editing tricks and voila, there it is.
