I have got to write something to express how this out-this-world piece impacted my soul within these 10 or so minutes and opened up a big hole on the dam of social mask, every tiniest accumulated emotions just flooded out and I set up fire in my own apartment and finally get the freedom I longed for years… Thank you, Max.
It gives hope for the music of our age

This is breathtakingly beautiful. Like an ancient, earthy folk song masterfully wrapped in a modern and refreshing language. What a gem!
Gorgeous, as I've come to expect from Max Vinets. The exploration of tone color is interesting and beautiful throughout.
Such a wonderful harmonic language and transfixing orchestration! Very well performed, too -- bravo!!
it combines the beautiful harmonic language of caroline shaw and the awesome sounds and folk-y style of ben johnston and puts them together into an amazing blend. this is incredibly breathtaking and fantastic writing. so cool!

This is the best piece of my year. Max, a lot of classical musics fans in China love your music very much!
man. that first climactic moment at 2:24 is so cool. those glisses give it such a 'larger than life' quality as well, with how like, everything feels like it's soaring. Then, that glissed 5th in the cellos - WOW!!! So cool!!!
you're a total master at this - it's all so pretty!! I love the melody at 3:40! That, combined with all of the techniques gives it such an awesome texture. I loved your use of harmonics throughout this piece. The microtones too! They add such a nice quality.
beneath a sunburst haze might've been my favourite movement. the usage of microtones and glisses along with those meandering inner lines - such a nice sound. It sounds like something that would've been written in a DAW but performed live. The visceral and hazy part near the end was exactly that! Loved every second, honestly. This piece is so cool!!
❤ What kind and thoughtful words! It’s a privilege of mine that you listened to my music so closely, what a composer’s dream! Thank you so much.
@@maxvinetzOf course! I am a composer as well - though definitely not on the same level as you! - so I can definitely imagine how much study and thought went into this lovely piece. Rest assured, I’ll definitely be studying your work for the foreseeable future!
absolutely beautiful! like familiar sounds with a softly unsettling harmonic texture. gorgeous
Enjoyd this! Following for more works! ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Uau! Such attractive and alive music, and smart and sophisticated! This is an inspiring discovery for me. Thank you Max, for sharing.
Another breathtakingly beautiful work. Well done!
Superbe écriture, très inventive. Un grand bravo pour le début tout en harmoniques, pour les trouvailles rythmiques, et pour le très beau passage microtonal vers la fin. Abonné !
This is what it feels like to be human in the postmodern age. Eery, twisted, beautiful. Indescribable
Thank you so much! It means a lot to me!
This work is so beautiful
Especially the Part V
It’s my favorite ❤
The interplay between textural effects and harmonic progression is really masterful
Also the development of the last movement is really breathtaking, the instruments sound like voices.
That's a cool piece.
Great piece!
Gorgeous
Thank you so much!
Reminds me of Caroline Shaw!
Amazing!!
sodelicious.............

Was this written at all with the pandemic in mind, or was it entirely before/unrelated?
I actually finished this piece right before the pandemic, so entirely unrelated!
Anywhere to see the live performance?
It's only been performed twice, and I don't personally have video from either performance!
I would love to see a video of a performance sometime. So beautiful! I love the ways you shape the instruments, I’ve never heard anything like it! As a quartet violist myself I could not imagine performing this… it’s so complicated! But I am just an intermediate player… maybe one day!
the start sounds like a washing machine chime
I think John Cage would have appreciated the cough at the end.
