A while ago i saw a video about a piano wonder kid which showed what she could do with just choosing 4 notes (of course different octaves were used) and make an improvised composition just with these notes.
So i thought if it´s possible to do a similar minimal set-up with the goal to still sound like it would be more and get not too boring.
So i just choose 3 notes here for the whole track and all instruments and a minimal set-up of instruments too.
Not sure if that is interesting enough....

The genius of Beethoven's 5th
Two tone Motif.
Gyorgy Ligeti. The genius of 1 and, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
It really works for me the way you used the 1/2 step motifs (F# up to G and G down to F#)
to create motion, tension and release. It has that complex harmonic emotional qualities of Mahler and the other Late-Romantics.
Could make very effective film scores.
Speaking of film scores have you ever tried to make a piece using "Shepard Tones" like Hans Zimmer used in "Dunkirk"? If it's a new idea Google it. I had to and I did before seeing the movie and then a spent a lot of time listening for the use of Roger Shepard's effect.
Then combine that with the Tritone Paradox. I suspect you'd get a piece that feels a lot like this.

Hans Zimmer had the extra requirement to slip the melody to Elgar's "Nimrod" from the Enigma Variations into the score throughout. The Enigma was that the piece used the harmony from "Rule Britannia" without ever stating that melody but the effect of the music was felt to be very patriotic and reminiscent of the British Empire.
My favorite "Director's Request" to a great film composer was Steven Spielberg asking John Williams to put "When You Wish Upon a Star" into the end sequence of "Close Encounters".
The flute/picolo carry the burden, I recall.
Kubrick was fond of his work.
Cib - that piece was interesting and very enjoyable. I too felt it was score-like. Great job.
McDtracy - thanks for adding to the discussion. I’ll be looking up some of that info tonight.
Very cool, thank you for posting that. Very enjoyable.
I forgot to say @cib I really liked what you did.... Not quite sure it was three notes, though. A lot of overtones in the mix. Does that count? How about one note? I think you could do it!
@[Deleted User] yes, Atmospheres! And I think Requiem. Not sure about that one, though. @McDtracy , you know all this stuff. What other Ligeti in 2001?
Man, I love the bus.
My fellow riders are awesome.
I had to look it up: Ligeti’s Requiem, “Lux Aeterna,” and “Atmosphères”
That movie taught us what it sounds like in space... stick you head in vacuum and that's
what you'll hear. Just don't turn the vacuum on 'cause thats a different sound. That sounds like an iPad DAW with too many AU's loaded.
Ligeti's family should sue the lot of us for stealing his "influence" in our work.
@McDtracy if you don't know it you find it!
Interesting idea, I'm gonna try this.
Google changed the my world.
I haven't been to the library in ages. I used to live in libraries. I learned to juggle in libraries and read Stravinsky scores there.
