Improvisation No. 30 (Is this ambient?)
When I was about 10 years old, my school would get monthly visits from “The Picture Lady”. She was a volunteer mom who would bring in examples of fine art from painters such as Van Gogh and Seurat. One time she brought an abstract painting by Vassily Kandinsky called “Improvisation No. 30”. I had never seen anything like that before! I remember trying to copy it with crayons. Decades later I saw it in the Chicago Art Institute and it brought back memories.
I thought about this painting while I was working on this piece. It was created in Cubasis 2. I used a lot of different apps. The ones I remember include Thumbjam (Plucked Bass, Cello, Stacatto Violin, and Mellotron Choir). I also used Sopranotron, Strummer FX, several FX patches from Blocs Wave, and some of the default percussion instruments that came with Cubasis. There are probably more, but it would take some time to go back and review.
Would you consider this to be ambient?

The first word that comes to my mind is "Cinematic".
I like the progressive/changing movement between "musical scenes"... It's interesting.
However, to my ears there's a lot of high-pitched screech predominating on throughout this piece. Those types of "fingernails across a chalkboard" high frequencies start to give me a headache.
Remove the ultra-high-pitched stuff and I'd call the piece very good.
I appreciate your input. I think I know which parts you are referring to. I only use headphones to mix and I may have overcompensated a bit. That's good to know! Have a good day!
Not ambient and I’m good with the high frequencies. Degustibus Non Disputandem Est, as they say. Interesting and very good, I think.
@LinearLineman I had to look that one up.
I suppose that could be interpreted a couple different ways.
To each his own, but to thine own self be true.
Or
There's no accounting for taste!
I'm fine with either.
horsetrainer may have a valid point. Years of playing loud music in small, cramped spaces has done damage to my hearing. Friends have mentioned it to me. I always tell young musicians to use earplugs.
