'Dueling Dancers' (2020) by #DirkTomandl
This #OriginalComposition for piano imagines the story of two opponents that are circling around each other, suspicious, curious, yet attracted to each other in a "Mission Impossible"-like mood. There is romantic and at the same time aggressive tension between them.

Please enjoy this original piano composition in beautiful late romantic-era style inspired by Tchaikovsky. It is a mysterious, romantic, dramatic, virtuosic, passionate, and expressive piece.

This is the playlist where all of my AI inspired pieces are compiled: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbG6g-0Kt-BdgBGG9DjJ95cy-DbZ3-Wyp

I used the Artificial Intelligence software Musenet as compositional idea generator. How to compose with Musenet? The video "How to use AI to compose Classical Music" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODasvwQFHKs&list=PLbG6g-0Kt-BdgBGG9DjJ95cy-DbZ3-Wyp) as well as the playlist itself have detailed descriptions about the process.

This composition is so far the most complex and ambitious on this playlist. I started with several raw musical idea fragments that were created using Musenet. After some rough editing and error fixing in a DAW (Reaper), I created a first score using ScoreCloud as well as with help from Andrea Sordano (https://www.fiverr.com/andreasordano/do-the-best-music-transcription). This score was used as starting point for the actual composition in Dorico that took several weeks. For the Piano sound I used the wonderful PianoTeq VST.

Now: Close your eyes, open your mind, imagine listening to a piano player improvising in late romantic-era style with a few hints of Tchaikovsky and two small quotes from Freddie Mercury (can you spot them? ;-) ) and some #DirkTomandl.
