I knew from the beginning that I wanted to write a work of around twenty-one minutes, in order to have a companion work for another shortish work for piano and orchestra. Exploring the overlapping and differing points of view between the orchestra and the pianist was my main starting point. At the same time, their wonderful ability to play multiple lines, explore vertical harmony, and span an enormous pitch range sits in contrast to the ability of most orchestral instruments to sustain, become louder or softer on the same tone, or even move smoothly in smaller increments than the keyboard division of twelve notes per octave. Keyboards are the only members of the instrumental family that can be entirely self-sufficient. Not being a pianist myself, it was liberating to think purely in musical terms. It was thus clear to me that my concerto would fall in line with the music already present in her vast repertoire. Writing for a particular performer has always been a boon to composers, and in this case my ear could reference the exact sound Orli can make in Beethoven, Bartok, Messiaen, or Ravel. We have also raised a family together, complete with human and canine members.Īll of this is to say that when Orli, together with Eric Jacobsen, floated the idea of a piano concerto to me in March of 2020, it was a delight to imagine the sounds she would make. In the intervening years we have performed north of twenty-five concertos together ranging from Mozart to Mackey. From then on I have been hooked on her artistry. Her singing tone, richly shaded approach to harmony, and exquisite ability to shape phrases spoke to me immediately.

While many are angered by the similarities, others are simply disappointed at what they deem wasted potential. “We are avid fans of Cuphead and were inspired by it to create something similar, but we’re trying to give it a different spin and making it our own thing,” the creators wrote on their official Facebook page. Twitter user posted a screenshot with a six-week-old comment from the creators themselves in which they don’t hide their influence from Cuphead. It literally looks like they're trying to cash in on both look and gameplay of the pre-existing Cuphead, and that's not great.įine line between inspiration and ripoff. Look I wanna give Enchanted Portals the benefit of the doubt but… I can't, either can most of the community. This game is not off to a good start,” Twitter user wrote. This game feels almost plagiaristic as it has the same mechanics and the art style Cuphead achieved so well. “A video game called Enchanted Portals has had a lot of people call it a ripoff to Cuphead and I have to agree with that consensus.

Many pointed out that not only does Enchanted Portals use a similar art style reminiscent of 1930’s cartoons, but the trailer footage also shows similar gameplay mechanics and boss fights.
