Ok. Got it done. Here:
lesson1 - eSnips, share anything
I won't say I did really well on the forest part, but I'd say the ritual was the hardest. Before this I did more on percussion, with snares and glockenspiels, but after adding all those It made the piece seem like a battle theme instead of ritual.
Ok let me explain the contents. At the start, some sustaining bass notes, picturing the darkness of the forest. Then the beat starts. The other sounds that surround the beat are sounds of creatures. I think the bassoon is a tad too soft. If you think so, I'll remake it.
After 50 seconds or so, I see the ritual, where the tempo increases. The cello playing same notes througout the ritual simulates the chanting. (Well that was what I had in mind. Imitating rituals without vocals is hard). The timpanis simulate the tribal drums. They fade away nearing the end and crossfade into a harp and bell chimes. Those simulate the temple complex.
Hope I did ok on this one.
