Somethin for the strings

wasn't sure where to put this, but this might be right. <_<

Anyway, i the music i hear in my head is an orchestra, so i have been trying to figure out how to write orchestra stuff.

It is kind of like seeing a magnificent oil-painting and only being able to make stick-figures... maybe with some hair.

Working title was Dark Guardian... not sure if I am happy with this though.

forgive me, midi:

Overall, I thought it was cool. I can picture a kind of dark sorcerer/magician figure conjuring up a spell or something.

There are parts of it that sound pretty dark and "evil," but there are others (where it transitions into a major key, for instance) where it doesn't really convey the "dark" feeling you seem to be going for. While the contrast is good, a more sinister sound might make more sense.

Also, from around 1:50 to 2:00 it sounded a bit odd (the harmonies don't seem to have much direction, and the melody is rather disjointed in a similar manner), although it might just be the MIDI playback causing that.

Really not bad. Have you written for strings before?

Yeah, it is kind of incedental (using this carefully) it is the kind of them for a character that i made in a book. (he hasn't appeared yet. )

yeah, just one. it is posted in the chamber music section.

you have nice music ,it is nice to meet you

I thought there were some really cool sounds in this piece, and liked the style.

I did think however that it needed more variety and momentum. I think it may help if you developed the harmonies more, filling in some of the gaps, as this would go a long way towards achieving this. I also think it may help if you gave some lower voices the melody a lot more, as this would give some variety, making up for the lack of timbral variety.

thanks for the input.
I'll try.

great imagination

Thank you

This is a very good start on this. Can you post a link to a MP3. I can understand what you are saying a lot better with a MP3.

The best I can do is the midi at this point. I am working on being able to do more. though
