We Survive

This is a piece I wrote in my spare time. I'm not sure to describe it though. I hope you enjoy it still.

Any comments and/or advice are welcomed. Thank you ahead of time for listening.

I felt the start felt a little thin, but it got better as the piece progresses. The percussion were great. What samples were those? When listening to this piece, I can feel the joys and sorrows of a group of survivors. Though, there were a few parts where the piece seems like it lost its direction somewhat. The brass solo parts would be an example. The part near the end.

Overall, it's not bad. Thanks for sharing.

Love the musical ideas presented here. I'm a sucker for good video game and so naturally game music takes me to a place of wonder I've visited many times over the years. My only thoughts were that it sometimes sounded a little "lost" in itself. Kind of like a lot was going on, but I couldn't really distinguish everything. The very end was borderline offensive when the harsher samples came in (brass I think?) Anyways, I think you're very talented, just don't quite know what to think of this piece.
Keep up the work just the same!

Nigel:
I agree that the orchestration is rather thin. The percussion is from EWQLSO Silver. I used a Bass concert drum, Timpani, Washboard, Woodblocks, and Sleigh bells.
Can you elaborate on the section you felt lost it's direction?

Thanks for listening. I think it would help if a story was companied by this piece, however I can't say there is. "We Survive" was the title I felt presented this piece best. When I wrote this I was mainly thinking about wayfarers surviving their travels.

Is this the piece you were going to enter in the competition?

I agree with you that the Orchestration is a bit thin. I can see a lot more going on when the brass is at full tilt. Still a very nice piece that has a good drive to it and some nice percussion in it as well.


Well done
