Thank you! The Fauré Thing is a mistake! It is not suposed to Sound like Fauré!

Thanks for your response! I wrote the lyrics.

Here's my spin on the 1996 Tomb Raider theme, which I expanded the main melody with my own a bit. Let me know what you guys think of it.

Hey thanks Peter. The opening Oboe before the Strings melody come in as well as the harp part in the middle are the OST, the rest of the music is original. I'm also, minus some of the noise that is audible with headphones pretty impressed with the production. Everything aside from the harp, trumpets and percussion is musesounds, which I've never tried until now.

You're most welcome, although it seems that you know more technically than I am, therefore all I can offer is my moral support. However, don't hesitate to trust your instincts and let your creativity guide you as you continue to flesh out your musical ideas. Happy composing, and I'm excited to hear how your piece progresses!

Hi @olivercomposer! Wow! Kudos on working with a live recording of the lyrics! Did you write the lyrics yourself? They're pretty good! Maybe the "oh's" at the end of each verse/stanza seem a bit melodramatic but I can see why you included them - they act to conclude and create a kind of recurring coda to each verse. I love the modulation into major - that's a great contrast. The production value is pretty good but somewhat disjointed between the instrumental and the audio of the singer which seems (to me) to be of a slightly lower quality than the vst's. I know this is probably meant to be futuristic sounding but to me it sounds more steampunk/gothic. Overall, great job though! Thanks for sharing.

Hello @Some Guy That writes Music! I listened casually and followed along with the score for the first couple of minutes and the thing that jumped out at me was that you stay diatonic to C major for a huge portion of the beginning before then changing the key signature to Ab major. I'm sure you don't need me to remind you that not all chromaticism has to come from key signature changes and that staying diatonic to any given key for long swaths of time can get pretty tiresome quickly. You could use chromatic neighbor tones or modal exchange where you borrow tones from the parallel minor/major mode. There's lots of other methods to create more harmonic interest. Thanks for sharing!
