Warborn orchestration draft 3 08-04-2026 - Flow 1.mp3 I orchestrated my piano sketch called "Like a clock work" and re named it to Warborn which i thought where more fitting title. Here is the orchestra version. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for your comment I made a few adjustments in a newer polished version @PeterthePapercomPoser Like clock work version 2.2 05-04-2026 - Flow 1.mp3version 2 refined.pdf

Like clock work version 2.mp3version 2.pdf Hey. Any chances of getting critique on this composition? Thanks in advance. Some personal things i noticed: Overused rhythm – Effective but repetitive; lacks contrast and becomes monotonous. Sections that don’t fit – Some passages sound good on their own but feel disconnected from the main idea. Ideas needing polishing – Certain motifs or sections need refinement so they integrate better into the overall structure and narrative of the piece. Too much tension There is too much tension in the piece. It needs more release here and there. The main lead could be stronger and more interesting The main idea is pretty good but it is repetitive from the first round to the second round. Awkward transitions There is a few places where there are awkward transitions that needs to be fixed. more modulation The piece stays too much within the same key.

Hey. I was wondering if i could have any feedback on this exercise? i really want to up my orchestration skills as i am a bit new to orchestration. Thanks in advance! :) Erik satie Gymnopedie - Arr Bjarke Tan - Flow 1.mp3 Score erik satie.pdf

Any feedback is largely apprciated. Thanks.

Just begin composing. Don't wait to "feel ready" 🙂 You can start for free using Musescore and read scores (highly recomended) on imslp a long with youtube for audio. Start learning how to read scores with some basic music theory. find a teacher or teach your self. Then post the scores here on the forum for feedback. That a lone can take you far with some patience. Just focus on small improvements constantly every day! Good luck! 🙂

That make sense. But i would still recomened starting with smaller orchestra in the start. Because that will give you far more control over the orchestra later. If you have complete control over smaller ensemble and can impress the listner with that the full orchestra will only add to that. Also a tip from Mike verta: Don't over orchestrate. Only orchestrate what it really needs(something i my self still practice) How many years of experience composing/orchestrating do you have?(just curious) I would recomend taking a look at Ravels: introduction et allegro pour harpe flute clarinette et quatuor a cordes. He seems to do a lot with a small ensemble and sometimes make it sound like a full orchestra.

I looked at the score. My advice regarding symphonies would be first master traitional symphonies ideally with traditional orchestra (a whole lot smaller orchestra) in the cannon style of classical or late romantic style before even attempting experimental or innovativ music. How can you invovate without a good foundation of the tradition? Brahms spend 21 years on his first symphony and beethoven so i heard spend from sketching to full orchestra 30 years on his symphony no 9. A symphony is not something you should be doing lightly. I don't say this to be rude but just to give some perspective on the symphony. If you comfortablely can craft a symphony that stand along side Beethoven for example or at least immitate the form style and orchestration then and only then I would say you should try something like this. Also how are you going to get this performed in the future with a orchestra so large? Compose for the musicians not the computer. I would also recomend sketching on a single staff or piano sketch. This is to make something more idiomatic and playable. Only after the whole piano sketch is complete then orchestrate.

Any feedback is largely appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello every one hope you are doing well. i am working on a composition which are inspired i supposed cinematic soundtracks, late romantism and anime. How well do i have control over the drama? Does the piece collapse under it self at some point? (cohesiveness) What about phrasing or melody? is it clear? Personal critique: it seems to change drama in the second half of the piece which may or may not be for the better. The tempo may be too fast? The climax is very sudden(second half of the piece) There may need a better transition. If the mood changes in the second half it should at least have the same drama. Anyway. Looking forward for your critique and comments ! 🙂 Thanks in advance.

I couldn't sleep tonight so i made this. As usual any feedback is welcome. Thanks for listening.

A speed composition i made. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.(made in a few hours)

My first electronic track. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks for listening.

Hello dear people. I have composed a new compostion and i would appreciate it very much if I could get some critique on the composition, anything you notice is vaild and some points I would like critique on it this: The cohesiveness of the piece, how well the piece creates tension for example, if it feels like the piece have "bumps" where it feel like it goes off. How well I exsecute the harmonic progressions and cinematic feel. The composition is influenced by Thomas Bergersen whom I listen to a lot these days. Like pretty much on a daily basis. Thanks so much in advance
