A glimpse into my composition style

I've been composing for going on about 7 years now using Finale and in my oppinion I feel that I am starting to finally branch out and really take on my own style. I've never really been too creative when it comes to titles so I normally just stick on a filler until I can get some help with it (unless I wrote the song for a specific occasion or emotion) so obviously...don't expect much from me in that department.

Ok, about this particular piece. I started writing this one about a month ago and it took me about 2 weeks to complete. I tried to piece it in as an orchestral piece to form into a more dark jazz "jam session" type thing, which if I continue to post music and take in/dish out help, you will notice I like to do a lot. It continues to build up until it finally reaches more of a rock climax around 1:45 in the song with the guitar solo. I'm aware that some more classical composers find these changeups to be bad technique, but I normally write those little moments in on purpose to take music outside of the technical aspect and back into the art. It stands out to me and gives me cold chills...then again I write for myself and not for an audience. I'm just lucky enough that the majority of the people I do make an audience tends to feel the same way about it :laugh:

As I said, I like to think that I have created a rather unique style with my music, sort of a mix between rock and jazz with a classical influence. I would appreciate any variety of comments or critique and trust me; I don't offend easy.

Hey,

how goes it?

This sounds up to date allright. :)

A bit to much soloing perhaps and there should be vocals of some kind on it maybe

It reminds me of gothic rock there is a fairly succesful Dutch gothic rock group called "Within Temptation"

Hope this helps.

Never heard of them.

And nothing agitates me more than the sound of the human voice...so other than synthesized halo pads, I'll pass :)

Hey,

Okay, understood :thumbsup:
