September 8, 200916 yr Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I wanted to know what you think about my latest composition called "Hannibal". The link is here: I try to compose movie-like pieces, if anyone here has experience with that I'd be glad to hear some tips, any advice in general is appreciated too. Any advice on how to improve is welcome. Have fun listening! Kind regards, JijGaat
September 9, 200916 yr The synth when it enters is kinda weird -- almost a laugh... I like the drums, but that's almost tribal than war... But I kinda see I guess with Hannibal being N. African... Maybe the transitions need something -- it's very blocky, not as seamless as I'd like to hear. It's a triumphant end, but the middle is more murky -- yet the music doesn't show why the change happens.
September 9, 200916 yr Author Thanks for your tips :) I think i can do a lot with this! I think especially the transitions is something I should work on, I have heard this tip more often, :toothygrin:
September 9, 200916 yr Yeah I agree for the synth you maybe do a slide there (tone or semitone) As for the drums solo part I thought you could add some backround instruments or effects cause sounds very ''empty'' on this part. I like the strings rythm on beginning.
September 10, 200916 yr Author @ glass000 which instruments would you recommend to add in the drum part? Some double basses?
September 10, 200916 yr You can add something bass maybe a contrabass tuba, or trombones but not a melody only a note to add a little depth. If you try it tell me what you think???
September 10, 200916 yr Author I might look at it someday, im kinda busy now, but if i changed it ill post the result here :)
