Clouds vs Waves

New Composition ^^

This is a "Final Battle" piece that is using features of Baroque music such as polyphony and Baroque style melody write (at times), as well as features from the 20th century, such as Isorhythms, Modes and Quartal Harmony. Combined with some synths and given the video game feel! ^^ Enjoy!

Wow....This is pure amazing.

I wish I could say more, but I don't understand orchestration enough.

I like it.:thumbsup: (Anyway its quite homogene, too much copy&past staff....)

Your pieces are good.

Thanks guys ^^

@ Norby - Are the copy paste things you're referring to the Isorhythms? Because their meant to be like that or are you referring to the pice in general. Thanks!

What is Isorhytm anyway?

It's a small phrase or a short sequence on notes repeated over and over again. A good example is Steve Reich's

Kevin, do you make several songs per week? I see a new song from you everytime I come here. :P

It's a pretty dramatic and driving piece, which I like. It gets pretty emotional around 3:38 with the new melody too.

It's good work.

Heya Kevin! Well done again. Reminds me of the style of Masashi Hamauzu, specifically of one or two pieces from Final Fantasy X.

Love the part where the brass comes in, and thereafter. I think the beginning is a bit cymbal heavy though. It might be less noticeable if you ranged the type and/or volume of the cymbal hits there. I love the underlying snares you've got in that long section after the brass (sorry I don't have times, I'm streaming it from box).

The piece could also perhaps use a bit more bass throughout certain bits, namely where you have the strings playing quickly underneath. Timps might be good to thicken the sound a bit whilst keeping that urgency.

On the whole though I think this works, especially for the context you suggested.

@ Coax - Thanks haha. I guess the short answer is...yes? haha!

@ Fox - Thanks! Thanks also for the feedback. I'll keep it in mind as I listen to it, to see if I want to go back and change anything, or just apply it the the next comp! THANKS! :)

Hi Kevin, you are very talented, there's nothing to say when a composition is perfect, so balanced and full of taste, that's the truth. :)

Probably if I would hear one of your pieces in an anime/videogame I would search the name of the autor and other works.

But I must say that this is the one I like less. :P

I'm a great fan of videogame,anime and oriental music in general, can I ask you something in PM? Thank you.

Haha. Thanks! This is pretty different to what "final battle" music might traditionally sound but yea.. haha. Feel free to PM or add me on MSN etc. ^^
