Sands of Resurrection

A song I wrote recently(unfinished)

Sands of Resurrection

Um... wow. A long piece to be unfinished!

Well, I like how the various instruments play with each other, and the various rhythms. And the music itself is often very well put together, and draws you in. However, the problem is, you have TONS of fantastic musical ideas, all throughout that piece, but criminally, you never really develop them! Instead, you kind of wander around aimlessly, musically, like a desert nomad. Not to mention that this is hardly pop: it feels more classical, just with modern instruments.

Seriously, this is absolutely incredible work, but take my advice, and develop really good themes, and drive them home. For example, 7:37-8:30 is absolutely breath-taking: why not start with it (in other words, start with a really strong melody), and then make that your MOTIF through-out the song, and bring it back in variations? (You could just as easily choose something else, this piece is basically a giant collection of incredible ideas) You could play it at first, then go to something else, then bring it back, then go to something else, etc. Do you get what I'm saying? This is far too good to let a lack of structure drag it down.

It may be unfinished as it is, but this is definitely going under my favorites, and I'm rating it 10/10. Please, finish this.

Btw, if you comment on others' works, your pieces will get more attention, and this is definitely worth attention, so please do yourself a favor and get involved in the community!

Again, thanks very much for sharing, I was basically stunned dumb, awed, after listening to this :D

NIce!

This could be an overture for some sort of crazy prog rock concept album. There's a bunch of ideas in this song, probably too much for one song. However, you should seriously consider making this a multi-movement peice, where each of the ideas get developed more thoroughly.

Also, some of the transitions between sections were rather awkward (specifically 9:13 and 11:33). Again this could be solve by splitting this song into multiple movements, because whenever you wanted to change musical ideas you could simply end the movement and start the next one.

Thanks for the music!

Wow..It is really good but maybe too long.But of course I enjoyed listening to this piece!! I want to say that you should to avoid abrupt ends. It seems like you cut some shred end and sharply starts another piece..It seems that this piece is made from many others pieces. And you should start some shreds more gentle, more sensitive. This is only my advice. But anyway I really like it.Great work! Thanks for sharing it. Minoxor.

Lots of great ideas in here. I like them, but I definitely agree with previous posts about splitting into movements (or even just completely different songs) and developing the overall ideas a little more. Seems empty in a lot of places. If playing this song live, the musicians would be destroyed physically afterward, especially if the song is going to grow in length. Perspective: do you want to use all your great ideas in one song? I mean, cool if you do, but perhaps save those ideas for complete works down the road maybe? I don't know, just a thought. I'm telling ya, there's a lot of great stuff in this work. Plus, what's the story you're trying to tell, perhaps that'll help focus a centralized idea/theme?
