Tension Theme

Featured Replies

Walking alone in a dark street…It might invite an unexpected danger. It is hard to guess what it can be. Yes, this uncertainty definetely creates a gloomy tension. It is better to watch back while walking!..

Tension Theme

Pretty nice piece :)

Though, in the beginning, it sounded kind of repetitive, add some variety in the melody there. But the feeling was right, kind of gloomy and tensional.

Then, at 0:34, I almost got a heart attack xD

I wasn't expecting such a sudden change. If this was supposed to be that way in a movie/game scene (like the 'unexpected danger' you mentioned), it'd work. Otherwise, you'd better ease into it. Like, let the other instruments start off slowly and fade in towards the point of 0:34.

Thanks for sharing ^^

Wow man, you are a composing machine! :P

I actually liked the sudden part at 0:34. It works really well.

This sounds like it could be in a Alfred Hitchcock film. ;)

Not bad!!

You've done a good job of creating the tension and the

All the way thorough the piece, it sounded a little too repetitive. I don't know whether that was intended, but I thought that I'd point it out.

Overall quite nice, just attention to detail like many of you other works is needed!!

Hi Hakan,

I don't have too much to add to what's been said. I don't like this. You've used several good "tension" techniques, but the actual result feels disjointed and repetitive. I'm not getting a sense of craft...it feels like a cheap exercise, and I know you can do better. I look forward to your next, more polished, piece of music.

In terms of the production, you're not getting the most realistic possible sound out of your ensemble, and the orchestra has no depth to it, so keep working on getting your mixes sounding more realistic. It's tricky, but necessary if you want to make convincing mock-ups.

While we appreciate the output of work you've been sharing with us, remember that you should keep reviewing other peoples' work too if you expect them to keep commenting on yours — so keep that up! :)

Thanks guys for comments, I actually should have told in the description. Such those of my earlier works were for creating the scene and catching its concept. Therefore, I havent polished or revised their repetitive parts. Well, they were done with very old system, so I didnt have a good chance to make good mixes either. My point here is only to share their musical concepts. However, I take notes the critics related to the mix because I have got problems with room acoustics and my monitors. I dont have anything to change my technical environment.

Hey Hakan,

The beginning glockenspiel writing feels like someone's indoors because it conjures up images of a dollhouse. I think if you're going for a night time scene, you want to have darker/lonelier colours. Glockenspiel is just too bright, by itself. Listen to some of Martin O'Donnel's tracks in ODST. This was gives a pretty good sense of nighttime.

Nice string writing! It came out of nowhere! It all sounds really nice and balanced.

As Marius mentioned, commenting on other peoples' tracks makes YC work so please do your part!

Nice work, Hakan!
