June 8, 201015 yr This one you may consider to be a stand alone piece, regardless of its length. No more than this has been actually written since 2004, when I wrote this small work. Regarding my motives for writing it, I was actually experimenting with some 'maybe' materials for a computer game. From the oddities, I might mention a sitar leading in the beginning. The actual orchestration involves: strings, a soft electric piano, a sitar, two electric guitars, timpani and drums. From synthetic instruments, there are: square wave emulator (easy to hear at some parts), and so called FX 8 (as an occasional shadow of the sitar, GM 104). Action
June 8, 201015 yr A little too heavy with the sitar or synth at 0:07-0:19. You might have to turn it down. If you're putting some reverb on it, that might have to go down as well. It definitely has a computer, action game feel to it. It also has a nice retro sound to it. I'm not entirely sold on the string line at 1:00. It sounds like you could have resolved it to a better chord. Not bad. Pretty cool in fact. Just clean up the mud at 0:07 and you'll be laughing :lol: Btw, what did you use to compose this? -John
June 8, 201015 yr Author Hey, thank you for the critics. :) You are pretty right the work needs tuning in order to get a really fluent sound. I think it would need better SoundFonts too. But I am still not removing that sitar from 0:07 to 0:19. :) And you are definitely right about the strings, I know what part you're talking about even without listening to the recording. For all my works I use an old Finale.
