Infinity, Jungle Planet

I wrote this as a contribution to "Infinity Universe", a space MMORPG in-the-works.

The goal was to create a piece that could fit well with a randomly generated jungle planet.

Requirements:

- Must be symphonic (i.e as little use of electronic instruments like synths, etc.)

- Should NOT be something that would fit well into a fantasy setting.

- At least 3 minutes long.

I have not, however, submitted the piece to the Infinity devs because there are a number of things I am unhappy with and would like to improve.

Nevertheless, I am very pleased with how it turned out all-round. (bearing in mind the alternative)

This is the list of things that annoy me with the piece:

- Transitions do not work very well.

- It *is* kind-of Fantasy-ish.

- Orchestration feels (and in hindsight, is) incomplete.

- A few sound issues I haven't been bothered to fix just yet.

- Strings are too muddy (but I've finally found a fix, though I haven't applied it yet).

- Velocities don't work right.

- Woodwinds and Strings are too marcato-like where they're not supposed to be.

What did you like about the piece?

What did you not like?

How do you feel it could be improved?

Do you think it would work well with what it's written for/inspired by?

I appreciate all the feedback I get, positive or negative.

And thank you for taking the time to listen. I hope you'll enjoy it!

I could help you more if I see the score.

This has to pass as real recording ?, eveything sounds like too powerful or too much gain, at some points the clarinet (or was Bass Clarinet) was too loud.

The "Fantasy-ish" is ok I think.

What transitions are you talking about ? this was a single piece idea.

By "Jungle" you mean it has to sounds like this ?

then you definitely need percussions, bongos, congas, I suggest you to search in youtube or anyother site for music related to the "jungle", it will give you some useful ideas.
