The Landscape of Dreams

I continue to compose in genre more of a musical landscape.  A lot of instruments, but sparse parts, builds/down in complexity.  Using UVI libraries, Kontakt libraries, Yamaha Genos, Logic Pro. Genos and Kontakt provide real sounding instruments, Falcon UVI libraries, the more synthetic.  I enjoy synthetic sounds the have an organic feel to them. Tried to get a floaty feel with backwards instruments, also sparse drumming, placing Kik on different beats.  Your brain wants to assume the kick is beat 1..  aha ha -  got ya.  Some parts have 'layered' softer parts under them,  trying to create a 'smear' almost..  

What an adventure of sounds! I like it already. It's amazing how so many sounds and instruments fit together. I wonder how different are "musical minds" in general.

I think you conceive your music as a sort of progressive piece. It has no big climax or tutti as a standard piece, but it works very well.

Thank you Luis -  I always value your opinion and ideas..   Making a climax by revisiting one of the earlier motifs, will be my next experiment.  Each piece I do is an experiment, to work on an idea or area.  I am currently trying key modulations in 2 - 5 chord changes to get there.  I was taught that when I was about 14, but most rock'n'roll songs/pop songs our band did only ever modulated in one step, and I 'forgot'.

I'm sure a big climax with your big palette of sounds would be great.

There are many many ways to modulate...

This is awesome. Such a big score. Had to zoom in on my phone just to see everything. That's awesome you can maintain coherency working with so many parts. Keep up the great work!
