mark styles Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 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..

Luis Hernández Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 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.

mark styles Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 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'.

Luis Hernández Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm sure a big climax with your big palette of sounds would be great. There are many many ways to modulate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawoodruff Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
