November 19, 20214 yr What I'm working on atm. A medley of original compositions in a Greek style, for full orchestra. Homage to my time playing Greek music for many years. Still work in progress though.. https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/HXWJK Edited November 20, 20214 yr by Mikebat321

November 20, 20214 yr I like the free-time exotic folkish feel of this. It sounds like you're either using 7/4 or alternating between 3/4 and 4/4 in the first section and the 2nd section is also in irregular meters. I like the guitar in the 3rd part - seems like you could easily extend it. I like all the contrasts between the various different parts of the medley. My only personal pet peeve/complaint is that very often your quite rich orchestrations sound shrill and piercing in the rendering but maybe in a real performance that would sound better. Thanks for sharing! Are you planning on adding more sections?
November 20, 20214 yr Author Thanks Peter, yes I'll be adding two more rhythms and that's it. Still very much work in progress so there'll be lots of refining to do. Many thanks for your reply.
November 27, 20214 yr Nice tunes. Yes, sometimes it sounds with saturation, I guess it's a mixing thing (that would fix it).
November 28, 20214 yr Lovely melodies .... the mixing is a problem though; could it be that your orchestration has too many players in unison? Hard to tell without the score. Mark
