olivercomposer Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Hey Guys, This is my brand-new cinematic track with a symphonic orchestra, epic drums, and distorted guitar. Immerse yourself into the dying post-apocalyptic world, where every note echoes the struggle for survival amidst the ruins of civilization.

Bjarke Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 after a quick listen if you want some feedback I think this needs more contrast in terms of instrumentation at least like what happens at around 1 minutes and 40 seconds. Nuances in all aspects is good for the ear but if you stay to long for the same instrumentation, tonality, what ever it may become boring for the ear as is quickly get used to the sound. Instead of the Guitar (i think) Having the main theme always try to give it to other instruments. Let them have sort of conversation so the speak where maybe the strings have the main theme then the Guitar becomes background element and then the Guitar takes over instead of mostly having the theme. I just think switching the main focus here and there could improve it overall. Maybe also some Rythmic variations as the Rythm or tempo seem to be constant through out. Maybe a few Nuances here could help as well. I also think that the piece starts too sudden maybe spend a few minutes building up to it. It feels sort of like starting at a climax at the piece. If you want some listening recommendation i would recommend Mozart - Jupiter fourth movement (as it demonstrates what i am talking about regarding instruments having a conversation) Maybe some music from Ramin Djawadi some of his horror music? Like Slender Man, Game of thrones? Maybe Penderecki - Threnody for inspiration. Overall i think the concept is really promising. Good work. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This piece of music will be the part of an entire album. I've already made the intro, this is the reason why the tracks start so suddenly. Taken as a whole I'll use various instruments as the main instrument, like vocal, choir, and others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjarke Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 You are welcome and that make sense. However i would recommend that each piece should be able to be a standalone piece yet continuously work together further moving the drama forward for a more impact full listening experience. James Horner does this for example very well In his film scores such as Krull, Star trek the wrath of khan, and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for example, in a concerto, there is one main instrument that plays a bigger proportion of the solo, than in my composition the guitar. So maybe this is an electric guitar concerto.
