Layne Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Hey all! Sorry I've been gone for a bit...life was very busy. But here's a little piece I started this morning in FL Studio. The idea for the main recurring motif popped into my head and I had free time, so...I went to work! In this specific project I used my usuals, BBCSO Discover, Intimate Strings, Epic Choirs...but also Amadeus Symphonic for the brass this time around. I took the feedback I've gained here of varying my works and making them more engaging...hoping this one is doing that so far! (I've only had a couple hours at it so far). One thing I tried in this was to add a little variation on the main theme in there, which was fun. In my mind this song, or the main theme at least, represents a wide open unknown...and that within it that is "Beyond Our Sight". Hence the title. But as always, I'd love to know what imagery this brings about for you! Looking forward to your feedback and compositions and hope you enjoy the listen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Hey @Layne, The opening is very wide open and grand with those brass chords and high strings. Then suddenly there’s an adventure going without those triangles, but the epic narrative comes back. I hope the adventure lasts longer! Then there’s the ominous dark power of bassoon (that freakingly evil bassoon!), and then some struggle between C major and minor! I like the piece very much. What I would like is a rondo structure. The opening theme is great, it’s only the contrasting episodes which you can extend each of them!! Thx for sharing! Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My past couple weeks have been busy, and I've been a bit under the weather. I appreciate your feedback and am glad to hear you enjoy it! And I had wondered if it was okay to extend those sections, or if they needed to stay shorter. So I may work on extending and realizing them more. I really did want an adventurous feel for this, and wanted to establish that from the start...so I'm glad to know that it worked! And I love throwing some bassoon in there in those darker moments. It is such an evil sounding instrument! Always appreciate the feedback, Henry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
