August 13, 2025Aug 13 I'm nervous because this is my first ever musical comission. This waltz is intended as a birthday present for a friend, she likes a lot studio ghibli and Tim burton's so I decided to write a waltz trying to imit these styles Since my friend is not a classical listener I used simpler harmonies, but my perfectionist self wanted more so I decided to orchestrate the waltz and, duuuude, it's the best desition i could have ever made I hope you like it!!!
August 14, 2025Aug 14 Hi @Samuel_vangogh! I think you definitely accomplished your goal of writing a piece like Joe Hisaishi. At first, I thought you intended to write a piece literally using the "Happy Birthday" melody. But now I understand it had nothing to do with that melody and you just meant to write a piece of music as a birthday gift. The music is very bittersweet and emotive. I wish you had written a final ending chord! It seems like that's all that's missing from this. Thanks for sharing!
November 11, 2025Nov 11 Wow, that beginning is very serene. I love this harmonic content. It’s giving off already. OK, I love the layering with this with the themes. Make sure you give the double bass something to play. I like the re-entering of the main theme later on that is a really nice touch. I think the recording shut off at three minutes. I don’t know if it’s supposed to go longer, but if that’s the end, it feels unfinished. anyways, good job with this I really love the feel and style you’re going through
