My little stab at orchestral music.

I'm not the type of guy who immediately starts talking about the 'reality factor' of the sounds or the music itself, but you did a great job, qua orchestration and harmony especially.
I actually know nothing about those aspects of classical (or any) music, but it sounds good to my ears :-)

also I like the emotional 'distance' which the piece seems to keep up, no cheep drama (or even room fx) is implied.

funny the last extended tone sounds organ-like, and it doesn't hurt :-D
would like to hear this track (re-organized) combined with that young drum'nbass drummer I saw on the linked post in the OT forum...

let's have Ken for the more sensefull comments :-D

really great, congrats :-)

Thank you so much. I just reposted it. I'll work on it a lot more. I hope it doesn't get worse.

I went back to the original version and remixed and reposted. I added Vinco and a lot of reverb, also the ending gradually slows way down. I like that part.

vERY NICE! It sounds like a neo-classical composition you get from Poodles and Flan but better.

Can you add a bit of release on the double bass and the brass instruments? That is the worse part of all sampled orchestral instruments, the part I have the most trouble with when composing for small ensemble such as this.

Also, I would look into how orchestras are seated for realism.

The slowing down at the end is quite nice :)

....the part in the movie where the psychopath is going about his preparations or where the alien landscape is first seen after the crash showing a barren world hostile at worst or indifferent at best towards human life...a dance routine from these guys: http://www.mummenschanz.com/

i made a series of "jackson pollacks" once. dripped paint and he became a millionaire over it....no reason you can't sell this, if you package it to the right person....

the advice about seating is a good one. the slowdown is the best part..

Thanks,

I can not control the ADSR. Perhaps with reverb.

I'm working with ramps to control the continuous dynamics now for a more realistic sound, if anyone is still reading this. It takes a lot of time. I can see why I didn't do this before. I'm also editing some of the extraneous notes and adding other notes and parts.
