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

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

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.

Btw,

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.
