Derochette,
That was fun! A bit short smile Good choice of instruments and movement. The only critical suggestion, not from someone who understands music, but purely based on the mood of average ear.... It seems that opening goes in too rhythmically fast and then looses tension toward the center. Sort of reverse "expectancy". It is not a bad thing, just different. Mix is clear and all instruments have their say. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Deej,
It gives me great pleasure to read you. Thank you for your kind comment which encourages me to explore different styles while trying to better integrate Biab's Realtracks.

Hi Rustyspoon,

I've always been afraid of boring the listener with an instrumental track without lyrics. Several of you advised me not to exceed 2 min 30 (maximum 3 min). Here, my instrumental track is 2 min 15. Given the relatively short time, I got to the heart of the matter more quickly. But you're right, the construction of the piece could have been very different. Thanks again for your constructive advice.

Kindly regard

Excellent composition and use of BiaB and Spitfire/Eastwest.

Very cinematic!

Hi CaptainMoto,

In this instrumental composition, I tried to use Biab's realtracks as much as possible. And I added the symphonic side with spitfire chamber strings. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

Hi Janice & Bud,

What I admire about you, professional musicians, is that you always have a gentle word on this forum and on soundcloud to encourage amateur musicians to improve and advance. You comment on the last moment. It's reflective and always encouraging. Thank you very much.

Hi David,

Thank you for following me on soundcloud and thank you for your encouraging comment.

I tried with this mix of realtracks and an orchestral addition. Biab is an excellent product. I asked the administrators to recover the tracks freezed in traditional Biab and to recover (freezed tracks) such resources as the Vst Biab.

It would be a real time saver in composition.
Sorry for using my answer to try to send a message to the administrators

Thank you again, David.

Reminded me of an ELO production but sadly the guitar 'solo' had no muical structure or 'tune' or 'hook', just a collection of the RT riffs strung together in front of an orchestral backing.

Hi sixchannel,

I didn't quite understand your comment. You talk to me about Elo for whom you give an apparently negative opinion but not about my composition. Thank you if you could be more specific even if your comment is negative.

My reference to ELO was positive - its true Rock Orchestra and their work has a 'tune'.
Yours does not. Just my opinion. Sorry if you disagree.

Don't worry Derochette,

You piece, with the limitations of the RT lead, is really cool.

Riffs are ostinatos and ostinatos are short melodic phrases repeated and varied.

You're creating new music, rather than indulging in covers, and that's something to be encouraged.

ELO were fabulous for their 1st album then degenerated into a Jeff Lynne's self promotion vehicle.


Cheers
