Hi biab's members,
Today I am submitting a movie soundtrack composition. I show that with Biab, I can arrive at different sound spaces than those that we usually meet on this musical platform.
In this style, the chord grid helped me a lot. For the musical ornament, I did not find many midi files apart from the strings. There are layers but we have to rework them in the pianoroll a lot to integrate them. Fortunately, orchestral vsts are present on the market. In this composition, I downloaded several midi piano rhythms and reworked them according to the melody. The drums are integrated at their simplest expression. In my daw studio one, I often asked the vst Biab to experiment with musical phrases with different instruments. Biab is an excellent tool, very flexible and a source of inspiration.
Here I submit this composition to you, hoping you like it. I point out that I used the projectsam vst a lot to make this soundtrack.
If you have the time or the inclination, thank you for giving me a constructive comment so that I can continue to improve.

Thank you in advance to all the advisor members of this nice musical platform.

Lovely soundscape. You certainly seem to have a mastery over BIAB. Yes, this would work perfectly for a movie. Nice job.

Hello jptjptjpt,

I thank you for your passage and your appreciation especially that this soundtrack moves away from the line rock, folk and jazz of this musical platform. But I wanted to show what I could do with this wonderful tool which is Biab.

Very nice work - I agree with jptjptjpt above, this piece does have a movie soundtrack quality to it. Very cinematic. I enjoyed my listen - thanks for sharing!

Dero,

A beautiful score.

Very nice job of having the piano and the strings work in harmony.

The accents from flutes and harp are nicely done. Timpani is cool, too.

The string flurries work.

This kept my ear engaged. It was over before I was ready for it to be...that is a good sign...

Well mixed. Sounds great.

Hello Deryck,

It is an honor that a member of the biab staff listened to one of my songs and appreciated. I therefore take this opportunity to see if new realtracks with quartet could be created in order to attract film music composers who are always looking for new ideas. Since the introduction of biab in the form of vst, more and more composers using other daws buy your product because it is a source of inspiration and if a realtrack does not give complete satisfaction, we recover the midi file and we assign a other instrument. I want to thank you again for the development work you have been doing lately.

Kindly regard

Very impressive indeed Dero! I loved listening to that, with the Celtic flourishes it easily made me think, "They ought to remake Robin Hood one more time, and this time get it right! The soundtrack is here ready and waiting!" Well done, a fine piece of work, well crafted.

Regards
John

Hello Skyline,

I thank for the compliment. I really worked on the arrangement looking for more sophisticated tones. Glad you like it.

Hello floyd jane

Thank you for stopping by. for this soundtrack, i spent a lot of time trying to make the sentences very harmonic. There are still some imperfections in the choirs (hissing in high-pitched sounds) which I will correct later.

Nice work!
I'm going for a bucket of popcorn during intermission.

Hello CaptainMoto,

I thank you for your comment. Buy in two buckets, so I will have the opportunity to eat one by your side and enjoy the film too. But I think the intermission may be unusually long, especially since there are not many people in the movie room

One word description of this piece: "Epic"!

Very, very well done. You kept my attention throughout the entire piece, really enjoyed it.

Great work!
Posted By: Derochette Re: I dream of you - 10/07/20 11:22 AM
Hello BlueAttitude,

I am flattered that you pass on one of my epic songs to comment on it. I try to touch all styles with successes or failures but I wanted to demonstrate that biab is a powerful tool that can help us in all existing styles (except maybe electro where they obviously lack realtracks exploitable). I Thank you for your kindly comment.

Best regard

Very nice, New Age-ish. Surprised me with how good this is. Excellent work!

Dero,
Very impressive, both in the skills apparent throughout ( well beyond my abilities to comment on any midi creation at this level) and more importantly for me, in the composition.
The space needed for listeners` to feel and imagine in a cinematic score is there along with some surprises ( the celtic influence).
It all works wonderfully well!

Huge engaging sound, and very easy to listen to.

Excellent.

BIG sound but could use some more dynamics - and I don't mean getting louder - you do that often and well.
A terrific demo of the midi capacities of yourself and the program.
Posted By: Al-David Re: I dream of you - 10/08/20 08:41 AM
Hi Dero ...

What a full, luscious sound! The timpanis are used perfectly for the accents when needed. Nice mix of tracks that work well together while, yet, holding their individual strengths and identities. Very anthemic and robust. The only problem I found was it was too short ... but thoroughly enjoyed what you presented.

Wishing you the very best. Take care and be safe ...

Alan

Hello Robert,

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Soft Celtic music has always inspired me with its chords in minor and its atmosphere where the imagination takes its place.

Hello rayc,

I think I understand what you mean but I didn't want to inject more rhythm than you might expect into a soundtrack because I always had a pleasant dream.
Thank you for your comment.

Hello Al-David,

your comment made me happy. As for the length of movie soundtracks, they rarely exceed 2:30 minutes. This is the reason why it can seem short and it can frustrate the listener.

Classy, creative, sophisticated, cinematic and dramatic all come to mind.

It's very obvious that a LOT of thought and effort went into this production.

An outstanding presentation of the combination of great talent and BiaB.

Enjoyed it!

Hello Janice & Bud,

Thank you for your comment. We, you and I, members of the club are proud of the enormous possibilities offered by the Biab tool. I thank you for this post but also, I take this opportunity to thank the managers of Biab for all the improvements they have made, over the years, on their product and therefore, allow us to make better compositions or soundtracks.

It's always a pleasure to read you

Excellent music, excellent production, excellent arrangement!!! If there's a flaw anywhere in this, I don't hear it. AWESOME!!! Take care. Greg

Exhibits a good ear as composer, arranger, producer and mixer. Great space giving to the instrumentation over a very nice progression that had a Celtic sadness with a flourish of grandness. Emotionally very evocative, with the bonus of sounding very good. Very much enjoyed this short cinematic journey.

Hi JJF/Dero13,

When listening to your track I missed the movie it belonged to. But before my eyes two lions met again after harsh years. A happy end...?
Whatever, you made a very orchestral, even majestic movietrack! It filled my room and that in a very pleasant way!
To me all instruments fit in their places in the mix. I can imagine this song wasn't an easy thing to do, not the composition nor the mixing of all those sounds.

Enjoyed listening,

Hans

Hello Greg, hello Tangmo and hello Birchwood,

I thank you for your kind comments which make me really happy. It is true that movie soundtrack music does not follow the same rules as sung melodies. The emotions are not felt by the lyrics but by the different instruments that play. It's a different job but the goal is the same as for the song melodies. It is sharing an emotion, a moment of life, a regret or a disappointment that has marked, us humans ,in our life journey.

I want to thank you again because you are open to all musical creations and you do not criticize but you give ways so that all biab users can improve over time. and it is wonderful to have a supportive community that I have rarely found on other music platforms.

Kindly regard

Hi Dero13 A.K.A. JaniJackFlash

Wow, what a magnificent musicscape. This IS soundtrack music for a movie. If it isn't already in a movie, there's one that is playing in my mind as I'm listening!

I picture a man standing on a pier looking at the light gently dancing off the ripples of the water. Flashbacks of relationships gone bad... Tragedies experienced...

I'd imagine this as a mix of something between TopGun and a Sylvester Stallone movie.

Nice piece, I enjoyed listening to it.
Posted By: Derochette Re: I dream of you - 10/17/20 04:22 PM
Hello Bawb,

I'm glad you like this soundtrack movie. I like this style but I have no follow-up on this song. Previously, I made another soundtrack that I will file which had attracted the attention of a tv channel which had reserved this one but which did not follow up.

https://soundcloud.com/user-318966631/the-flying-of-free-albatros

I believe that there are far too many music soundtrack composers on the market to have a chance of being selected based on their criteria. But we can dream. Is not it.

Kindly regard
