Derochette,
Interesting and intense composition, especially opens toward the end. Good mix and good effort of showing horror through music. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. I have several old time friends from Ukraine. Stories they tell are petrifying. This is all like a bad dream.

Man, what a piece of music! I am so very impressed. I think this is great, I think it portrays what you wanted to impart perfectly. The production is fantastic, I want to see a movie made out of this.

Excellent work, great war rhythm created with the drums and all orchestral instruments support it nicely, synths and the helicopter sound give the modern atmosphere describing perfectly this current unfortunate and sad world where machines and modern weapons cause terrible damage and human life is worthless. You are true master of instrumental scores, thanks for sharing your work.

Derochette, what a brilliant opening to convey the fear of bombings. Man, you continue to amaze me with this kind of musical talent. IN addition to the bombs you used some cool rapid fire instruments. Man, this is the way battles should be fought. This is outstanding, sir. The world needs to hear this. Then there's the medevac --to me unnoticed in the beginning the first time, but so important as the last fading sound.

Still here. 4th listen. Actually gets more remarkable each time through.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Derochette,

When reading the title of your song I was caught.
And the song itself is catching too.
A lot of tension, in a way oppressive and really cinematic.
So a very good contribute on the madness of this war.

Hi RnAm,

At the start of this year, we never imagined a war in Europe. May is a sad reality. Thank you for the comment and for appreciating.

Very impressive. You certainly got your message across to us clearly.
The composition is well composed, arranged, mixed and is very cinematic.

As others have noted, the choir addition is a good one. The sounds of the machines of war against the despair of human cries was bone chilling.

So sad to listen to but such a good production.

Hoping for an end to the madness soon,

J&B

Excellent cinematic piece conveying the horror and futility of war.

Very evocative and well composed. Great build.

Sad that we find ourselves in this situation yet again.

I agree - engaging from start to end. Sounds awesome in stereo - big!

As Peter said - cinematic.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Robert kc,

I appreciated your comment. the vst Eastwest was a reference a few years ago. This firm lost a lot by leaving Kontakt to create its own wave player. But this firm remains a very good product to color our musical productions. Thank you again for your appreciation.

Hi Rustyspoon,

Thank you for your musical analysis. I really tried here to transcribe in sound the feelings of people like us who survive in this sad war and who see that everything they have invested in their lives is destroyed and that there is little chance that they will be able to reconstruct their ideal again.

Hi Brad,

Your comment is nice. But I think few people are interested in my instrumental composition. In any case it makes me really happy to read what you wrote and I thank you for it.

Hi jannesan,

I particularly appreciate your analysis of my composition and your comment. I spent a lot of time searching the web for real sounds of helicopters and explosions to color and reinforce the tension of this instrumental musical. Thanks to you

Hi BabuMusic,

I always appreciate to read you and I also thank you for your opinion on soundcloud. This composition took me a long time. I tried to improve it before posting it on this forum. And between us, I extracted a choir from the dies irae to finalize the composition. Again a big thank you to you.

Hi Birchwood,

In Europe, we were surprised by this absurd war and we are saddened by the death it causes among people who only wanted to live in peace. Thank you for your analysis and your message.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
