Hey there,

here is my submission for the Art inspired Music Contest (A.i.m.) on NG.

http://www.newgrounds.com /bbs/topic/1339801

It is a classical "Kyrie", the first part of the liturgial mass.

The Piece has been inspired by the artwork "Hanging Above" by splosh999. He is my favourit NG artist and i really admire the versatility of his Work. Here is a link to the Artwork:

I loved "Hanging Above" from the beginning - a solid artwork with just creates a heavenly feel, with wonderful colour gradient ... just awesome! If you want to see more incredible art visit splosh999 on NG:

When i had seen it i decided to try out something which might feel a little uncommon on NG: To create a real ecclesiastic and epic flair by writing a "Kyrie Eleison", the first part of each classical mass.

I have used Logic Studio Pro, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs to create the sound. Unfortunately i could not use each aspects of Symphonic Choirs because my CPU has been to weak - my new iMac will be delivered soon *OMG!*

So i really hope you like it - even it is an uncommon submission - and have a good time! Special thanks to splosh999!

All the Best,

Chris

I'm very impressed by this. Nice work. I though choir samples could only sing "oh" or "ah". How dose it work? You write the lyrics and the sampler do the rest? Man I'm impressed. Nice Kyrie by the way...

SoundChris responds:

Hey there,

thanks a lot. Glad you liked it - even as a professional! I have to admit that i would have wished to bring in more polyphony within the choir section, but unfortunately my old mac has been to weak to load more instances to trim the single voices separately. I also had to turn off the choirs release effects. I had to use 2 instances of logic for the choir (could just choose the men and women full sections - no s - b - t - b - settings :/ Within a third instance i had to create the orchestral part ... it was so annoying *lol*But things will be more easier and i will be able to use the programs full potential soon. Concerning how the choir vst works - i will pm you.

So thanks for your kindness! All the Best,
Chris

Really good! I did'nt know about that software, it sounds really good! And it is a really nice composition too!

SoundChris responds:

Thanks for your kindness! There some very interesting choir vsts out there - 8Dio Requiem, Voxos epic virtual choir and EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Choirs are the most common i think. I prefer symphonic choirs because it has got a wordbuilder. You can type in everything you want to and the choir will sing it - just interesting :D But tastes are different. The most important thing for me was the wordbuilder. Maybe the sound of voxos is a little bit better - dont know.

Glad you liked the piece :D

Best wishes!

Oh...instantly engaging! :D It's very dark and creepy. I love the gothic, haunted-house-like feel to it! Excellent choice of instruments, and that choir added a lot to the piece! Well-structured, good harmonies, meaningful transitions. Could've asked for a better 2.5-minute piece of classical music. NG needs more stuff like this! :D

SoundChris responds:

Thanks a lot for your kindness! I decided to create a wholehearted classical piece to convert splosh999s artwork because this picture is a very serious artwork. I wanted to set it into its right music-historical background. Glad you enjoyed it! More classical pieces will follow :)

All the Best and thanks for your nice review!

Love it, you did a great job with the choir parts, I always find it difficult to get the sound right.

SoundChris responds:

Thank you so much! EWQL Symphonic Choirs is just an awesome library which sounds quite natural. This is my first piece where i have used it. Creating the track was so much fun - i will definitely continue to work with the choir in the near future :D
