So, if you're familiar with my previous music, then you'd know I usually stick to real instruments. I wanted to try something new by diving into the synth section of Sibelius. Believe it or not, I recently heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnwwDYfesPc&t=0s and wanted to make something of that energy. Not sure if I 100% succeeded with that goal but I created something I am proud of in the process so I'm happy. I wish I could make something like that, I just lack the resources to make something to that level so I have to make do with what i've got. Also yes the picture for this disc doesn't fit the disc but I decided to keep it anyway. I hope you all have a great day. This song is also on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5db800xEct8

Thanks :)

I’m not sure what to rate this one; it is a big deviation from what you did previously, and I love that you continue to experiment with new styles. I didn’t know Sibelius has a synth section, and since it does there is a lot more you can do in terms of EQ, now that the instruments go beyond classical. This hybrid you’ve come up with is absolutely genius in a way and I hope you continue with it, it shows a lot of potential. Musically, though, it’s not your best. The return to metal with the guitar in the middle was a little underwhelming sadly (given your previous metal sections) and the melody can get a little repetitive. It’s funny because I don’t really like heavy metal at all but the way you can do it and mesh it with other styles, that’s when I like it lol. Also, by “disc” I assume you meant icons. Overall I hope this is a new direction you take with your music, as I move on with mine with the somewhat new melodic layering technique I started in Arizona (but it’s tricky because I don’t want to do that every song, lest it get stale).

Tangerine responds:

Honestly, synth isn't even scratching the surface of what Sibelius is capable of. There is this giant list of simply African percussion instruments and literally anything you could possibly imagine. Yeah, I know this song is very repetitive, i'm still trying to grasp the video game music genre. I'm glad you like my take on heavy metal. I wasn't specifically intending for it to be heavy metal but now that you mention it I realise it resembles a bit of it. "way you can do it and mesh it with other styles" This truly shows that I have absolutely no idea what i'm doing hahaha. I'm not a giant fan of heavy metal either, so when I do it I try to add a little of what i'm familiar with. I will experiment further with this genre in the future but I feel that there is still more I want to try before I start actively improving on a certain genre.
