Reviews for -Orr- Larry's Theme

BRAVO!

Another fun, adventurous composition! I love the energy and feel to it, and you did a nice job mastering the end product. Perhaps a bit too repetitive with the bells and snare drum...try to mix up the percussion up a bit. Other than that, nice work- the electric guitar and orchestra combo is one of my favorite sounds... epic!

p.s. for my orchestration project I'm hand-writing an arrangement of Rush's "YYZ", using electric violin...not sure if Chris Hill will be happy with me. Oh, and I miss my computer SO MUCH right now. GOD DAMMIT

battlefield

yea part of it does sound VERY similar to the main beat used in all the battlefield themes lol, but I defiantly like the loop, very good :) (and heres a link to a youtube video of the battlefield 2142 intro so you can hear the theme music :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk4wEA O07hM )

DavidOrr responds:

Wow what an intense video! Thanks so much for sending me the link :). These are actually quite a bit different. Very similar style of course, but quite different melodies and arrangement. A few years back I wrote a piece and a friend told me it was almost the exact same melody as a piece on Metallica's S&M. He showed me that and I was pretty shocked (I don't listen to much Metallica, so the chance of me hearing it before I wrote it was pretty slim).

The problem with a lot of pop music like this is that the progressions and styles are so powerful and similar. It can get very easy to start hearing (and writing) parts of different pieces without even knowing it. This instance isn't especially similar, but it's something musicians writing for this style constantly need to be aware of.

Thanks for the review!!

Brilliant

I'm failing to see why this song has a rating below 4. I love songs with an epic feel to them, and this is nothing less than epic. Its really fitting the way its used in the Larry animations. It makes me feel as though what I have just watched is awesome (which is indeed the case). If you make any more songs for the Larry series, I hope you make them with the same excellent quality.
