Very Soundtrack Like!
This is a very nice movie soundtrack like song that goes well when on an airplane flight.
The song indeed is beautiful!
Reviews for "-Orr- Soaring in the Stars"
Had to do a little hunting for this one. Saw your name in "Flight" at Armor Games. Searched and found your site. Searched your blog for the link here. Glad I did the legwork... this song's a favorite!
It definitely has that Christmas rush/dashing on the ground/get ready to fly feel... rushed, but eager, not anxious. It felt like it belonged on an NBC 1980s holiday special. At 0:35-0:45 I thought I heard a nuance toward the old NBC Nightly News theme/bumpers, and again at 1:15-1:20 with a mini-reprise at 2:00-2:05. That added to the nostalgia flavor for me. And I appreciated the gliding/soaring movements along with the parts to dive for speed. It's a temptation to let the music take over your fingers when you play the game "Flight."
I'd welcome hearing this in other works. And I'll be jamming to this in the airport when my flight back to the States comes up.
In short, a full five star rating. You've earned your wings.
A submission to remember.
Brilliantly composed!
Epically mystic!
It was also great in *Flight*.
Amazing,
9/10
The music never gets old in Flight
and then I found out it was you who made it... I like this a lot. I love the melody a lot, it's so uplifting and wants to go on some more.
Yeap you should make real video game songs!
Dont run after me with a baseball bat but i got one thing i didnt like about this song:
its like its constantly jumping between 2 songs. then that part, then that part, then that part. like at 0:16. you make it fit in, and dont get me wrong its still a nice download-worthy song, but meh i would have preferred if you could make this a song with not these insta-melody-changing parts. there are plenty in this song.
Sorry i cant explain better, im not to good in english yet.
But i do enjoy this song, just like almost of your songs!
dont stop making music :)
DavidOrr responds:
I used some pretty intense call and response writing in this piece, which is what you're referring to. It definitely keeps the energy at a peak and feels like it is always pushing to move faster. It may not suit your fancy outside of the game (it's a taste thing, after all), but it works really effectively in-game!
Thanks for the review!
