cool
funky. never heard anything in 5/4 before. and it sounds really cool =D
i love the way part of the song seems like a ship going through a storm then transitions to a part where its calm-sorta like going through the eye of the storm- then goes hard again =D
Ahh, you figured out exactly what I was try to portray. You know in the classic movies when everyone gets through a tough part and thinks everything is ok... but then an even bigger disaster hits them!
I love it when that happens :). Glad you liked the piece!
It's epic!
Yes, thats what it's all about. Would be great for a big fighting scene or something like that. The percussion sound nice and druggy, just right for those kind of tunes. Your soundquality and choise of instruments is superb, they all fit together very well. I especially love that "heroic" part at the end, very catching melody.
Good job man!
Can't give you more then 5/5. But I would, if I could. ;)
Damn impressive...
Hello DavidOrr
Well you've been kind enough to drop me several reviews, and damn it, they were all helpful, so I said "Lets go check out what David's doing!
D:
You killeded my hopes of flourishing! I joke I jest, this song has given me an intense drive to improve.
Lets begin our review by analysing mood and atmosphere.
I am hearing extremely high quality sounds, and I think they may be from East West Gold if I am not mistaken.
Thank you kind sir, you have swayed my heart to a new allegiance. Go East West!
It's incredibly epic, I don't really think I have to drive any of that home, I could definatly see this in any game, or movie. Me personally, I see a great fortress under siege, but for some reason, I see only 5 defenders in the fort, against a swarm of many thousands.
They're probably insanely powerful people, I don't know, there are so many images that come through my head with this song, its kinda funny.
At 0:58, that part I believe is what Arbiter was talking about, and though I do agree with him on his points, I believe this would be fine as it is as well.
Enough about mood, i'm afraid there is simply too many images for me to properly sit down with one and talk about it, instead lets talk about melody and instruments.
Tell me, that violin? you have playing at 1:32, what effects did you do to it? How did you get it sounding like that? I have been dying to try and find out, for I feel several of my pieces requires that kind of energy fused into it, otherwise they are bland, and simply unusable.
Another thought is flute. I didn't hear it here, and though I imagine it's not a very good instrument to depict the sea, I felt it would be a good instrument to depict wind, and seeing as its a stormy sea, I would have liked to hear a flute :).
I love the bells, I adore them, I love the large shiny brassy shape of them, i'd make sweet love to bells and strings, the two instruments that are in my head, the worlds greatest invention, and the fact you have so many strings, and the perfect use of bells, makes this my biblical song.
These are most of my organizable thoughts David. I salute you good sir, keep up the good fight, and the fighting spirit strong, above all keep them coming ^^.
Goodbye DavidOrr.
Woah, long review. Let's see here...
Gold is correct. Glad you like East West, they are wonderful in everything they produce!
Violin is from Gold as well. I used 3 different samples to get that effect though (keyswitching is VERY VALUABLE)!
I thought about a flute, but it never really fit into the piece. I love flutes, so it was a great loss indeed. I was very happy to get bells though, becuase I too love them!
Always great to hear from you, and thanks for the support!
:O
*jaw dropps*
this is amazing
reminds me of Pirates of the Carribean in a way... I like the use of the snare. Oh man. I gotta download this. You are very very awesome.
The reason it is in 5/4 is because I originally had it in 4/4, and the melody resembled Pirates pretty closely. With a few melodic meodifications and the change in time signature, it still has the same feel of Pirates, but has a different sound. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the review!
You've Done it Again Orr
Hey David, Long time Listener, First Time Reviewer.
I'm Amazed you havn't already marched into a Video Game Studio to get a job composing music, And I am Definately Getting The Gold Library Now :P
How long did it take you to compose this masterpiece?
EWQL Is Definately going to help your career, Bigtime.
Hey bud! This one took me only an hour and a half or so, A Hero Reborn took me about 2 and a half. As for videogames, I've got a couple I'm working on, but they aren't by huge companies. One is an indie and one is aimed for retail.
Glad you're going for the gold, it's a lot better. Thanks for the review, I'm looking forward to hearing some of your orginal stuff!
