Epic dreams

Well well... it's always a great event when the maestro submits a new piece - and you haven't made us dissapointed!

I liked the song very much. Nice melody - I could imagine this music in a fantasy movie or even in the Narnia movie. I see you changed the bells to kind of music-box sounding instrument. Nice - brought some childish feeling. Altough the string and brass sound set a contrast to it with it's epic-sounding. And I must say great use of brass instruments. Almost sounding like real. I'd have samples like that but I have to cook with the stuff I have.

The choir was a great choice - made the childish and the epic feeling more stronger in the same time. Also I have to mention the great work with the stings. There was a vibration in them after the choir part - really stylish.

After all this track is rather epic like than childish/dreamy. I could easily imagine the full orchestra's pounding support with the whole child choir.

Anyhow great job - stylish, complex, good melodies, good structure. I have no critics to come up with. Nice job as always. Congratulations!

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you madboss, this song does have quite an epic side to it, and as you mentioned it's not very dreamy, for not every world is asleep, not every world that is left is left in ruins and desctruction.

And most definately not every world is left alone at all. I have over time created a giant canvas of a world for myself, I frequent often, with it's own cultures, peoples, landscapes (a few that I visit again and again and put more details into it every time), and so for these worlds that still live, this energy, this epic power I gave in this song, goes out for them.

My mind functions in strange ways, forgive me if I ranted ;). Thank you for the review madboss, always a pleasure to read from you. I'm glad you liked the piece.

wow

truly amazing, i hope to one day to be able to write like you. i hope to see more in the future ^.^

MaestroRage responds:

If you keep at it, you will be able to write what I can, and even better. I myself have no music theory, everything you hear is self taught, and so I encourage you to keep at your craft. If you encounter anybody along the way who says you need music theory to write anything good, you shouldn't let that burden you. It is true, I won't lie, music theory will launch you faster into being able to write what you want and how you want it, but it is not CRUCIAL.

In any case, i'm glad you enjoyed the track, thank you for the review!

Sounds like...

A certain other piece you wrote, under a different name. Still, I like that song, and this one was improved in almost every way.

Good job!

MaestroRage responds:

It is in fact! Under SoulStrings (Now MaestroSegments), I am revamping those songs and uploading them here, as I enjoy some of them a good deal.

Expect a few more from there... I already have my teeth sharpening a few more ;).

Thank you for the review UtterNonsense, greatly appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the track!

Very Nice

This is an amazing compostion and piece. I can picture myself in some kind of fictional world.

The song itself sounds very professional and has a nice instrument choie and and melodies. I really liked those begining bells, they really started the song off good, then more and more instruments came in and started to progress. Until it finally came into an amazing piece.

Great work.

A review back would be appreciated^_^

MaestroRage responds:

The toy box sounds are easily heard as bells, I suppose it's nobodies fault, if I weren't told they were what they were, then i'd think them bells as well.

In any case, your image is dead right on as well. And you know what, by creating that fictional world, you have just woven a reality and then scrapped it once you left it to let your mind wander elsewhere. So in this scenerio, this song is made for just that.

I'm glad you liked the track, i'll hit you back soon I promise ^^. Thank you again for the review.

A beautiful melody...

I interpret this piece in many ways, from imagination waiting to be awakened to forever sleeping worlds.

I love how you incoprated the music box along with strings and that beautiful horn solo. Your sence of polyphony is awesome, and that's the sign of an awesome composer.

Great lullaby MaestroRage. I can't wait to hear more from you! ^_^

(P.S.

Thank you for your help! :) I really appreciate it, believe me. :) )

MaestroRage responds:

I'm glad you enjoyed the piece smartpoetic, you nailed the song on the dot! The image I used was worlds, waiting to be born. I thought, just because nobody thought of that world yet, doesn't mean it didn't exist right? I can see the characters of that unborn world huddled together around a campfire, joking with each other, and just waiting.

"I bet i'll have to kill you >:)"
"Oh ple-EASE!"

And when the world is born, and the "creator" stops visiting that world... it returns to a state, undisturbed and free. Altered, changed, and perhaps destroyed by the "creator" for their whim.

It is a foolish sentiment I know, but it is one I thought about for a long while.

Thank you for the review!

(You're welcome, any time ;)
