Encounter with the Event Horizon

i was immediately captured by a sense of space - it really zeroed me in on the music.

i really like the themes in the first couple minutes, very moving. in the second bit of the first movement i thought things maybe lost direction a little?

the loud section seems a little over-compressed. it takes away from the dynamics i think, which would give it more impact. the return to the first theme is good although the ending doesn't quite resolve for me.

overall it's impressive and moving - the main theme is definitely soundtrack worthy.

that's a good tune, very relaxing.

Awesome production, great composition, being a Sci fi fan, this would be great music to listen to if I ever encounter an event horizon. The dissonant part must be where the enemy aliens are encountered. Great job!!

Beautiful (the part up to the dissonence) if leaned back and closed my eyes, very relaxing.

Your skills with the light saber grow my young padiwan. You are making those orchestra plugins shine. I think you could stand to loose the high strings in the "dissonant" part. Then you would have "dissonance without dissonance" if you know what I mean.

Hi Ron,

This is a nice piece. You got a great knack for easing back into the piece after a little fire and brimstone. The instrument sound quality is really good as well. I'll have to back and listen to some of your many other posts I've missed as I know you push these out like a mouse in labor. Really good stuff.

Ohgrant

The dissonace is actually when I got to close to the black hole. We are the enemy aliens.

I am 50 years old. With a Math Major I am sure I can get a job. If I would have studied music like I want to, I am not sure of a job. Simple economics. I would also love to have any orchestra play my music. Maybe they will in a couple of hundreed years.

This one is the proof that I can do more than straight dissonance and slow down some as well.

John

I will watch out for you on the other site as well.

Shad

I know that the dissonant section is not done yet. I can hear it in my head but am having trouble getting it out. Maybe I cancut it out with my Lightsabre. That is the main job of one right? Cutting into brains?

Bill

I had the picture in my head of a discovery channel show talking about Black Holes when I composed this, so I agree with you completely.

This site can be very fast paced with pieces going off the page quickly.

I have always tried hard with transistions and lately they have been working well for me.

Earl

Welcome to the forum. This was some work but mostly just fun. That's why I do it.


Thanks guys

Ron

It took me right in the beginning. This is the music that doesn't have 66 million copies all around. You are a special man, we all 66 million musician think that way, you are special.

Why i can't do this

Ron,

This is right up my street, love the tune. You have captured the essence of East Wests software, You should send it to them, as they would be proud to have this on their demo page as shows that with great skills such as yours what can be accomplished.
I'm sure it would sell a lot more software for them too.

Regards

Mark.

I am a full time student that has little time to compose for fun let alone for profit. If I was ever offered the chance though, of course I would turn it down to keep my music pure.

Yeah right!!!

I hope that Impending doom isnt contagious.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with an important aspect of music. You got to have a great opening that hooks the listener and then you can lead them wherever you desire. That first 5-10 seconds are so important.

As to you being able to do it, all it takes is practice.


Montezuma

I can see where you thought of The Natural, great movie.

Mark

They have a ton of talent over there at EW. I would just be a touch of a flicker in their light.

No How


I have 10 hours of study that I did one semester in Composition. The rest of my studies in music has been done thru years of listening to the Classical Giants. Beethoven, Prokofiev, Bach, Mozart.....etc.

I hope to someday get some real formal training as it would make doing what I do so much easier.

I think what works so well with the Oboes in this is having 2 Libraries to work with. Just as in a real orchestra each instument sounds a little different, the realness can be found thru having multiple patches of Oboes, and the other instruments.

This is my favorite so far as well. I used to say that all the time when I did a new one, but it has been a while. It is a good feeling to be able to say that again.

THanks guys!!!

Ron

Great sounds and I'm no expert on this style of music but in my opinion it is developed very well. Nice job!!

This is probably my favorite one of yours so far too. Very nicely done, as always. I can't believe you can do this in two days. I'm glad you found the time!

WOW!!!!!!!

Ditto Mark on sending it "in".
Made in two days, really???

Ron, wide screen. Great movement, very relaxing. Awesome sounding samples. The change up about half way through took me by surprise, a pleasant surprise.

I like what's going on here a lot. I was waiting for it to get going though. It started to for a bit but went back to meandering along. As for what's there, It is really nice and captures the theme very well. I just think there is not enough build up to the tension and to little of the tension.

Soundwise it is very good.

All in all, very well done!
