A short composition

anything?

Nice hooks and interesting use of pitch slides (pitch bend / glissando)  
 
Minor Criticisms: Mix is a bit lop-sided (Drums).  In some parts the very low brass notes have a little too much spit, the spit can be tamed in various ways such as, filter cut.  Crescendos (brass) is nice but could be a little more dynamic (dramatic), and at other times the brass is a bit low in the mix.  Piano at times i.e. earlier in the piece, is a little too far back in the mix.  Arrangement seems somewhat unfinished... i.e. what works exceptionally well with brass is a 'string ensemble' for subtle changes and build ups, or more dramatic if you wish. 
 
 
 

Thanks a lot for the comments, guys! This is my second attempt at an energetic brass-powered piece like this and I think I'll keep writing things with similar instrumentation.
 
Tom, I'll keep your comments in mind for a future mix of this track. Humurously enough, the 4/4 at the end of the piece made me only think "Japanese Anime" theme song sound, and I felt that super-high trumpet made it work, but at the same time I arranged this in only about 2 hours so i didn't work everything out as perfectly as I could have/would have!
 
SongCraft, you're definitely right. I originally intended to write in a string section but I had trouble figuring out how to fit it in well. I'll have to be more aware of my arrangement choices as I go forward.
 
Starise, thanks for the comments here and there! All of this is actually like-recorded brass, albeit treated a bit to sound as good as a 2-hr mix will let it sound.
Thanks a lot for listening, guys! More soon :)
 

Thanks for listening, John! I actually record all of my brass (except french horn). I prefer augmenting samples/synths with live instruments because I think of myself as more of a mix engineer rather than a composer/arranger; I like to hear finished products!

Dave, I like your eclectic style and arrangements.  As this was so short, I was left with wanting more.  I agree with others that you could tweak the mix a bit, but you have something good to work with.  BTW, I used to play in a brass band, so I like your brassy arrangements.

I played coronet for five years before I took up guitar.
