New song: soundscape for action/adventure film set in the Arizona desert
Hi Everyone, Just finished this piece that I wrote to challenge myself to come up with a theme for an action-adventure movie set in the Arizona desert. I was trying to capture the feel of the barren desert landscape, then going into an action scene out of that opening scene. I recorded this in Sonar X1 Producer using a dobro, classical guitar, Studio Strings, and Stylus RMX. I'm pushing myself to compose more things and improve my orchestration chops. This is the best way I know to do that by composing more stuff and try new things to find out what works. You can hear the song at this link: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12182466 Thanks for listening! --Jim

What foxwolfen said. The mix of guitars, strings, and percussion blend into a field of huge tones and depth that I find very rare anywhere. Your use of reverb is right on the money. This couldn't be more professional. Bravo!

Sometimes I like to go to the last page and find the song with the lowest hits and comments and this one was it. Well, I have to say you were cheated, because you have done a great work hear and have done exactly what you started out to do. This was awesome and you hit your mark. I did a desert song also, but it wasn't in Arizona, but a land far, far away. It is called Searching for the Dead Sea Scrolls and you can listen to it on my soundclick link below. I enjoyed yours, hope you will enjoy mine. Very nice work you did here, thank you for sharing.
Peace be with you. Blessings, John

That's very nice indeed Jim. I like your sound choices very much, and the use of slide dobro set against a nylon string guitar is really atmospheric. Great groove too.
