Tempest_New Instrumental
Here is a piece I did a couple of years ago and never posted as I hadn't completed the mastering on it. I recently had some time on my hands to work on getting this finished and so I hope you find it worthy. As always your comments are important to me and always welcomed. I hope you will enjoy this piece. Thanks you in advance for listening. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12230066 "Tempest" Peace and Blessings, John

This is a very moving piece of music. I'm reminded of some of the background music in "Jesus Christ Superstar". You have great samples, and you know how to orchestrate very well. It's always educational to hear your music. Peace!

So, are you Miklos Rozsa in disquise? That was indeed moving. I liked when the choral stabs came in. Did you learn orchestration formally, or teach yourself. I'm interested in making soundtrack music and I was thinking maybe just study scores. Thank you for sharing.

Lynn, Thank you for listening and for the nice compliments. Although I may use a lot of loops and samples in my music, it is always still a challenge trying to line them all up properly so they sound right and actually create a complete musical production when finished. I do at times even play music and make loops to add into these pieces, but I haven't had to play to much in the past couple of years, because I have so many already made loops and samples, it's just easier to tie them all together and be creative, so I can make the kind of music I enjoy the most. I will soon be doing more playing though, as I am getting a Custom Shop Gibson ES 339 Flame Top and so look for some new and exciting pieces coming to a neighborhood near you soon. Thanks for your comments, they are always appreciated. I really did enjoyed your last piece, it was awesome! Peace and Blessings, John

Moe, Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are much appreciated. This was created using various loops and samples and as for orchestration, it is just a knack I have for the big screen, but don't have any real formal training other than what I learned in high school many, many, many, many years ago. I just like playing around with loops and samples and seem to have a gift of arranging the right stuff in the right way to create a finished product. There are so many products out there for creating scores that you can become broke spending money on them all, unless, of course, you have a good job and can afford them. The hardest part is creating the different tracks and getting everything to line up properly and meld together. It takes a lot of time and concentration, then you have to master each track to your liking and then theirs the final mix that brings it all together. It is really a lot of work, but I like to think it is all worth the time and effort. Peace and Blessings, John

twisted6s, Thanks for listening and for your comments, they are much appreciated. I wish I had a movie for this to go along with the music, as well. Maybe some day it will happen, but for now, we can all just hopefully enjoy this piece until it happens. Thanks again for listening. Peace and Blessings, John

Hey, Guitarplayer, I didn't hear any guitars but I believe I heard everything else. Big sound. Nice work, John! I've always been too lazy to do something like that. Well, that's better than saying I don't have a clue how you do it!

Warren, Thanks for the listen and your comments, they are much appreciated. Glad to have you back. You didn't hear guitar in this one because there isn't any and this was created using loops and samples from Smart Sounds music library. You just add what you like, arrange everything, edit and master and your good to go. Some are easy and some a bit more complicated. Lots of fun though. Peace and Blessings, John

Ha, I knew there was no guitar. I was just makin' fun. I sat down once to create something like this but I had limited resources (files, loops, etc.) After an hour I figured I'd let you guys do these things. It really is nice work, John

clintmartin, thanks for listening and for the nice comments, they are much appreciated. It's not really as hard as it seems when you have the right tools to work with, and of course the right loops and samples. And with Izotope Ozone 5, mastering is a breeze. Peace and Blessings, John

This piece has come up again on Sound Click and I had done some remixing on it a while back and thought I would repost to see what you think and get some of your comments and insight. The remixing was using Izotope Alloy 2 and Ozone 6 through my Sony Sound Forge Pro 9 software. Let me know your thoughts on how it sound and where some improvements could be had or if it sounds good as it is. Thanks for listening. Peace and Blessings, John

I dunno.... sounds pretty good here! Epic would be an accurate term IMO. I also like how you incorporated a few synth tones in the mix.

Hi John, I've not heard this one before... What a classic I mean, I pretty know what to expect, now that I have listened to a few of your compositions here, and this is yet another great tune. In fact, the word "tune" does not do it justice cheers andy

Well, thank you Andy for your very nice comments, they are much appreciated and welcomed. I do try my best to create pieces that fit the title of the piece and fit a video that is playing in my mind. I do understand that not everybody will see the same video that my mind is playing, but my hope is that the video in your minds, based on the title of the piece will be close enough to the message that also goes along with the music that I have created. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. Peace and Blessings, John

I suspected that had happened, but didn't know for sure. How very sad.
