The Waltz of Ladyhawke
Lots has changed on this number. Now starts with a slower tempo and a few tempo changes. A couple of EQ tweeks. Extra strings on the fade out with an idea from Wook, up the verb as the music fades. Oh and a name change too.. https://soundcloud.com/ru...the-waltz-of-ladyhawke

Interesting how you've laid out the stage: From right to left = dark to light. Was that intentional?
Lovely piece, but I think it could use more dynamics to add some emotion.
Regards,
Dan

Yes Dan, I kinda wanted a waltzy duel between the dark and light instruments. Might have to try to up it a little more. Maybe some more electric gt to flight in harmony with the flute and violin. Will do, I'll get some more dynamics going to. Not had a chance today thou. Perhaps I should call it Sunset duel?! Gus

Oh No [font="'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 26px; line-height: 1.8"]Sorry! We can't find that track. Did you try to access a private track, but were not logged in? Maybe the track has been removed.

I guess I was updating it at the time.

Unfinished perhaps, but if so a heck of a good start.  For me the darker aspects do make it sound more like midnight to me than sunset. A sleepy outro similar to the intro might be cool.

Thanks Steve, A slight update and a name change. My wife (she's a brain) said it would fit the tale of Ladyhawke. In short, Two cursed lovers. A man is a wolf by night and a woman is a hawk by day and can only spend the brief moments in time when the sunrise as well as sunsets together as human. So in this respect it works brilliantly well Light and dark coming together for a short waltz before going their separate ways.

Liked that movie a lot. Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer, IIRC. The tune fits that concept well.

Thanks for listening and adding some words James.
I've not seen the film. Seen a few clips and Pfeiffer looks really good :)
Might have to watch it, if I can find it.

Nice one Gus, I like the title change and yes the tune does fit the film Ladyhawke which happens to be one of my favourite Sword and Sorcery films. This piece would fit well at that point of sunrise or set when they glimpse each other for a flitting moment then part. Overall I like and the mix is generally good, the distorted guitar on the right does tend to over whelm a little perhaps just down a dB or two. Other than that a very nicely constructed and played piece with a mix that complements the tune. Thank you for sharing
