Hey Dan - an interesting story. A musician friend of mine not related to this forum reposted this on Facebook because he was so impressed with it.
This song came on after he had been listening to the Fizzy Pickle song.
I couldn't believe it when I saw your song pop up in my Facebook feed.

Ha ha, small world. And, BTW, why isn't he on these forums too? You need to convert him Sonar, lol...

He's a bass player - don't want anymore of them on here............

LOL! My work mate just asked me what's so funny...

All I can say is that was crazy good! Best use of midi samples I've heard in a long time.

I didn't read all the comments....
 
I'll just say that I can see this being used in a movie.  Well done.

Wonderful. Right down the line this is a solid composition - the sparse (to my ears) instrumentation, the strong arrangement (it never gets dull) and the playing (subtle and very effective). I haven't been on the forum in a while - I'd forgotten how good some of this music is.
 
And yes, there is a genuine cinematic feel to this. I thought, girl and a gun - Sharon Stone in the Quick and the Dead. However, this didn't evoke that when I listened - what it did bring to mind are the books by Carlos Castaneda that I had read  - much takes place in the desert - traveling over vast expanses of western desert.
 
I'd love to see this with some accompanying film track. Great job.

My feeling is, if I'm going to use them, they better a) sound great (the samples that is), and b) I better program the crap out of them to make them sound like they should. I've played guitar since I was 8, then drums and bass in high school, so I do know what those instruments should be doing, lol. I still struggle with orchestration because I'm never sure what instruments (voilins, violas, cellos, trombone, trumpet, etc...) should play which parts. I just mix them up until I like what I hear.

Thanks for listening and your kind words!

I'll chime in with the others saying great work! The only thing I have to complain is that ending seems a little lazy as a fade out... Feels like you could do so much better with it. But it's a minor gripe and doesn't really affect the piece so much. :)

Thank you! I've admired your work on various demos very much. Think of it as the fade out into the fade in of the first scene, lol...I suck at endings...

Know the feeling. I usually end my tracks with a bang. Pun intended. :)
