What fo you think? Its just an idea, 1 minute long but still a good foundation, dont you think? :)

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

As a foundation I can see this growing into a nice tune, looking forward to the hearing the arrangement grow. Incidentally what did you use for the orchestral sounds?

I like it a lot.  Has a bit of that Ludovico Einaudi sound that I love.  Agree with Biodiode -- curious what orchestral sounds you used because they are super.

very nice composition and sounds Marek - it would be nice to take it into another section/key and bring it back to the main theme for the ending.

oops - duplicate

Hey guys.
 
Thank you so much for your nice words :) I really appreciate it.
 
I also hope that this idea would evolve to a nice, complete piece of music (unlike my numerous other tunes) :)
I cant decide whether this part is more a "chorus" or "verse". Maybe I would just let it "flow"...
 
The sounds (except for piano) are from EW Composer Cloud - EW Gold Symphonic Orchestra. Very nice piece of library and for 30 bucks a month its a steal.
The piano is NI Alicias Keys.
A little bit of reverb, a little EQ on the piano and a little bit of bus compressor and Voxengo Elephant on the Master bus.
 

Nice build up. Has epic potential. My only suggestion would be to slow down the intro a bit and put the lovely piano part a bit more into an ambient field at the start. As is, it sounds a little more mechanical than passionate. I realize it's only an idea, but you did ask for suggestions.
Best of luck!

Thanks Vanessa and Larry for your comments.
 
This piece is definitely on my list of tunes that need to be finished. My problem is I usually end up with just an idea a few bars long but then I lack the creativity or mostly time to finish it to a full song...
 
Are there any techniques that you use once you get back to an old tune and you try to add new parts and finish it? :)

Hi Marek,
I like Vanessa and Larry's suggestions.
 
I don't know if it is the kind of technique you are looking for but check out 'The Chord Wheel' booklet by Jim Fleser.  It may be too rudimentary for you but sometimes just having a schematic is helpful. 
 
Another idea: Just set Sonar to loop through a section and then just improvise for awhile and see what ideas shake out. 

Marek,
 
What Larry said ; apply precepts of composition to this promising idea. You have a good start.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert
