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 

Outstanding.

Thanks foxwolfen!

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!

Thanks so much Lynn!!  

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

Sounds great. Love the strings, dobro and guitar. Actually everything. 

Really loved this one! Great choice of percussion. Everything blends in really well together.

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.

Nice job Jim very well constructed and mixed tune.  I think you caught the ambience you were looking for.

Thanks for sharing
