Hi,

It's been a while since I was around to post - I've had a hellish time with work commitments - but here's some new music from the Purple Rhapsody one man band!

The track is called New Beginnings, some of you may recognise the 2 minutes as they were previously posted as "A Dramatic Idea" - it's a bit longer now and the music is all finished. It still needs proper mastering but that'll be when the rest of the album is finished (only 2 tracks complete so far)!

This is a bit of a departure from my usual style - more drama and less melody - but I hope you enjoy it!

All crits welcome - I need the sound to be as big as the arrangement!

Cheers,
Terry.

Terry, your playing and engineering skills are awesome, as always.  This song sounds huge and epic, and you  may have to write a movie to go with it.  Cheers to you, and have a happy New Year!!

Love how the piano opening riff plays with the percussion.   WOW. . . 1:32 nice how it becomes thick and fills the full stereo spectrum. GREAT JOB!

Wow excellent work! Great piano work and orchestration!!! Thanks for sharing.

Very dramatic stuff Terry. 

This sounds as though it would work really well in a film setting.

The orchrestration is particularly well done.

Excellent arrangement.

Nice work.

Gotta bring that piano arpeggio up, Terry. Its way too quiet. I think this is a dramatic and very epic piece. I find myself saying the same thing twice tonight and that is the instrumentation is not doing it justice. I think you need a much more realistic orchestral plugin to take this to the next level. Brilliant otherwise.

Great piece! I agree with Shad that the piano arp needs to come way up. The drums also seem to be burried by the loud orchestra....perhaps tone down the orch part? I dunno...it's all subjective.

Nice production chops my friend.....

I need to listen again on cans when I have the time. 

Well done. 

Fantastic track Terry, love the tension and release at 1:30. Beautifully arranged strings. I agree with the comments about the piano, it does get lost quite quickly.

Great soundtrack! ...like "hearing" a movie.
I agree with blipp's comment. This is made for Film.
