's pretty nice man. G'job.
Great!!!
Thanks, I'm surprised no one has commented on anything bad about it
the percussion sounds like a marching band
Wow it's amazing! Great job.
Thank you guys for the nice feedback :)
No problem, I'm sure if you keep this shit up you're very likely to get asked to make music for games, because this shit is awesome if it's just you making it!
Wonderful job mate. Quite fond of the instruments too, always liked the sound of orchestras.

[QUOTE=ExEcuteFox;35078751]I'm very glad to hear that, Would love to do music for games[/QUOTE] The thing is you could probably apply for a job at a game developer studio and ask to make music for them, they'll most likely say yes (I mean if you sent me this with the application I'd accept the fuck out of you lol)
Depending on what sort of music you intended on writing, I could have some criticism or a compliment. It sounds quite a bit like the orchestral backing to a pop song (a good one at that), so if you had intended to write 'classical' (which people seem to use synonymously with 'orchestral') music then there are some things you may want to think about changing. Primarily this is because of the harmony and structure you have set up. Firstly the structure. It follows the sort of pattern you expect from a pop song in that it has a fairly strong start, a piano breakdown about three quarters of the way through and a gradual build in intensity with a big finale. Secondly the harmony follows a rigid looping of the same four diatonic chords. Admittedly there are suspensions and slight extensions to the chords in the higher, but the bass line remains very constant throughout, and it is this which has a great deal of bearing over how the chord 'sounds'. Thirdly, from a purely instrumental stand point, if the piece was designed to be played live by real instruments as opposed to virtual ones, then you wouldn't be able to achieve that level of volume from the violin/viola pizzicato. Last of all, I'd like to say that the above only really applies if you intended on writing a classical piece, but it's always good to keep these sorts of things in consideration, even if you then decide to ignore them, when writing music of any kind. I'd also like to say that from an objective stand point, going purely by how it sounds, I really like it!

I was going to say pretty much what Lord Pirate said. It's really poppy, but if that's what you're going for then good on you.
Actually sent chills down my spine. Awesome.
I love this actually, its amazing. The drumming makes me think of black parade.
add a brass section to the finale to bring it all home.
