Ikävä - Possibly the Best Thing I've Ever Composed (ololol it still sucks) - General

I'm really happy with the outcome on this one. [media]http://soundcloud.com/rayven/ik-v[/media] I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. :buddy:

This is a really, really beautiful song - I love it.

Its funny because most people don't know what the name means

I'm assuming it means all non-Scandinavians are peasants.

Thanks guys! :love: [QUOTE=Hakita;30542456]Its funny because most people don't know what the name means[/QUOTE] at least you know bby

Well, I've decided I'd like to learn to play this song so I made an arrangement of it for the piano. If anyone else would like the arrangement, you can get it here: [url]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19287374/Ik%C3%A4v%C3%A4.pdf[/url]

biscuit want VST :( I love how you get the mix of the really light 'childish' Xylo/bell part(?) with the really epic strings in the background, very neat effect. I rated it heart because it's cute that way. I don't think the drums are going about the right thing during that really cool choral part, I think they should cut out for more orchestral instruments, cymbals, etc and no snare of any kind, but it doesn't kill it by any means.

And that childish xylobell is actually a celeste! :buddy:

This is rather epic. Beautiful arrangement, and I especially love the choirs toward the end. Very awesome indeed.

Thanks a lot! :h: Good to know you guys like it too. :v:

The songs really good, the only problem I have with it is when the cymbals play over the choir. I think if you instead only had the bass drum playing over the choir, the one at 1:17 that sounds like a heartbeat, IMO it would sound much better. Overall, it's amazing.

Brah, I dug the shit out of it. You will become king of the Jersey Shore.
