Bit like Blackhawk Down OST this time.

It's only short as I'm still working on a cohesive arrangement.

And soundcloud has smashed the shite out of it as usual, so downlaods are on if you can be bothered. :p

Good work, Geoff. This evokes the middle-eastern/desert atmosphere very well. Nice doudouk and I like the bass and reverb on here. Quite a sad sound.

I like it

Excellent teasing track, although the intro gave me a bit of a jolt - very reminiscent of Tim Conrardy's work.

Very nice! What did you use for the lead part if I may ask?

Thanks to everybody, and especially that TC reference. Sadly I must leave all the kudos firmly in the lap of the genius that is Omnisphere. But then again I am a hack so why wouldn't I?

I'm thinkin Gabriel's Passion straight away, which is a very good thing. Really nice! Quite some bottom end on that too.

wow, cool!

A little too much reverb in my opinion. And the duduk sounds like the previous note is killed abruptly when hitting the next one in 0:44-0:46. A bit strange.

Are all sounds omnisphere?

Cheers big ears

I was worried that I went a bit overboard with the low, but I do like it that way. I'll probably be a little more surgical with the EQ on the final mixdown.

Thanks dude. The Duduk is from RA which has no real legato and suffers from some nasty retriggering on fast notes so i'm at it's mercy a little. I'm saving furiously for Desert Winds and yes, I am a reverb whore

The vast majority is, apart from the main Duduk. There's also some random samples in there as well but all the synths are Omnisphere.

I like the grandness and the plaintive quality of the lead at the start.....oopps, it's finished....great, carry on

Excellent piece. It reminded me more of Williams for some reason, not Zimmer, buy if you're picking people to aspire to you couldn't do much better than Zimmer.

nice one! I found the duduk convincing, also without legato transitions...

cheers
