Example of my soundtrack work:
A dramatic, haunting atmosphere rises as more and more layers enter.
This piece is based around one simple chord sequence.
It begins with dramatic percussion combined with a punchy, powerful bass sound.
It slowly evolves through the addition of a rippling piano motif, guitar melody and various background sounds.
The finale is led by a soaring female vocal line.

I can appreciate the economy of this piece. No wasted notes or time.
I'm not crazy about the bombastic percussion but I suppose it's standard practice for soundtracks these days. The melodic elements are woven in a very appealing way making me wish the piece was a bit longer.
I am wondering if the piano part is quantized. Perhaps it could be a bit looser.
Good job.

Thanks for the feedback:
"Bombastic percussion":
I know what you mean...definitely NOT standard practice for me, (would never do it out of choice), but it's what the client requested and he was paying!
Length of Piece:
Again, I see your point, but that's the length that was requested for the opening scene of the stage play.
I did mess around with a much longer, more developed version, but never found the time to complete it...maybe soon?
Piano was played live and then looped...I must've been working to a seriously tight clock that day! :0)

Yep, the customer is always right. I think you did a very good job while working within the constraints of the assignment.ChamMusic wrote: I know what you mean...definitely NOT standard practice for me, (would never do it out of choice), but it's what the client requested and he was paying!
