this is really

, wasn't sure at first (it sounded a bit like an orchestra and a few random musicians tuning up) but the more i listen the more i can hear different stuff going on....

it seems to sway in and out of key/time and everything really but still stays vaguely coherent (spelling?)

the bit with the the staccato violins/violas from about 2.20 with the guitar playing the melody is superb.

incidently, the guitar sounds (in my opinion) a lot more like a harpsichord which i think works very well in the context of this track.

would make an excellent soundtrack for a really tense horror movie or thriller

gonna have to listen a bout 10 more times before i can even comment on the mix (and i'm not sure i could add much anyways)

thanks for sharing this track, it's something i couldn't do myself, would never normally (he he) listen to but am really enjoying

cheers,

steve.

A very interesting piece. It surely does not sound like a realistic orchestra but I don't think you intended it to. The guitar does not even sound close to a real guitar.

Very nice to listen to. Good stuff.

@blaster ...
thanks for listening ...
it's pretty freeform ... glad your open to something a little different ...

@hunter ...
that's too weird ...
you're creeping me out ...
okay ... tag .. you're it ...

@seph ...
i'll try and work on that guitar ...
i was trying for a hollow body electric ...
maybe some amp modeling ...
i don't have alot of experience with this ...

I did not mean that negative. As mentioned above it sounds more like a harp. I still like it and think you have done a good job.

@opia ...

A few observations:

- Timpanis are way too muffled, boost them a tad
- no absynth

- the rolling snares (i think they're there) are muffled too and could just use a little vol up
- for some reason this sounded better with the left and right channel reversed
- no absynth

- I didn't mind one bit the guitar didn't sound like a guitar
- this needs a tad more refined mix
- no absynth

This track is playing tricks on my ears, and is now yearning for more.

Love this different direction you are taking

when i close my eyes i imagine an orchestra,but with a selection of wild animals for various parts of the orchestra

and it seems as i watch them play in my mind each section seems to be eyeing up another section as prey

theres a lot of sneaky looks going about in this orchestra piti think the adders on oboes will come out on top in the end

very interesting piece normal

music for small orchestra , and guitar ...
