Sounds like a good idea for a new thread Audun. [:)]

Hi guys,

Well mostly what I do is just experimentation. Trying out different stuff, testing if I can do certain things... whatever. If there are documentations you can, of course, turn to that. But mostly I like to figure stuff out by myself, the hard way... [;)]

Anyway, take care,
-Sid.

BTW: My Space Suite is now also featured at: www.hobbyspace.com [:D]

ok...Well yes you can definetly try, try and experiment and try.
But a video tutorial wouldn't be a bad thing...

I don't want to be suprised of it's release, I want to hear WHEN it is coming... If someone knows, please say...........NOW...Sid,Where did you come up with the idea to make "space music"? Are you facinated by space? (well who isn't)
And it's not really much to say about your songs except that they are good...REALLY good. You make the orchestra sound real even though it kinda is.

When I hear a song and hear something that could be better or changed I say to myself: oh, why did he go from C to E and not C to G etc. and things that don't fit in.....
And when I hear your songs playing, theres nothing "wrong" with them. Things match and sounds just great so I can just sit and enjoy....
Especially final flight as I mensioned, the brass at the end....aaahhh. I envy you [[;)]]

Hi Audun,

Haha, thank you! Well I came with the idea because I'm a sci-fi fan and I'm into astronomy-stuff... pictures, galaxies/nebula's 'n stuff. I'm still not quite sure I'm finished telling my space story but I'm sure I'll make another one.

But all the composition I make came from feeling and my head. I mostly hear/know how something must sound before it's written and that's pretty handy to have...

I'm currently thinking of doing a suite of 1 composition. The whole story in 1 compostion of about 20/30min. I'm still working stuff out so be patient... [;)]

Take care,
-Sid.

Hi sid...........The orchestration and arrangement is very good!......the only downside thing i will say (sorry) is that it sounds like a sample libray in certain areas.I just feel it lacks that total authenticity feel ie. you know this is a sample library playing.......but very well done all the same!

Yes well, that's indeed the only downside of samples... [;)]

Anyway, I'm gonna get VSL First Edition and hope my composing and sound will improve. I'm very busy with my second Opus and I think I'll make a sequel to the Space Suite.

Anyway, thanks for your message!

Take care,
-Sid.

Well it doesn't sound like samples...where?

Ok maybe composers can hear it...but you will fool a "normal" person with these songs (hehe [:D] )

"hey guess what dad, I recorded these songs with the symphony orchestra of netherlands. Pretty cool huh?" [:D]

Maybe my ears are clogged, but I think Sid is a good example of making dry samples alive and very much believeable [[;)]]

Keep up the good work!

Thanks man, as always I do my best. So I am hoping to top myself even more with the next suite!

Take care,
-Sid.
