Unfinished piece in michael giachinno / final fantasy mood

[nicolas.soulat]

Hi,

I'm a beginner here and i would like to share with you a little piece i made with universal strings I, brass and woodwinds, giga studio, gigapulse, and some other libraries from best services.

I don't know where i'm going so if there are any professional advices, anything i could get, this would be great.

Thanks again.

Hi Nicolas,

maybe it's a problem with people don't understand words like 'telecharger' ? :)

Anyway, I've listened to the piece and in my humble opinion it suffers from strange disconnection of very abrupt transition from introduction into the rhytmical structures you have later on. Such transition would certainly take me more time (musical timewise). Also watch out for rough edges like in 0:48, 0:59 and so on. Sounds too unnatural to be a fluent transition. I'd probably try to focus on unification of the style (it's a bit mixed grill of styles). I can hear quite nice ideas inside but they need to be more polished to work. Maybe trying to make the piece sound more fluent would help you as well. 

I am in general usually suggesting to start with bringing into your piece less ammount of ideas and work with them thoroughly to learn how they work and how much they need to be properly developed. If you throw into the 'kettle' too much, you can certainly end up with less impact than desired.

Just my insignificant 2 cents so feel free to ignore me. ;)

Hi,

Thanks for you concern and comment [;)]

You're right in some ways, but i must have added that it's a piece composed on a definite screenplay which involve several scene and changes on a scenario.

So it's pretty normal that the change appear to be a little brutal.[:P]

I quite like it. In a weird sort of way the opening reminds of A Matter of Life and Death.

Then it sort of reminds me of Tony Hancock - must be the tuba!

All in all, pretty good sound and works for me.

Yeah .. took me a while to figure out how this is downloaded. Good piece. thought the overall orchestration was very good and the mix was well balanced. Not really sure how to comment on the piece in terms of music seeing as how your taking it wherever you want it to go and I would just say go with it. Nice use of depth. Are you using Pre-fade bus sends to achieve this? . Nice Job

Nice Job

 

Thanks very much,

i'm having the hardest time to recover inspiration on this one because the screenplay is a little shorter and i have to achieve a proper final...

To answer your question, i indeed use prefade sends to have deepness.

But i'm a little novie on that and i don't manage the resualt as well as it could be.

Let's go to work and thanks again.
