    Hi everyone,

    Can you please have a listen to my newest composition title "Creation".

    The full strings are entirely Appassionata, and I've used the Soprano Choir to give it richness.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

  • beautiful, i like the arrangement and i think it made the atmosphere with its simple but well used instruments, i really like the atmosphere, it's dark but enlightened, mysterious but somehow innocent and dreamy :) the one thing that stood to me the most is that the track didn't sound complete to me in terms of music and thoughts, meaning i couldn't get a result from tracking its story, the climax ended without completing the plot so to speak. i hope this sounds beneficial to you and have a nice composition :)

  • Yeah thanks for that!  I agree.  It's something that I'm still trying to work through with most of my compositions.  I believe it might be a bit off ADD, where as I get bored with the track so I end up concluding it pre maturely.  I need have more patients to fully develop the idea.  


  • yes it happens, i really get you, i have stuff that's left on the hard drive to be completed later as well :D one of the ways i fight this impatience is to wait till the idea is complete in my head and soul, till i know about what exactly i am going to write about, then i start creating melodies

  • It reminds me a little of John Adams towards the end.. very cool.
