    Hi,

    I´d like to post music with I wrote for a theater piece in Cologne. I did 14 small pieces, most 45 sec. between every scene and used most vsl instruments. I hope you enjoy all music in one file:

    Feel free to listen and comment.

    Thanks a lot,

    Can't tell about the show, surely the music is worth a travel to Cologne.

    This sounds great to me; very well produced! For some reason the oboe sounds much more fake than the other instruments (nothing one can do with solo strings in some areas) - I don't know why that should be the case.

    Very nice and with good variation. Your orchestration reminds me of Kurt Weil (who wrote music for most of Berthold Brecht's theater pieces).

    Hallo Errikos, I am happy that you like my music. I´m still not uncertain with the mixing, becaurse I am more musician than technician. Maby I have to bring the Oboe more in the back?

    Thanks Max, you are right, I thougt a bit of Weil, special with the ensemble cast. I wrote first 4 themes for every actor in the piece and played with them in every scene how the story was. 

    Greetings to Hamburg :-)

    These sound really good and make me very curious to see the show.  I like the movement from one section to another and all the humorous variation, especially as how it is a fairly small ensemble in the orchestration.

    Mix sounds really good from here, quite natural.Engin[i]ear[/i]ing is as essentialas engineering.

    You´re right Fabio. I realized in the middle of the composition, that there is a little problem with the velocity of the french oboe. Next time I will try it more in your way. Thanks. I already used the values, but maby to less. :-)

    I am happy that you find the sound good enough. I still did the mix with to less knowledge. Learnig by doing.

    I don't think there are misplacements in your mix. I guess Errikos refers to oboe's timbre than its presence.

    That's indeed what I meant, thanks.
