Composed for the title-menu of an upcoming computer game.
The basis is being lost in space within a dream.

Hope you like

It sounds very good, but I can imagine some growing percussion in the second half.

I like it, too, but it does seem to just peter away into nothingness... It'd be nice if it did something a bit more, perhaps percussion like Sam_Zen suggested.

But I guess it makes sense for it not to really carry on for that long, 'cos it's the title screen music. :wink:

Thanks for the feedback. You pretty much answered your own point, bvanoudtshoorn. The title-music has to be short and a limited size ( the game is for download ) so I didn't have too much room for expansion. Introducing percussion would have probably extended it into a full length piece.

Sam_Zen · January 05, 2008, 00:33:27

Not necessarily. Percussion doesn't have to mean introducing some steady beat.
It can also be used to emphasize a moment of chordal change, by hitting for example a snare with much hall, a cymbal, etc.

KrazyKatz

what program do you compose your music in? If it's modplug, what are your settings set at? Your music is excellent by the way.

I compose in Modplug and Cubase SX 3. This piece uses the latter. Feel free to PM for more info.

I listend through all of the stuff on your website during the course of the day today. Very enjoyable and great production values. I liked your orchestral material a lot -- it reminded me of Shostakovich for some reason. The pizzicato strings in some of the pieces were really cool.

KrazyKatz · February 01, 2008, 11:25:00

Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed. Shamefully I haven't heard too much of Shostakovitch, but I'll make a point of doing so!

Cheers!

Excellent tune! I wouldn't say it goes into nothingness - absolutely neat. Percussion will only spoil it all.

Can you share a guitar-like sample you're using? (or is it a VST/sf2) I wanna do smth with it too!

KrazyKatz · February 01, 2008, 13:41:52

Aye, got to agree with you there, Louigi

I'm not sure which samples you're referring to, But P.M me and I'd be glad to help out.
