Description

Just finished a track for a local competition back here in Singapore.

They gave a simple melody to put in...

I just changed it rhythmically and added some of the synths i've been dying to use :D

Drums - Microtonic
Synths - Operator
Strings - Garritan Personal Orchestra
Choir - EastWest Symphonic Choirs

Sampled & Mixed in Live 5

	Oh yes... the strings!!! As soon as they kick in it definitely gets epic. As Joel said, would be killer in a kung-fu flick! I can see the scenes unfold as I listen. As well, the craziness about 3/4 of the way in was a nice little ditty. Excellent breakdown. I hope you do well in the comp. Thanks for sharing.

	great track A well balanced mix. The strings a pleasant surprise contrasting with the 'farting' leading synth. A very good job. Thanks for sharing. Walter Check out my latest song called boundaries

	I agree On the strings here. They sound quite clever arranged, and the mellotron (?). sounds very good. You got a nice drift going on here sir, triggered alot of emotions! Check out my latest song called So Far (Out Of Reach)

I really like it
I like the synth bass at the beginning. A great hook. Would work well
on the TV show "Alias."

The choir is great! Sounds very much like a movie soundtrack.

The violin solo is very effective.

Again with the synth bass. That is great!

This is my first listen to your songs, Joel. You've got a great talent for
putting songs together.

Best,

John

	East of West and back again Very cool World sound. This has cinematic fullness. I like the quirkiness and invention.

	Like It This reminds me of a few bands I like. Namely, "Conjure One." Now you just need to find a Poe or O'Connor to lay down some cool vocals. Not sure how long the track is, but if you do add in vocals, might be a bit short. Not my usual style, but still enjoyable. Check out my latest song called Gardens

	While not a Blues Classic, Being a Blues guy, this is Over There, to me, But This is a Great Mix, both Rich and Detailed. Powerful. Has compelling Momentum. Wish, only, that the Percussion Breaks were more forward and wider, but hardly a major flaw. Compliments and Regards, Cooper Check out my latest song called Intimate Anyway

Killer production!
I've never understood how you breakbeat/drum'n'bass/electronic people
do your beats. It sounds to me like a LOT of patience is involved!
This sounds really good - the strings and the choir make a nice contrast
to the groovy, electro beats and that rugged bass synth. Really dug the
beat break near the end.
And finally - a big KUDOS on the production - it's really great!
