Description : Hi there! I hope you are ok. Well, I bring my newest composition. I called it: "Toward the Valley of Death we ride" 'cause I imagined a kind of battle or something like that. Constructive criticism is always welcome. This track was made in Magix Music Maker 2014 Premium. The Voices are from Voxos Virtual Epic Choir for Kontakt. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...

I liked the song. This is the first I've heard of Magix Music Maker. Do you only use that program for composing, or do you own multiple programs for music making?
Yes, I only use Magix for composing. FL is too complicated for me :P
When I have to record my voice or add extra sounds, I use Adobe Audition, too.
I know, I'm a real noob in this stuff.
Thanks for listening and comment!
Best wishes.
Yes, a very good cinematic track. I thought it might work well with an episode of Game of Thrones! :) I read Sohostar's comments and your response. I'm not exactly sure what he's suggesting either, but I think I partially understand. I think he's "seeing" a battle scene unfolding as he listens to your music, like a movie. What he didn't "see", apparently, was the kind of shifting from one view (e.g., a broad view of the battle), to a more focused view of only a part or the action that is going on. He's thinking cinematically, which is a high compliment for you because that's what your music has triggered in his imagination. He's essentially asking for more, shifts in the music, perhaps introduction of different themes or instruments that evoke difference scenes within the "war" theme. I don't really know if this is a reasonable request because it seems that he's wanting you to compose music to align with something he has in his head. But, I would definitely take it as a compliment.
By the way, the Voxos choir library sounds great. I was not aware of it. I can't afford it, but it really sounds excellent and you used it really well.
I like your music. I was trying to suggest to broaden your approach. If you try to build a storyboard to go with your music, there is essentially one theme, one picture. But movies tell a story which is often a dialog. I've been trying to put a story board to your music, which has the broad picture, but never a "closeup". I was suggesting a dialog between framed scenes. Like in a comic book, there is the broad War scene, but the cartoons/storyboard would jump between the broad view, and the closeup of the snorting horse, and back to the broad view, and then to the apprehension of looking at the wall of warriors, and back to the primary characters.
Can you frame your music with themes and intensity to model the changing "focus" on the participants?
I still don't understand what you're talking about.
Maybe my english is very basic or something like that, but... sorry, I can't understand you.
I never plan the thematic of the track. I only make music, and it flows alone... and then I call it as it sounds.
Great work as always.
You've captured the warfare theme. Have you tried a dialog?
Think of a sound track to printed material... Like if you put together a pile of news articles
Brooding theme - pensive, with spikes of anger
Evil theme - building to militant destruction
Disaster theme - battle between death and survival
reflective theme mild pause - resolve from minor key
AH-HA! Solution - drums - upbeat march - horns
resolution - continuation - passion moves against all odds.
Oh yeah! Epic battle about to begin as the medieval army rides on horseback to meet the enemy in the valley of death, Awesome!! Very dramatic and cinematic :D You should add that battle cry in, that would be great! :D maybe add some horse sounds like an army riding. Great!! LOve it :P
Hi,a really nice effort and your description sums up the mood. I use Magix myself and find it easy to use, and its surprising how much you can import into it. I really do like this piece...more soon please
Actually, I have some tracks like this.
For example: Ages of War, The Female Power, Duty and Honor on the Battlefield, In the Fireline, etc.
Thanks for listening and comment :)
Very movie like indeed! Reminds me of one of those movies that would take place in the 1800's. Like a army like or even knight kind of movie. Great work!
You are sooo good at cinematics, really like them. It's so full and nicely done and you always tend to bring such emotion in them. You are one of the best people I know at producing these epic cinematic tracks ;D
Thanks to you for listening!
Well, I've thought of making not so epic songs... but I don't know; although I disagree about wars and stuff, I like that kind of music. I like the energy and the emotion that inspires. It's like this kind of music talks about courage, honor, wisdom, justice, freedom and so on.
But well, I guess I can't make these tracks without Magix. That program does the most of work. I only combine the loops, and I have few of them. I want to create my own loops but I need instruments. I only have the Voxos Epic Choirs. I've just gotten the Shevannai Voice of Elves, but it's very difficult to compose elven songs xD
I have to keep trying.
As usual you have captured the listener with your very well designed mix.
A good piece for the beginning of the year .... That I wish you very musical. Best wishes ....

No, I only use Magix. I wanted to use FL, but it's very difficult to me.
Magix is very easy. Only take a loop and combine it with another.
And the MIDI builder is very easy, too.
Thanks for listening and comment! :)
Does fit the imagination of a battle. Many battles at that. Nice voices applied, telling a great story. A sense of drained energy, in that valley of death facing towards a scale. The strings bring the thought of making a decision to balance or tip that scale. After hearing this I can see the events of that decision being a difficult choice but in the end still a choice. Simple as yes or no when confusion no longer has a reason to stay. The percussion is very nice, helped bring to idea to the front line. Your cinematic tracks do have a good view. Keep at it and thank you for sharing. Peace.
Thanks to you for listening :)
When I finished the song I only thought of an unique cry:
"There's no place for fear.
Doubt cannot reach our hearts.
Courage. Honor.
This is the last battle.
Glory or Death!
Toward the Valley of Death we ride!"
Thanks again for listening and comment! :D

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!

Anyway, I'm looking for artists, especially doing melodic techno, deep house etc... to work in my music label called Chick Records
Description : Treated field recordings of bells and thumping big stainless steel sculptures and synth. Inspired by a trip to the sub-Antarctic Islands.
Description : There are a lot of talented people :
Ft Ankit Sharda for the mantra,
Ft Xelaplus for the choirs,
Ft jjweekz for the voice effect,
Drums :
AcidPro on darbuka
Danke on big cymbals
Loopfreak on indian percussions
Anubis on big drums
Tell me what this track made to you ^^'
Thank you.
Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...
Description : So a new track for everyone. Im pretty impressed by this one, and would even place it higher than one of my best tracks, Angel And A Demon. However, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put vocals to it. I have some in mjnd, but idk if itd be better to leave as is and keep it instrumental or not. Take a listen and let me know! Also, let me know if anything is too loud, still working on my mastering.
Description : NEVER STOP DREAMING!
Love what you do and do what you love.
Made out of Looperman Loops!
Made in 2 Hours!
I was bored and was thinking about a epic movie sooo...yeah...here u got it a full Cinematic Movie Soundtrack...Say what u think..........A NEED FEEDBAK ! A know...its just mixing loops together but it was really , really big fun to make this!
