Description : Barrancas was used as a soundtrack to a 3D YouTube video I shot of the same name exploring the Historic Fort Barrancas. This is the second piece that I have created of this nature; both have been quite interesting to work on. These compositions are certainly more about the textures of sounds more than anything else, I consider it more sound sculpting than traditional composing.

If you have time take a listen and give TheSavage some feedback.
I have always felt that the cinematic and ambient genres offered the greatest creative scope to musicians/composers..the challenge of creating the soundscape, implied melodies & vibe that conveys mind pictures...I would just as soon listen to this kind of music without the video as the mind just seems to automatically script the scene & feeling..those choir like pads give it a kind of majestic/mysterious vibe...I dont often listen to almost 12 min tracks unless they are backing a video/movie...but this one kept me listening until the end (cool outro section)...well done TheSavage.......Ed
Ambient is pretty hard to make and this is a great soundscape with plenty of atmosphere, big reverbs and a dark haunting vibe. Love the cavernous feel of it.
It's a pretty epic piece at almost twelve minutes as well.
Strange and enjoyable.

I agree it has some similarities to sculpting. It has peaks and valleys. The wave is interesting to look at. There are interesting faces and mountain ranges.
It is very movie score and builds up tension only to relax again in the midst of the track , I don't know if that's a good thing musically but I can say it works for me and I love it , its music that could cut the atmosphere at the perfect moment. Well played
You sir definitely have my attention!! this wonderful masterpiece "plays a movie in my head" and this composition is just pure inspirational. Wish it was free download tho .... keep up the fantastic work . -EazyBeatz- :)
I like the idea of sound sculpting it has a nice ring to it.
This track is great for a number of reasons. The first is you have good volume it's hard to achieve with out distorting everything. Second the sounds as you say are sculpted quit nicely.
The ambience here is remarkable. Very well done. FT
Thanks, it was a really different workflow. The track started with this massive ambient "air type" patch that I modulated in several ways over the entire 11 minutes...kind of like some audio base coat or something. From there I just listened to the drone tones and if it felt like I was hearing a choir I would add a choir or whatever the vib was. Layer by layer, pass after pass it started to take shape as this dramatic thing. Perception of what I thought I was hearing would influence the next element. It's a fun way to write, I highly recommend finding or creating some audio drones and giving it a try.

Description : Headphones are recommended for a more immersive experience :P - - - A weary American soldier is walking through the remains of what used to be a small town in the middle east, only to rediscover the horrible reality that sometimes war can affect even the ones who have no part in it.

This is my first attempt at creating a virtual environment to tell a story and convey emotion. Hope you enjoy! Comments are welcome!
Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice
Description : This track contains several loops, all of them are from looperman artists - listed below. I don't know if "ambient" fits well for it, but i get most loops from that category. :)
Inspired by the Final Fantasy series and my ex girlfriend. Hope you will enjoy it (not my ex! :D). As always, free to use for a song, any opinions-critics welcomed... UPDATE 2015.10.24.: improved audio quality - lower lows, higher highs. Now in 256kbps!
Description : Working with DarkKZ by Beatskillz, Synthmaster 2.9, Waves Bass Fingers, Microtonic drum synth, Izotope nectar 3 elements, Ozone 8 Elements & several other plugings I'm trying for the first time. The vocal samples are from Ghosthack, LANDR & Sampleswap. Hope you like it. Cheers.
Post script: The word "Ambient" has come up several times in the comment section for this, so I switched the genre to that. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.
Description : Ambient, psychedelic chill out rock or something or rather. Lyrics, vocals, guitars and keyboards myself. One drum loop used (free Loopmasters ambient pack). If you want a bit of a back story on the words check the lyric page.
Description : I made this with Garageband and was inspired by Anime music, such as Naruto. And if you noticed one little part is very similar to one of the melodies.
Description : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.
Description : Hello,
this is a track between composition and cover.
Amandine (Sova Berry or Dine on soundcloud) made a cover of the a cappella "Song of Sophia" by Dead Can Dance.
I liked it very much, so i decided to make an instrumental with her vocals.
Hope you'll like it and if you want to comment, you are welcome, whatever you think.
Bye
Description : Ambient, Chill Out, Cinematic .... I´m not sure ... Take your headphones. Close your eyes. Start the engines and have a ride into the unknown. A spacy little trip from somewhere into anywhere outside. - U_P_D_A_T_E - I made a video to this track. So you can enjoy now the flight with open eys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4u0bRZJ4k
