Description : My first "orchestral" track ever.
I never studied music literacy, solfeggio, neither went to a music school so creating such themes is not easy for me and a bit randomly with lots of errors as I put midi-notes....relying only on my ears trying to find the right mood =)

Im digging it, I kept expecting a beat to kick in but it never did, maybe some slow riding percusion could drag it out or somthing? It was a short piece of music but cool!

I have discovered the most amazingly creative people never went to any specialised college/school/university, they just got on and did what they do without restrictions or restraint. I put you amongst those kind of people as your creative composition here is, to my ears, as good as if not better than some compositions I have heard on films and TV. I can "see" the transformation as I listen, and could also have gone in cinematic. you got it man !! and this is the place to get your talents more noticed.

For someone with minimal knowledge amongst music theory you managed to pull off a pretty nice track! I'm in love with orchestral work myself, more so cinematic type pieces that incorporate that and sound like something that should be in a movie..and I totally understand the difficulty of going by ear and feel bud..ur not alone lol,i'll be looking forward to seeing ur progression..you should check out my attempt with my tracks "lionheart" and "Dances with wolves"

Excellent piece you have here.. very moody and dark but with constant little changes keeps it flowing. Very nice...and very professionally done...are you sure you've not had music tutoring...lol 10/10 mate :)

So, I've been listening to a few of your tracks, and I've found that we have a similar taste in music for the most part.

I enjoyed this piece quite a bit, my only suggestion is to add in some echoing drums with a slap of reverb on 'em. Mhm.

Other than that, well done mate.

You apparently have great talent with orchestral arrangement. Those midi arrangements can easily eat up days, weeks, or even months . You have created a good dynamic and dramatic piece here. Not my taste but that doesnt matter. Not everyone is going to love your music but a good ear can appreciate it. Post more tracks.

Really great! The only criticism that I have is that it was a little too midi-ish for me, like the high notes were so piercing that it took me out of it a little. I'd like it better if you could have improved upon that somehow. Otherwise, great job!

Your song had a very progressive spooky vibe. It reminds me of wondering down a dark hall. At any moment something scary will jump out at you. Good job.

great work..
this is a wonderful example of artistic creation not needing to know the math
follow the heart and the ears will never lie.

if you do decide to explore music theory remember one thingg
theory is just a guidline, a tool to be used to help communicate ideas and to help relize vissions.... but they are just tools... their is no rules to music creation none what so everr
its all for you to decide... you have an artistic liscense and you have used it very very well.... again great work

Description : This track is the first two sections of what will (hopefully) be a three-part piece — essentially a suite. I am posting parts 1 and 2 because I think they are ready for feedback from Looperman members. Part 3 isn’t done yet because it requires Human League style vocals from a singer with a distinct British accent. I have the melody and lyrics worked out. I sent a private message a while ago to a Looperman member who I think has the right voice for the job. But, haven’t had a response. Until I find a vocalist for it, I can’t finish the piece. In any case, the total file size of the complete piece would be greater than the Looperman limit, so it will have to be split into parts anyway.

Parts 1 and 2, in fact the whole thing, were inspired by acapellas posted here on Looperman by Jacques Demers:

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6105/love-love-love-ououou-by-jacquesdemers-130bpm-dance-acapella

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6093/dont-keep-back-2-by-jacquesdemers-107bpm-hip-hop-acapella

https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/6091/dont-keep-your-love-away-from-me-by-jacquesdemers-107bpm-hip-hop-acapella

If you haven’t checked out Jacques’ tracks yet, you really should. He doesn’t set them up as “featured” so it might be easy to miss them.

The harmony in Jacques’ acapellas sounded very “Beatle-ish” to me, and that made me want to try my hand at doing a George Martin style treatment. I remembered that ScottsCovers here on Looperman had mentioned an instrument called a Mellotron, which was used by the Beatles, the Moody Blues, Genesis, along with other groups of that era, so I decided to use a VST mellotron as the primary instrument for Parts 1 and 2.

The acapella in Part 2 was in a different key than the one used for Part 1, so I needed to find a chord progression in Part 1 that would modulate the key. Jacques gave me some advice on that, which you can see in the comments on his first acapella.

Part 1 has harp, mellotron flutes, clarinet, french horns, and my attempt at a Penny Lane type trumpet solo (but much simpler). Part 2 has a string ensemble, solo oboe and trumpet in unison, and some Daniel Langois type processed guitars. Both parts were recorded at 60 bpm, largely because that’s where the acapellas seemed to sync best. However, I played the instrument tracks freestyle (rubato), so the tempo actually varies somewhat. Definitely not quantized!

There is a storyline behind this track. Part 1 is the blooming stage of a relationship. Part 2 is about the relationship in decline. Part 3, with vocals, will be about ending it.

I’ve included the transition to Part 3 (which will be a more traditional synth pop section) and just a bit of the first verse backing instrumental so you can get an idea of how things are headed in the final part.

Description : I promise a suprise for non-members once I reach 100 plays, now they can DOWNLOAD it FOR FREE. The only condition are these three simple rules: 01. If you plan to use it somewhere, let me know and send me the link by private message. 02. You also have to put me as the composer of this song. 03. I don't want commercial use and you can use it for youtube project.

____________________

This songs is like a normal day in my life... as my brain point of view. The first part is the morning with strings, horns, clarinette and flute. It's a joyful and beautiful day ! Then, there's a sort of "bridge" between the morning part and the afternoon. Afternoon is awesome and chaotic at the same time, that's why I added dubstep in the middle of the song. Finally,the evening and the night are the second bridge and the end of this piece.

It's the first song I mix Orchestral and Dubstep.
Whole s music maker Jam with Movie Score 1/2/3 and Dubstep (i think it's Vol.2) loops.
Mix = Music Maker (Soundtrack Edition)
Final details = Music Studio

It's a Raw Mix because I really like this song and I want to make a better version ONLY with Music Maker Jam (without mix or whatever, execept for the sound quality).

Feel free to comment :)

Description : I created this track for the love I have for puppies. I love them. Everybody does. This day I went to this park nearby my colony and saw couple of them and thought of making something musically. So this is what i came up with. This time I haven't played much with FX or Technical aspects. Just pure simple & soft melodies. As it is unmixed & unfinished track, request you to boost the volume a little. Hope you all like it! Cheers! :)

Description : RAW (Studio mixing to come later)

Composed in 2015-16

All parts of the story written and inspired by a dream. A very personal story. I can't sing,so the emotions are in the notes. This is the instrumental version. The sheet music was written for a group.
The Expanse is the beginning, a journey into the unknown, a risk.

If you want the 4 part story names, check the song lyrics tab.

Description : First one I posted on here not too long ago when I tried this out. Would love to dabble more with this type for sure as I love the orchestral/cinematic tracks I find on here! Great loops I found by MINOR2GO that I threw together. I just added the bass drum and slight fx here and there. I would consider this cinematic as well. Thanks!
