Description : I'm working on getting a good "soundtrack" sort of orchestral sound. This is the most complex piece that I've recorded thus far and getting all the themes and instruments in their best places has been a challenge. I'm still not completely happy with some of the brass sounds, but much of the rest of the orchestra sounds "real".
Comments are always welcome!

"and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!"

That's not true, sir. Broadcast radio is still a huge medium (although not as frequented by the public as in the 80s & 90s). Major record labels still spend thousands of dollars in air-time for their releases. If this was not so, you and I could release our works on the radio. But we cannot because the Majors still have that medium virtually on lockdown (thus making it expensive for the little guys to enter). An independent artist's friend is still college radio.

Really? You think people listen to radios at home or at worK? I guess I always think of radio as a car medium. I suppose that with many stations broadcasting on the internet that there is plenty of airplay out there... but if they are using the internet, there's really no need for the audio restrictions that broadcast radio has. (I guess I just hate those restrictions!) With any luck, the Majors will continue their steady decline, leaving room for the rest of us.

The overall composition is good. The 30-second right channel pan could be annoying to some listeners. Left channel is too low even for a pan simply because it is a near-30 second stretch. For that reason, this would not be radio-friendly (ever wondered why no song ever played on the radio began with a channel panned?). It would work well in a movie or stage theater, but the pan would still need to be shortened to like 10 seconds. Love the break.

Yeah, totally right. I've always liked panning - to an extent! - but it's one of those things that can get overused so easily that I think the standard these days is to NEVER use it. I suspect that "radio friendly" will one day be gone. Between the (necessary) equalization and massive compression, music with dynamics and color doesn't stand much of a chance in a car - and nobody listens to radios anywhere else these days!

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!

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.
