Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: May 10 2003, 16:40 Did you do this by hand! Man, impressive! It think there is nothing much left to improve about the sound quality. It reminds me to some sort of film music, forgot which film. So I think it would be an outstanding film track. It's a bit to repetative for my taste, though. I notice you've got a note wrong at 00:58. That's pretty annoying. Allright, that'll be it. Congrats for your track. -------------- Read everything I write at own risk. I cannot be held responsible  for depressions and/or suicide attempts of any kind, caused by reading my posts.

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: May 13 2003, 07:30 As it has nothing to do with the wateryflute, it should have started a new topic with it. And you indeed can't sing!   I don't know anything about movies (maybe Blue Dolphin can help here?) but it seemed allright to me. Some really funny bits, like the guy at the keyboard dancing really really silly. The music is interesting. I like the tune you start with, and I like the way it transforms (tranceforms? ) to repetative dance music. That fits the mood of 'battle' well, I think. But you leave the viewer there, if you know what I mean. I get a very unpleasant feeling at the end, like as if it isn't finished. Like quiting in the middle of the action. About the sound I've got one remark. The speech of the 'techno' part has got an aweful lot of resonance on it. Very annoying! In general it seems much fun to make something like this! It makes me wanting to play poker too. -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

MusicallyInspired Group: Musicians Posts: 1445 Joined: June 2001 Posted: May 13 2003, 11:51 Maybe I missed something. How do I actually view this? Is it just a renamed file extention? I have no video player that playd DAT files. What should I do? -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

Blue Dolphin Group: Members Posts: 1232 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: May 15 2003, 08:48 Music, the acient language ---> when I hear it it reminds me a bit of "Dolphins" (2000) with the music of Sting, don't know if you have seen this movie as it is a iMax theatre movie. But I don't think you mean this one. It also reminds me a bit of "Le Grand Bleu" (1988), which is the movie about the deep diver Jacques Mayhol. -------------- -The mark of a good musician is to play one note and mean it- Mike Oldfield - 1980 Back to top
