Lament for the Bees by bcway

Title	Lament for the Bees
Artist	bcway
Added	Sun 26th Jul 2009
Genre	Orchestral

Description
Update - Oct 19,09. Magix loops. Brass, strings, and piano loops toward the end are mine. This was the first orchestral piece that I attempted. Many thanks to the Looperman community for excellant suggestions. Sadly, the bees are disappearing. Once they are gone we are going to have to learn to eat plastic...

Hey Bcway,

This song has a very good instrumental intro with spirit, expressiveness and real feel; would love to listen to the finished track. Are you planning to extend it?

Cheers, chris

bcway's Reply
Thank you Chris for reviewing my track.
Oh yes, I do plan to fix it up - especially the ending, it's kind of rough at the moment. I've been given some very good ideas by the Looperman community.

This instrumental is amazing. I could hear this in a movie or tv show or something. the beginning sounded like it would be a killer beginning of a crunk track or hip hop joint. somebody should sample it. it would be a hit. good work friend

The cut to piano at ~0:50 is a bit abrupt; I feel like some very light reverby echoes from the previous voices might carry it a bit. The piano is beautiful, and that running flute... great.

At ~2:10, I think the strings you're bringing in take it in a different direction than I was expecting. I was hoping for really loud booming timpani to come in two/four measures before doing that 1-5-1 thing they do.

My imagining cuts it to some sort of wailing guitar fusion piece, but just about anything high energy would work. High strings, a huge brass part, or something with a lot of umph. Also, cymbal crashes.

Sweet track. I hope you make it longer eventually.

Thank you for listening to my track. You've got great ideas for it's improvement - one's I haven't even considered - well done.
I wish I had more time to augment it. You see, working on a new track fires me up with enthusiasim, motivation, and the fun of creation. Working on an old track is like "do I hafta ?" like bring home work from my profession.

Anyhow, I truly thank you for your helpful words.

Sacrament, this sounds awsome, you production is really booming, the build up is great, but honest opinion this is the intro to a masterpiece yet to bet written, your setting up for a masterpiece of epic proportion, from the sound of this I know you have it in you some 8 minutes piece, I have a couple they're a lot of work but worth it, really great job. Peace Love and Freedom to come from BC Quebec.

Pour mon track "Bees", le fin c'est pas bon. Je recu beaucoup de suggestion, which I will do when I have time. Mais je n'a pas beacoup de temp - merde.

First when I saw this is make me laugh, because it made me think about an episode of The Goode Family, and their strange son, who did an speech and it end with "so i ask you, where are the bees"...
But once it started I was totally captivated, I love the solemn starting with the ominous sound of the bells ringing and the soul chilling pad sounds. Great effects. It has been a while since I have a cinematic track so moving, it tells a story from start to finish...A+++ in my book.

I am pleased you enjoyed the track. I was a little depressed after hearing about them thar little bees and their disappearing act - that's not good, we need them around. I heard that some of them are being affected by some sort of mold - difficult to deal with since they don't like to be examined, poked and prodded. Anyhow thanks again.

Hi Mrbc...A good ear at work here I can see...I think orchestral pieces offer a huge soundscape and big bold brush strokes work well when balanced with delicate passages..there's a definite percussive direction introduced during this piece..I'd be looking to follow that for an end run and outro...cheers planet

G'day, sorry for the delay in responding - been taking care of personal business. Thank you for taking the time to listen and for the review. I've listened to some of your tracks. Wow, I love your tunes and the sound of your base. Great constructs.

Hi there Bcway,

Thanks for reviewing my latest track, 'Funky Mix'.
Glad you enjoyed it.
So in return, here is my review of your latest.

I haven't done any tunes like Cinematic yet....altho I am fully equipt to do so. Working with loops is a lot of fun and I see you did a very nice job here of putting this one together.
I like everything about it actually. The piano part is cool especially. Nice and clean sounding. Fits in nicely with the overall picture.
I think you did a great job in putting this one together.

As far as making an ending, not excatly sure other than a repeating part that fades out. Sometimes, my tunes end abruptly, with a delay effect at the very end which is cool sounding.

Anyways, thanks for sharing.
Randy

Ah jeez Randy, please forgive the lenght of time for my reply. My memory is like a...err...uhm..what was I talking about ?

Thank you for reviewing this track. I am very concerned about the bees - they do a unique job, humans or machines cannot do what bees do, and they are disappearing. Somewhat worrisome.
Later dude.

Beautiful would be an understatement. I use to listen to alot of classical growing up, and sometimes I catch myself producing classical phrases in my compositions. But, its so hard since I don.t have top notch gear and software to get good quality, somewhat authentic sound and feel. Going back to what you wrote about ending your material, accompany the last piano piece with some woodwind, gradually building it up with some low strings, and end it with light brush on the piano and some light strings. I know its easier said than done, but just food for thought. Great work, and good luck.

Thank you for listening to it and the compliment. You gave me a terrific suggestion. It sounds like you really know your way around. I think I understand - I will not be able to get to it for a bit - bloodt time constraints again [sigh].
Thanks again.

Amazing stuff right here, for real .... This track is the first orchestral track I've listened too on this site let alone review and the funny thing is, Im open to other genres as its all music right ? - I pretty much make hip hop and chillout tracks, a few electronic and industrial tracks here and there as well and honestly, your profile pic is what entrigued me a little to stop by so I had to check this out and wow am I impressed. Its something about this track thats got me. Maybe the fact that the overall message you are trying to express is very deep and epic, it could be the overall feeling from the track, the vibe ... many things. On that note, Im fav'n this one and look forwarding to checking out some others. As for the ending, I have to agree with DJL3.

Holy smokes ! Thanks JD, I am astonished to have received the attention of a prolific creator and contributer.

I just saw DJL2 sugestion - 100 percent spot on. Once I get a moment ( and peace and quiet ), I will have a go at it.

I'm concerned about the bees, if they go, we will have to learn how to eat and digest plastic (notwithstanding my wife's cooking). Bees are an essential part of our food supply what with pollenation and all that - ah bloody hell, I did not want to pontificate - sorry.

The picture is a WW1 British tank - very first one to have arrived on the battle field - they never did much damage but it terrified the enemy since they never saw anything like that before in trench warfare. My grandfather was there.

I'm still astonished - thanks again
May the road rise to meet you.....

That is a really beautiful track. Its epic in an orchestral way :D

I see what you mean about the end though. Perhaps a build-up, followed by a sudden stop with light violin(?) in the background perhaps?

Thank you, DJL3, your suggestions are spot on. It makes a lot of sense and would fix the problem - damn you're good. It will be a bit before I can get to it [sigh], time constraints. Thanks again.

Thank you for the review - it means a lot having just recently joined the site and have been noticed.
I did not want to say a lot about the bees since it is worrysome, and that this site ( so far as I have seen ) has been created as a celebratory, and a postitve approach to music.
Thanks again, be well, and may the road rise to meet you....

If the track is too long... make a part one and a part 2 ! Sa dérange pas grand choses pour vue que tu t'assure que les tounne se suivent en séquences ! ton beat est super bien fait ! Nice !

Merci tres bien mon ami. Whenever I played base in a band, I would always co-ordinate with and watch the drummer. It was essential to "bring it", to excel and to enjoy.
C'est apres minuit et je suis tres fatigue, gotta go, merci bien un autre fois.
