Description : Track time- 2:19
This was something that I started in April, I think. Back when I was on one of my 'Live Instrument kicks'. In relistening, the tempo change up for the second part was unintentional, but I actually like how it works for the mood of this song now.
I put this into Classical because I felt that's what suited it best. And that leads us to the title- Again, in relistening I was reminded of the Guilded Age goodies of yesteryear's masters. The piece screams movement. Not just in it's melody, but almost physically. As if I could see myself atop a majestic steed. Starting out at a reasonable trot, charging right up to a full speed run, and then easing it back to a mid-paced gallop. Beginning outside of some regal estate decked with fountains, Rose gardens, and all. On a semi-cloudy day. Heading left in the direction of the wooded country. Ending up along side a meadow that's bordered by some meandering stream. The clouds thicken and the light of day begins to wane as my Horse and I begin to turn to head back home.
Sorry for that mini-story there. It's just what this causes me to see. Perhaps instead of a solitary Equine maybe it's a carriage full of friends. On their way to some ball maybe. Lemme know what yall think. Later on everyone!

:) this is something really nice you got going on. I feel this is 1 instrument in a orchestration. I feel this is going to be massive. Might take a while but it will be nice.

This is really nice Donnie. If not a full orchestra, this one is really suited well for a nice string treatment, and tymponies, and maybe a big bass drum.

But then you could add a brass section as well.

Man, now I can hear an entire orchestra on this. I think Dave hit the nail on the head. It is rare when a single instrument can carry a piece, but you accomplished that and did it well.

Bravo maestro, bravo.

Prech that mate. Ya know, this one is open for collab. So if you were wanting to take this & add those things ya mentioned above, you'd be more than welcome to. I also love how flex this is (stand alone or with other things). Glad ya dug it. Lates!

This is great. To expand on what Planet stated, if an instrument can stand by itself in a track, the music has got to be great. This piece stands very well by itself.

I may revisit this when I'm better situated and play with it a bit.

Cool deal John. It'd be really nice to see what someone could do with this (since there hasn't been any takers yet).
As for the track, since I don't mess with my instruments nearly as much as I do my DAWs the solo'd thing stands out a bit more coz I don't have anything else accompanying what I'm doing (not even a metronome, which is kind of apparent in this one). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

You know it's interesting when musical parts,passages or instruments are showcased by themselves with out any back up or support from other sources....I like this..(though I've got a suspicion that I've heard it in part before)...next logical step is to expand it into a whole orchestral piece,then you'd really be riding!...nice!..cheers planet

Yessiree boobie thatchers! As for the musical parts part, that's one of the aspects of Orchestral/classical which always intrigues me. How you've got sections, levels (or rows), chairs w/lead (sometimes in solo), etc. And although it's worlds above my understanding I sometimes try to emulate, immitate, and sculpt what they play into what I do. Which leads us to the next part, it's familiarity. I wouldn't be suprized if these key sequences have been used before. It was a very basic key pattern I used to make this. Thanks, L&R!

Very nice. There's a sound in there I hear that I think of as the hoof beats of the horse. I just figured out who you are since you changed your name and avatar Donnie. Been trying to figure that out.

Haha, I am a man of many wonders (bras, bread, Stevies, years, the list goes on). Maybe it's just me getting bored with my surroundings or perhaps it's another phase in my Arthropodic-like life cycle, shrugs. I just think Deck-hed has this ring to it.
As for the track, I was immediately hit with that old-skool vibe, dunno why. Thanks, L&R!

Description : Hi, I just had to try and do my own type of music tribute to the sad and unfortunate events in Manchester the other night

I start the song off with a type of music box to represent like a young child and then i go into a violin strings to try and set the sadness and then after a while i used some soft drum and clicks to represent time ticking and then with just the piano and then in the middle of the track it picks up pace a bit and i decided on this because to represent the strength of the people that will stand strong and i once again also put the music box in with this and my reason was to be strong for the rest of the children and then i finsh up with the piano again and the ending on the drum to remember the lives sadly lost and a type of silence if it were

i really feel so sadened by this event and it trully has me in bits

may we all come together and forever be strong and stand up to these horrible people who think they can destroy us and our children and families and loved ones

God Bless you all and stay safe and be strong

Description : Recorded this a while ago.. Raw, lovely.. I'm an electric guitarist so this is unfamiliar territory for me... I always wanted to master classical acoustic and I will one day. Video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMt7o3ty9pw *Edit* Despite this being painfully obvious, this is not my composition, it's an effort to learn classical guitar and note the progression for future nostalgia.. This site is making me think I should give the anti-vaxxers some credence. Ffs.
