Love the piano work you did here. The beginning was almost a teaser, I was so getting into it and then it changed about midway through and I was so impressed with the direction you took it. Nice composition. Great use of the strings also. Very nice piece of music, enjoyed it very much!

Thanks for sharing as I will dl this!

Cheers!

Hi J P,

Once again you have produced a class track ( had a listen to some of your other tracks as well) and I am just amazed at your diverse talent! back to this one...just great work and like the most of the others, the piano work is faultless. Great job.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Hey mark, Thanks for leaving a comment on this track ;)

I will try to stay diverse in what I produce and I think that it is fun to try different styles. I will see what I can come up with next time

Thanks again for the kind words

Hi Johnny...just getting back to you on that video thing...had it on my youtube channel for a while but took it down a while back..Its a big file but I do have a squashed down Flash Video copy thats under 13 mb (not good quality) I would be happy to send you if you like...just message me if you want..my youtube, soundcloud etc stuff is under my studio (WestTracksMusic) banner...keep on...Ed

Hi Johnny....I hope by now you aware that you have a special talent...I hope you keep feeding it and doing your music...My impressions are from several things...the compositional thinking and choice of instrumentation....the expressiveness in the playing and the way you use the spaces (as well as the notes themselves)..the way your tune carries the theme that was in your mind and the pictures it paints for the listener...I did a track last year to support a video (time lapse) of the night sky so have some appreciation of the beauty and shines through the darkness.....great job....keep on....Ed

Well I am not aware of myself possessing a special talent, I am aware though that people view me to have a special talent. Slight difference but it doesn't matter ;)

I am really glad though that you enjoyed this and left such a kind comment.
If you want you can message me the song you made, would be interested in hearing that as well. Especially with the timelapse along it, it makes up for something really nice.

Thanks Ed

Ah man, you are only 17 and you have such mad skills. This really is impressive work, and shows a great deal of knowledge on your part, specifically on the compositional side of things. You have a bright future ahead of you. Just keep doing what you are doing - brilliant work. I hope all is well.

I like the contrast of piano to stuttering sound at 1:45, that’s a real nice play on sounds. Good tune overall. Very Midi instrument oriented. You have used Midi to it's extreme indeed.

johnnyproducing replied 11th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Just for the record, I didn't use Midi to record this, I would have gone mad then with the amount of editing I constantly would have to do with this slow pc not keeping up hahaha

But thanks steve for the kind words

Your description has truth within it. A contrast between two sides with equal balance in a gran sense. I do like the keys here, is what pulled me in. When the keys and strings played together sounded vivid sense it allows to pass. Cool melodic arpage. Gives the story more of that contrasting element to glue multiple images together. I think you just created a video out of sound. Good job, thanks for sharing and keep creating those moments in time. Peace,Dave

johnnyproducing replied 10th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey dave,
Thanks for the comment, I am glad that you could find the contrast in this like I did. It feels like a huge compliment to hear I created a video out of sound, might just be too much but thanks a lot ;)

I will try to keep things like this up but mostly they come to me whenever I feel like it so I can't promise to release a lot of these haha

....Johnny are U sure U're 17years old ?!!
U're making me disapointed about myself ...this considered pianO & thoughtfull arrangemenT seems to be written by someone even more throughbred than me & it shows your high inteligence quotient...just my friend I think U may better to categorize this as cinematic or classical ...it's imagery but maybe cinematic more than ambienT(no electronic elemenT U have in it ) to me ...althought this is my idea ...anyway beyond the genre , U're a rare tallenT Jean...
(ps:oOoOps sorry i went to mission and forgot to listen those 2 sent piece of yours !now I'll do & write my idea in email...wacky me..!)take care.___B

johnnyproducing replied 10th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Haha don't worry about it behnam, you shouldn't be disappointed of yourself. Everyone produces differently and we need that diversity to keep music interesting, you add in to that diversity because you compose differently then others which makes your music interesting to listen too ;) Same for many people out here which is why I like to post stuff here and listen to these tracks. Without this music would eventually stop to impress and stop being interesting...

I don't think this should be classical due to the synths added, cinematic maybe, though I don't picture this behind a movie. But I might change it if I keep receiving comments about that haha

This was one of the tracks included in the mail haha, I will see your email coming I guess. Hope you are doing fine further my friend ;)

Haha, no, not the band -- never heard of them. I mean foreshadowing in the sense of a sign or warning of what is to come in the future.

Anyway, again, great piece!
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 10th May 2014 - 12 years ago
I never heard of them either so I was already like what the hell? hahahaha

This makes more sense to me so that is great ;)
Thanks again for explaining
steve010101
steve010101 9th May 2014 21:10 - 12 years ago
Great track man. Has a strong "foreshadowing" vibe to it -- much like the Epic Orchestral genre, but with strong ambient tones. Great piece!
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey steve, I suppose you are talking about "the foreshadowing" as a band? It reminded me a bit of "dark tranquility" but then without the harsh vocals and only with clear ones.

if not then explain me what you meant else haha

Thanks for the kind words further,
great appreciation for the kind feedback I am getting ;)

I'm really appreciating your composition on this piece! I do like piano, especially now that I own one, so listening to how others use piano sounds is inspiring to me. The build that starts half way through is quite impressive and emotional. I can definitely see why you put this under ambient, as it seems like the sounds are digital... to me that should be one of the differences between ambient and orchestral. I enjoyed listening my friend!
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Hey spivkurl, thanks for leaving a comment. So I will see some piano coming up from you soon I guess? That's cool to hear.
Yeah I don't own a piano (do own a keyboard) and I don't really have a plugin that allows me to simulate a realistic piano as of yet, plan on getting my hands on one of those soon.
Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it ;)

clindsay 9th May 2014 13:41 - 12 years ago
Amazing - loved the transitions - piano at 1:48 is perfect - strings at 2:20 as a lovely contretemps to a great transition at 2:55. This is truly masterful - beautiful yet clean and understated. Great work!

nice piano melody...I liked how it builds up...for me was more kind of orchestral for a while, interesting blending of genres...compliments.
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
Ahh yeah it could indeed be more orchestral then ambient, I usually put my piano stuff under ambient though but this features a lot of strings too so I guess it could fit in both

Further thank you for the kind comment, I am glad you enjoyed this and found this interesting

Did u do the piano work yourself? It sounds good! The description matches well.
johnnyproducing
johnnyproducing replied 9th May 2014 - 12 years ago
I composed the notes and everything myself so I didn't use any loops for this if that is what you are wondering. So yeah it is from myself

Thanks for the comment and I am glad you enjoyed ;)

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.
