Description : 1906 was the year of the largest emigration wave of Sicilians to America. Sicily, the cradle of mafia and vendeta, and the land of poverty. Why did I compose this? Coincidentaly, last week I was watching again all three "Godfather" movies after a long time (Marlon Brando is still my favourite actor), so I got an idea! The sentiment of leaving beloved homeland and family in desperate search for a better future is the key here to capture. Human heart in sadness but full of hope ! Mediteranean flavour mixed with almost classical elements prevails in this little extra offer. Not a cup of tea for everyone then...probably only for those who are able to survive all that orlandesque trumpery.:) It's a tricky one...ok?

Mate amazing piece of work, just brilliant, so much emotion worked together into this piece, taking you on a journey of hardship...Nearly would say this is my fav piece of yours so far...If not it is right up at the top of the list...MASSIVE fav mate...One of the best piece's heard on the loop in a long while...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, John Williams, and now Orlando...great, great composition!!!!!
There is nothing to critique here. There is simply a stunning, heartfelt composition that was well thought out, and executed even better.
I have nothing worthy to say, so the best I can do is add it to favorites, download it for future reference and enjoyment, thank you for your generosity, and stand and applaud.
I'm so grateful for this review , Barry, so generous and positive...this piece is getting some recognition here on LM that I wouldn't expect....thank you so much!;)
This is full of feeling and emotion. After reading he description, you can't help but "zone out" into the world of imagining leaving behind your homeland while you listen! Well done!
As an Italian who has moved to America, I feel like you've captured the essence in its full. Loving the use of the strings as a call and response in some parts. Your picture of a heart with sadness and hope is one beautifully painted in this piece. Keep doing what you are doing because it is stunning.
much has already been said about this one Orlando...and rightly so...it is indeed exceptional...epic....inspirational....cinematic..thoughtfully composed...expertly arranged...and masterfully played...besides, the production is top notch too....I think that about covers it and thats my honest opinion my friend...Ed
Thank you so much my friend for another supportive comment!
You can imagine how hungry of making music I was after that long blackout and I think now I'm much closer to the former strenghts with this composition. I'm glad you have so much positive to say about it....I always trust your opinion!:)
Also big thanks for the 'fav'...truly appreciated!
I absolutely love the vibe of this one. It reminds me of those 1900 themed movies. I believe your small description fits well with this track. The sounds you came up with creates a very emotional vibe throughout the base of the track. With the right film to accompany it, this song could become a masterpiece no one will ever forget. Even though it does that quite well on it's own.
Very cinematic and dramatic sound. Love the violin part in it. When reading the story behind this song I would say you captured the fear and hope very well.
The only reason I moved away from the speakers for this one was that my kitty was heading towards the fresh vinigrette, but then I was back in the seat. I really enjoyed the texture of the piece. The movies which influenced are not exactly my thing, but I can appreciate the feeling behind it. I have to wonder how much of the poverty in that area is due to the mafia, and how much has to do with morality which encourages overpopulation. But it's the mercury retrograde, so I won't dig to deep into that conversation! Any way, the composition and mixing are top notch on this song, and you've done great!
Hi Spiv! I really appreciate your time spent for something which you're not quite into (certain music styles or movies etc.)and you're always so kind and friendly to say a word or two when my new track comes out....really precious and noble attitude! Thank you alot for that!
Not yet, Joe...haha...I'm still miles away from that level...
Movie makers should rely on kickass composers which I'm not.
For now the most important is that you enjoyed my music and that's a real privilege to me. Thank you so much for that and for this lovely comment!:)
Hi Orlando
I'm italian and I live abroad,
your music is amazing, i can feel a lot of the influences of the southern italian music (minus, maybe a bit of arabs scales)
This one is truly a great piece,
i may suggest you to watch "nuovo cinema paradiso" a fine italian movie, shoot in sicily, with the sound track composed by the great ennio morricone
I have to tell you that I've already watched "Nuovo cinema paradiso" some time ago and it's a great movie with great music score of Morricone!
Thanks alot for the great feedback!
hey Orlando. this is some very fine cinematic oriented piece. really nice work on this one! Some moods (and instruments) present on many of your tracks make me think of House of Flying Daggers and all that kind of cimema.
I must say all these mafia and vendetta movies always scared crap out of me but I really liked Last Tango in Paris.
keep producing!
Wow...you brought back memories on this fabulous movie with Brando and Maria Schneider. Maybe this one would deserve some musical reference too, but the Muze is not always around the corner...:)
Love the Godfather movies :D I've read a few Mario Puzo books as well. I have a Mafia "La Costra Nostra an Expose" vhs box set that's quite interesting and violent to say the least... I didn't know Rudy Guliaani was a prosecutor, he's so young in it, hahaha. I think you nailed your description here once again! *plays again Excellent work Orlando :p I can only imagine having to leave your homeland and go to another country altogether. I've been some miles from where i live for a week at time and after just a couple days I wanted to go home in the worst way!
Description : First off, a big thank you to Condybeats for his guitar and Rasputin for the Rhodes. As soon as I heard the guitar, I had immediate imagery. Play the track all the way through to unfold the story. Very cinematic!
Production and Mastering by Oli (who had goosebumps this time), all lyrics, vocals and owl impersonations by Kay. Please find us also at kayos2.bandcamp.com
Description : Banda sonora de un videoclip que acabo de producir.Cuenta la experiencia de una pareja de astronautas y los recuerdos de ella al perder a su compañero. Espero que os guste. Animo y suerte para todos.
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!

Anyway, I'm looking for artists, especially doing melodic techno, deep house etc... to work in my music label called Chick Records

Ft Xelaplus for the choirs,
Ft jjweekz for the voice effect,
Drums :
AcidPro on darbuka
Danke on big cymbals
Loopfreak on indian percussions
Anubis on big drums
Tell me what this track made to you ^^'
Thank you.
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...
This track is an elaboration of dgalantic’s track “Starting Over 0172257.” It is almost entirely comprised of loops by other artists on looperman. The newsreel in the intro section is from public domain footage of the Vietnam War. Prince Fatty chimes later in with some words of wisdom. The track was sequenced with Mixtikl and edited in Audacity.
Loops from the following artists are included:
1. ThatJeffCarter’s guitar “feedback 197765”
2. three of Nightingale’s harmonica trills: “angels 0088377, inner light 0088361 and never and never 0088366”
3. Heavily fx’ed vocal excerpts from Eshar’s “7th Dimension 0002644”
4. Dcmack’s rhythm loops “2 bass drums 1- 0085449, 2- 0085446, and 4- 0085448.”
5. Steelyvibe’s choral wash “luno frunezo 0005719”
6. Nightingale’s guitar loop “diving deep 0043488”
7. Rasputin1963’s chorals “ soul ladies gospel riff 0088641 and reggae soul girls choir 0087693”
Genre: Cinematic
Tags: papico, Cinematic, Piano, feedback, choral washes, choir, harmonica, guitar, dgalantic- starting over, thatjeffcarter-feedback, dcmack- 2 bass drums 1,2 and 4, nightingale-angels, inner light, never and never, diving deep, eshar-7th dimension, steelyvibe- luno frunezo, rasputin1963-soul ladies gospel riff, reggae soul girls choir, Vietnam War newsreel
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.
Description : NEVER STOP DREAMING!
Love what you do and do what you love.
Made out of Looperman Loops!
Made in 2 Hours!

It has a grand, sweeping epic feel to it. Very cinematic and the violin work is great.
Lots of elements all intertwining very skilfully in such a way that it's hard to work out which instrument is doing what. Lots of beauty and depth.
Sounds pretty much like pro soundtrack work.
Doesn't need any drums.
A short review from me because it's hard to go into detail on this one.
Big congrats.

Great work here!

Do you work as a composer for movies?????
This one sounds like direct taken from a film or just like special maked for a movie. WOW!
With this talent you can help many moviemakers to lift there work up.
Very cool one. I enjoyed the listen and the music touched in a way my heard and thats something very special.
Exelent piece of music!
