Winter Sunrise - Kper

13th Jan 2010 15:29 - 16 years ago
Description : Wanted to try the cinematic genre. Used Ansel Adam's "Winter Sunrise, Sierra Nevada, 1944" as an inspiration. Great b&w photo of the mountains. My thoughts go out to those who are facing a mountain. May you experience triumph and peace. Used all loops in Acid with a piano loop from looperman member Beatmaker4free. Threw a little metal in there because that is what I do. Enjoy.

Nice, I think the metal breakdown in the middle. I've just listened to 10 tracks in a row with no distinct change in them, refreshing.

This would be an incredible song for a trailer to a movie. The buildup in the song would go well with the build up of suspence some trailers use to draw the viewer in. Then, of course, it would have to be theme of the movie itself. Absolutely awesome piece.

Thanks for your very kind review, John59. I love the emotions movie trailer songs create so I think I like to tap into that a little. I'm new at this so still experimenting around but I am happy with how this one turned out. I will be waiting for Steven Spielberg to give me a call (just kidding). Thanks again for the review. Kper

Wow, I really like how this song builds up. I love the cinematic feel. It is very epic. I love the suspensful keys and choral parts. This song takes you on a journey. Twisting and turning. Great work! Im faving this one.

Epic...great atmospheric intro.Luv the added metal,really adds a menacing dimension to an already powerful piece.Great percs too.
Think it would also make an awesome video game intro...

Thanks, KTA. Sometimes I use metal guitars as a kind of percussion, which is what I was going for on this one. Thanks for the review, kind words, and for the inspiration. Kper

I gotta admit you have an amazing touch with intros, transmissions and making a song evolve slowly without making it sound boring in any way. The electronic sounds are something that you fit into every song you produce, and it blends with perfection every single time. Great buildup, and lovely progressions.
You are evolving greatly as a musician Kper.

Thanks, Steinaa. I have been taking the time to listen to more of other peoples' creations on this site and I am learning a lot and it is evolving me. It's nudging me to try new things. I always value and appreciate your comments. Glad to hear a new track from you as well. Take care. Kper

Love the part when the metal shows up in the song! The melody played by the strings with the powerchords is very creative imho!!
Great track.

Kper replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks, Mund. I was a little insecure about putting the metal part in. But I always have felt that classical and metal belong together and that they can be used to intensify each other. Were he alive today, I am sure Wagner would have been in a progressive heavy metal band. :-) I enjoy when the combination works in a song. Thank you for your kind words. Kper

Really cool track, has real nice ambiance about it, I agree with oasisduke about your picture, the music really describes it. Nice job on this!!!

It's nice to know that the song accomplished what I hoped it would do. I tend to be all over the place when it comes to putting a song together and while different things are inspirations, they are very functional in that I need them to keep me focused and on track. Thanks for your kind words, ImproveWithError. Kper

i am familiar with this photo...and i think you captured its mood beautifully in this piece. so expansive! its weird, because before listening to this piece i always found that photo to be so lonely...perhaps its the lone horse bathing in a tiny sliver of sunlight. but now, looking at it while i listen to your track, the mountains seem so very massive...so powerful. its a truly stoic piece. well done!

Your review made me look again at the picture and I can see what you mean about the loneliness. I like to imagine myself there and I had a mix of emotions as I thought about it. I focused on the initial peace and then the majesty of the mountains in the song but I think there is the element you are talking about too. In nature, there is a certain amount of peace as well as tragedy in the loneliness you can find there. Thanks for helping me see that picture in a whole new way. It really got me thinking and challenged me to look below the surface as I look for inspiration for music. Thanks for the review- it means a lot coming from an artist whom I respect greatly. Kper

Description : This one I actually kinda like cause it has a more complex melody, and features a bit more harmony. Fun!
It is a little quiet tho, sorry.
Also- I don't actually know if 8Bit Chiptune is the right genre... whatever.
