Battle Of The Strings - DFury

24th Feb 2010 20:28 - 16 years ago
Description : [High quality DL available on my SoundCloud account] I see this as a long sequence where struggle is overcome by hope, and finally there's redemption. This is my humble attempt at highlighting my appreciation of piano and various string instruments in an attempt at captivating the essence of this beautiful genre. Many thanks to The Fam for some of the loops used - I deleted user identifiers without realizing impact so haven't been able to keep up and give individual credits.

The advantage of using good loops in some compositions, is that you can transform, arrange, almost all the "gravy".
Here, it is true that integration into your interpretation is quite different from mine. You gave him a "life" differently, and I appreciate what you did.

I really really like this. It did accomplish your vision. The combination of the piano and strings and their interaction throughout was simply brilliant. Great use of percussion, not too much, just right.

This one shows a real ability to compose and arrange in a difficult genre. I also loved the dynamics in this. Just a really well done piece. You should be proud, it was captivating.

This is a really nice piece of music.Excellent sounds and textures.I think you got what you were looking for.If you will induldge the producer in me, a couple of alternative approaches come to mind.Whilst listening to the track ,I felt the sense of a build up that didn't really come.I thought it was going to explode into a strong beat and rhythm after about the 2.00-2.30 min mark.Possibly condensing the track may add to its impact.Enjoyed the mad,dancing strings at the end.All in all,a highly enjoyable track,that could be even more awesome.Thanks and sorry about the longwinded review...peace and goodwill mate.

Long winded reviews are great, so thanks for spending time doing that. Glad you enjoyed the piece and appreciate the feedback. You've given me the inspiration to take another shot, perhaps take the main jist of the track and spin in into more hip hop mellow instrumental, shortened, etc... perhaps a project for the new year. Take care. - DF

Well done D! This was great, the length was perfect and there were nice changes through the whole song. This is a tough genre and you did a nice job. The description put me in the right frame of mind to listen to this and get into it! Very cool!

Sounds like a winner if you can give it thumbs up, much respect theHumps! I really enjoyed putting it together and go back every now and then to tweak... wish I knew the feature how look up loop creators before I renamed them and lost the sources, I consider this a Looperman collaboration for this reason. Take care - DF

Glocke 11th Dec 2010 18:05 - 15 years ago
This is huuuge! :) an inspirating. ;)

and a damn good arrangement. it feels like waves up and down without beeing brash. except the part from 4.50. this is amazing!

i really enjoyed it, it's also faved! ;)

but one thing: sometimes the cymbals have an very high and annoying frequence... but this doesn't really matters.

DFury replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
thanks for the detailed review Glocke, i'll take a listen using a couple different set ups and will see about fine tuning the cymbal.

It all sounds very terrific. I am guessing every instrument used was digital? If so, that makes it even all the more impressive really.

As far as I know, I found most of these loops on the site and backfilled with others I've collected from other channels. Had a ton of passionate fun with this one, glad you enjoyed.

wow...very pretty...
what youve got here is a beautiful cinematic piece that a hip hop producer would take, lay a hard hitting beat, sung lyrics/hook and/or a sick spit on top and immediate have in his or her possession a top 40 hit. the composition is compelling and commendable. very dramatic...it pulls you right in from note one and doesnt let go until the last timpany drops. Great use and amount of accents thruout. really enjoyed this piece.
amazing work!

Very ambient and cinematic, Well put together the only thing I could suggest is to change up the piano loops during the solo piano parts it might be good for a bit of extra drama. `EEEville

-- *Update* Finally came around to it, dropped in some variety in the middle piano segment, think it does the trick. Tare care. --

[Original] Agreed, I'll keep an eye out for a good solo. Thanks for reviewing - DF

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.

Description : I wanted to create an EDM-nostalgic pop type track. Liek the ones Kygo used to upload in 2016. With a euphoric trance feel but electronic vibe. Highly melodic though. This can be a summer anthem. Although winter's coming. Cheers.
