Sniping In Central Asia - DanGoldstein

8th Feb 2011 02:41 - 15 years ago
Description : young female warrior is in pursuit even as she is pursued. dark foggy night and in the distance a church bell sounds and then . . . gunshots . . .

the track was inspired by a video game concept. intended as journeying/traveling/exploring background. it is loop based, features ethnic drums and a kanoon (turkish plucked instrument)

We seem to have similar interests when it comes to music. I actually want to have my own rpg game created with me composing the whole soundtrack one day. Kind of like most of my fav top composers of vgm or film music. Many favorites of mine are actually foreign. Such as Nobuo Uematsu(final fantasy composer) Yoshitaka Hirota, Nobuyoshi Sano, and many more names i cannot pronounce lol but their work is undeniable. But of course i still love many american based composer such as Hans Zimmer, Bruce Faulconer(DBZ), Martin O' Donnell etc.

And i agree with the others, you have the concepts down, it would just be nice to have full tracks. And from what i know really about VGM, the songs do not have to be "that" long. As they are most of the time tailored to specific scenes in games or movies and will play for maybe 1 minute and 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Sometimes longer, but that's usually credits and intros and stuff like that. How do i know this? Just alot of gaming and movie watching lol ALOT. great initiatives here man. peace

had a chance this morning to listen to "Now I am Free" your voice is nice and clear and a nice range. making the chorus in your high range and that the verses in lower range is such a simple but effective tool for contrast. maybe especially true because of the colors in your voice. anyway - I just discovered this encouraging comment you made over a year ago and I appreciate it. peace . best in 2013. dan

Yep 2 way too short but I was interested in it and wondered where it was going. Should be expanded.

This has a familiarity that I cant put my finger on, a cracking start to something conceptual, downloading, with your permission would be cool to have a go at remixing and extending this, let me know first, cool sound. cheers.

hey salook. thanks for taking a listen. i hear the tambour giving way to a less driving beat, the solo instrument becoming part of this less driving groove, and adding some background color. then bringing back original groove like a refrain with some variation, then breaking into something epic for a conclusion. did you ever do anything with this puppy? midisparks

thanks Kenny Lee. just trying to get my chops a little stronger. working out a few basics. the short loops have been more helpful for that process. regards. Dan

I know this is meant to be short as it's clips for your site, but it would be really great and interesting to extend them to a 'full length' song.
Seriously, this is a really great start, you have good foundations to make it longer without fearing loss of inspiration or ideas.
Anyway, you must be tired of reading and replying the same thing, lol. Keep going, love those sounds, very visual and absorbing music!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
hey ALXSIX. how have you been? yup - it's time to start thinking about growing this puppy. thought is to take down the intensity of drum groove, add solo instrument as part of less intense groove, start introducing more ambient content. keep bringing back original drum groove sporadically and maybe more reality sound effect hits (like the gunshot and the chimes)at those points to mark action. finally break into the fullest orchestration at the end with an epic theme. peace. midisparks

I have to dido whats been said already, ends to soon, brings a bit of fantasy and abrupt chaos for me. I like it. U really got talent with this area of music.
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
i appreciate the encouraging words. next step on this puppy is to refine and take down intensity of the groove. start coloring the background a bit more. so i'm on it - and thanks for the encouraging push. peace. midisparks

Love the classic bit sound guns. Captures the dark night vibe pretty good. In my head I see silhouettes jumping from tree to tree, ninja style. Church kinda in the background, just barely visible here and there through the fog. Very visual music lol. Makes me wanna fire up a game and play! Cheers :D

Again, I was loving it, the drums were sweet, and it ended all too soon.

Nonetheless, it sounded great.
