Hi Danke! Been a long time to see, how have you been doing? She neither fired or leave, but move to general affairs to boost hiring mid-carrier recruitment for our business. As a whole, Workforce in Japan become so small, due to accelerating reduction of population.
Clean sounding recording, I can hear all the instruments, so nice mix. This music doesn't come around here too much, it is welcomed!! Well put together and a nice track to get me in a good good mood!
As for reference, not too much compression on each instruments, but put African percussion, djembe with waves low air plugin. Main theme performed by solo flute comes with eventide black hole reverb plug in. Acoustic piano is Native Instruments' The Giant. I mixed with izotope ozone and neutron for tweaking frequency collision. I hope my story is useful for you. See you again!
Very nice piece here. It definitely fits the narrative. It's peaceful tone along with smooth soothing transitions, makes this one a wonderful listen all the way through.
Thanks for your deep insight comment. Transitions or short key modulation I use are very ordinary method that root note moves within half or whole tone including substitution root(Db-G) , and 2 same notes common in before and after transition codes. For simple and easy mood, I applied Oscar Peterson's piano mood on soloing. Thank you for deep listening!
Great intro, strong overall theme. This track sounds like it could be in a video game, very interesting and uses different instruments well! Some of your best work! I like these tracks that tell a story.
I'm happy to hear you love this track.
This time I aggregate music instruments only, but next time I'll provide some other sound gadgets like many pro does.

Have a nice day.
Bro, don't take this the wrong way because you know like 1000 times more than I do about music. However your music has a tendency to be nice. Like it doesn't want to upset anyone. To do EDM and make a hit, you have to throw all that theory out the window and just go with how it makes you feel. And you have to be willing to go crazy and upset people. To have soul, you have to be willing to expose all kinds of pain inside you and be willing to dump it out there. That's called being edgy, and that's the way to make a hit. I think you should do what I do for a while, just use loops, and see if they sound edgy and stir up your emotions. Use them to make some bad ass tracks. Once you have mastered that then go back to composing your own stuff. I'm telling you this because I respect you, and want the best for you and your music.
Really meaning comment.
I was trying to find something very important between the line of your message.
I divide what I felt into these categories bellow. I hope to share with you, if you consent one of these.
What I totally agree
Music Methodologies is limited to good feel of the resonance,
melody line (incl. counter line), and how well sound the instruments.
Although, they don’t have how well music makes someone feel good or bad,
    they are one of the tires drive music safely.
What I miss now
My music uploaded here don’t have a condition that someone ask me to make a music
for a certain situation such as films, TV drama, or commemoration private video.
So, I possibly make only for musical resonance., missing how someone feel.
What I do now
Very my experimental, confined to understand when I use harmony with some instruments,
how it turn out to be. So, if someone favorably listen to my music, I should have put more
musical essence which makes more heart moving including edgy one.
As of now, I don’t know what it is. But, If I use loops as you said, it may be the answer.
I may continue to upload easy pop, jazz tune for experimental basis.
    
What I want to do
   
What I really want make is that
getting out of 8bars A melody follows A dash, follows B bridge
with comfortable harmony or standard jazz chord progression with standard
key modulation. Not only these but also Melody line.
I hear ‘Shashank Redemption’ by Thomas Newman, recently.
Thanks for reading,
I appreciate your support.
See you again!
The piano music is some of the most beautiful piano music I have heard in my life. And the Orchestral part in the middle, while good seems out of place, like it doesn't connect with the piano. Maybe wikkid's suggestion is correct, but it just seems to go from very sparce, delicate and beautiful to a bunch of stuff all at once. Maybe you could add one instrument at a time and carry the piano into it. Slowly build rather than drastic change?
Hi neuromancer56,
Thank you for coming back again!
As you said, especially on the second half of the piano, there could have a chance of adding a single instrument such as flute or strings that embellish melody line. I did not do it, because the comparison between piano solo, orchestration, piano with single instrument seemed odd in A-B-A form within 2:38 short time. I'll try gradually overlay the instruments on another piece next time. Thanks for your advice.
Thank you for this, MasanoriMurabayashi.
Songs always take me on a journey.
I was riding a calm, contemplative wave with the tender sound of the piano keys,
then as the other instruments came rushing in,
I was pulled into a swirl of nostalgia.
Lovely reflective piece of music.
Hi athousandmaris,
What I was concentrated on this tune was tempo. This tune is based on around 74bpm with let 8 bars interval has a little break with sometime around 80ms. To make soloing piano always give me much more effort that I don't know great piano soloist do it on the real stage. Let's have image of the time feel of music goes on the real stage. Thanks for deep intuitive comment. Have a good day!
You have composed a very, very nice piece of music, Masanori. Piano part is really nicely done. I ca see from your comments that you have a good idea of how to approach this kind of music. I will need to read them carefully so that I can learn from you. I can definitely see this being used in a film. Has a "Bridges of Madison County" feel to it. Music in that film was composed by Clint Eastwood.
Hi Eric!
I'd happy to hearing from you that You too are interested in this kind of film music which describes human emotions behind the images on the screen not so interfere the scene of the moment. We sometimes annoy with the feeling that this melody is so strong or not affecting the videos. I saw 'Bridges of Madison country'. Thank you for generous metaphor.
You win! Thanks for melody atmosphere consistency is important. I appreciate two same opinion may reflects there are many people think so. I studied a lot. Great comment!
HI, Jamid
I firstly thought key modulation from Am is to be usual Gm, but there is another choice of minor 3rd interval change which found a lot on film music. Lower chello and Contra bass covers root and 5th, while woodwinds covers 3rd and 7th those every film music composers think of. Next time I'ii try another style. Thanks for listening precisely!
I kinda wished the sparse piano had continued throughout the piece without the orchestra break. Great job with your choice of key and notes for a feeling of melancholy. I did enjoy the descending harp during the full orchestration. Marking this as a fave.
Hi wikkid,
Thanks for listening my tune several times.
As you said, I might have leave sparse piano on the orchestral part for melody consistency. I keep your good advice in my mind. Descending harp were used penta tonic major 6th scale by soundiron Elrysium Harp instrument. So far, I put each midi notes of scales which consumes time. That is good vst instrument includes glissand function. Have a good day!
Hi, BlancFroid! I heard your 'Detektiv' now. I was inspired by your track which has the very atmosphere of suspense and thrill. I've just noticed that I am too concentrate to make flow of melody and chords, The important thing is the feel of texture and elements of surprise. I've learned from your tunes. Thank you for giving me a great opportunity!
Thanks for listening the details. All the track are made of midis this time. choir vst is Olympus elements of soundiron . Others is from Jay bass, active strikes Native instruments and keyboard arpeggio is from Xpand2 of Air music tech which is free just now. this mix is elaborated by using cubase morphing filter on the choir for not to become sticky to ear. See you soon again!
Hey Man,
It don't matter what gene it is, if it sounds good and you made it that's the sweetness. Thanks for sharing your track and it's sounds good too me.
Hi, Dirtzilla, Thank you for listening my first EDM track. This time, I learned enjoyable sounds may comes from simple melody, chords progression and clear tone. That accounts a lot. Have a good day.
Another clean, controlled piece. Again, your instrumentation is excellent. This is a great foundation for either a keyboard solo or I was hoping for the bass to do more variation, however, this is still good as it is. Also, with the elements of jazz you've got going on, you can afford to put in beat changes (faster, imho) but that's just my personal taste. Marking this as another fave from your musical portfolio.
Hi, wikkid! Thanks for listening my track again and again. As you said, bass notes and rhythm pattern was same iteration of different degrees. In drums, I dragged midi pattern from superior drums 2.0 onto the midi track and let it go with out any changes. Next time, I pay much more attention that listener enjoys secret spicy ingredients in my piece. Thank you very much for your fantastic advice.
Hey Brady? Yes Bill? Is it here? I dont know, maybe...look to your right. Hmmm ... I dont think so. No Brady, your other right. Oh... Well... Nope, nothing here. Ok lets go left here. You sure? No... But its bound to be somewhere here ain't it? Well... I geuss so...
Thank you for another stellar creation. Reminds me of the 60s hits I used to listen to by Dionne Warwick and other big voiced singers. The orchestration on the songs they performed were amazing, and so are you violin notes.
So sweet and sharp! I love it. I agree with Discipline about the change at 1:30. Also, I truly enjoy the trail off endings. So dramatic.
Thank you again for sharing your talent.
Good Morning, wikkid! It's 5:30. The sound of violin is processed with morphing filter for more soften sound. Keyboad sounds comes from Zebrallete of u-he and Grandeur of Native Instruments. Thanks for listening again, wikkid! Anyway, wind and air turned into Autumn, here in Yokohama. Today, I'm going to go to the golf course with my friends without composing music. Have a good day!
Hi, neuromancer56! Making sound with only soft synth is sometimes flavorless when it comes to express live performance. So, I made this tune with piano left hand voice comping with swing mood and 1/64 cutting rhythm and so on. But you know, real warmness is coming from actual performance by players. Next time, I should try myself playing real instruments, may be. Thanks for your valuable comment. I appreciate it.
