Thanks. Yeah, it's already been given an offer for licensing so I suppose that is a good sign lol.

I thought many times about livestreaming a jam, but I'm not sure where to start and not sure it would be interesting etc etc. In the end I did a live stream on YouTube the other day of a small gig I did and that was super fun. I'll do that a couple more times and then maybe I'll consider that again. Always try to do the things that are the most scary, that way we grow the most, right? :)

Haha, no worries. I would love to take a look on your end if you stream on youtube.

I was originally scared of streaming 'blank canvas' music. But if it inspires new artists I'm all for it.

Although some people didn't appreciate how long I took to do certain things...I informed them "Guys, sometimes you have to listen to a riff 250 times to make sure it's what you want for the song. You're going to listen to your own work a thousand of times before you release it into the wild. That is what the stream is for, that thought process too."

Very emotional composition. Movie score at its finest. I can feel the mixture of instrumentation. Good mix and production. PEACE. T576 OUT.

Appreciate the kind words. Just getting raw ideas out there for the film scoring masters program so I can work with the teachers haha.

Very cool, where did you livestream it? Feel free to ping me a next time if you do it again!

InitiumMusic replied 17th Apr 2023 - 1 year ago
Will do. I've streamed on Twitch, and facebook on occasion. I don't do it often, usually when I'm starting from complete scratch so non musicians can see the process. Or I stream when I'm finalizing everything.

Yeah understand 100%. I always try to focus on getting the music right before focusing on recording; I generally record guitar/bass through DI and piano through midi (I can't fit a proper Steinway in my tiny apt ;) ) and for drums I do have access to an accoustic set, but for practical reasons I start with some basic midi stuff. It's just easier.
Good stuff man, keep creating!

Yeah the drums make this track. Well done.
So is it all live or currently in midi but you might record it live? I agree with the sentiment btw, I try to do everything live, but having midi piano/strings/drums just is a lot more practical at times, and I wouldn't be able to fit an entire orchestra in my living room anyway ;)
InitiumMusic
InitiumMusic replied 9th Apr 2023 - 1 year ago
Yes. The majority of the drums are programmed and looped. And then every single other part I would record it live (Through midi), then go to the next layer and next layer. So not "live" per se, but you're a musician too, you understand what I mean haha.

Nice track, the drums set the pace so hold on! A little more volume on the mix and it will be more impactful as you continue to work on it. Hopefully you add some hits of some other instruments or some more melodies here and there to fill in the spaces. Some nice wood drum/percussion kits out there that could add some spark, just a suggestion.

Well done! Cinematic for sure, lots of tension and excitement to the track!

Yep, just needed to get the concept out there. There is no real need to up the volume/master quite yet until I feel like I'm done with everything haha. Thanks for the feedback!

Beautiful work - not easy with the vst instruments to achieve such a richly nuaced and textual sound but you have great balance and depth in the sound. Especially love those drums - look forward to hearing what building on this migh sound like but already amazing : )
InitiumMusic
InitiumMusic replied 4th Apr 2023 - 1 year ago
Thank you!

Yeah, I got some expensive new VSTs specifically for strings and piano so I wanted to work on something to test them out. They are sounding pretty good, but I think I could improve them a bit with more practice and editing (The new vst software is a learning experience).

Surprising! We definetely like it. We think it could be coming straigth out of a movie. We agree to BaoBou: if you get into it, the track takes you on a little journey with a mystical
touch. Thanks for your work - we find it amazing what you have done with the acapella...
best regards, Yjuna.

That's a really interesting and impressive track! the intro is maybe a touch long and you risk losing people there with our tiny attention spans these days, but those people would be wrong, and it's worth staying around and experiencing the whole track :)
One tiny thing: the snare sound you use feels a bit "dry" while it's such an important sound in the track. I think you could add maybe some massive reverb, or see if you have another sample for it?
Good luck man. Great work.
InitiumMusic
InitiumMusic replied 19th Jun 2022 - 2 years ago
Definitely agree with you there. Still working on it. But I agree with the snares. I've just been kind of waiting on my ear surgery first lol, so I'm just going by graphs right now, since I can't trust my ears.

Beautiful duet. Your friend has a nice voice. Dijam is coming in cold with the songs recently so I’m glad you could do something to make this even better. Reminds me of lovely by billie eilish and khalid. Peace

Yeah he does. He typically raps/sings RnB. I told him break out of your mold for a song. He killed it. I wish I could sing though :-( Thanks for the awesome comment man!

Beautiful and heartfelt. Could be a movie theme since it has such a dramatic and intensely emotional feel to it. The sound and production quality is gorgeous. Great work!

InitiumMusic replied 12th Nov 2021 - 3 years ago
The original orchestrated early work I did on the track sounded pretty terrible, but my friend Salvo needed SOMETHING to work with to duet with Sara's vocals. Afterwards I reworked the track. I'm glad it turned out pretty good in the end. :-)
