Very nice and subtle track. Very smooth and nicely composed. The piano and strings gave a gentle, yet powerful feel. The percussion choice is interesting because in various areas of your track, it gave a type of hip-hop feel, especially with the hat and clap patterns. This is incredible how you merged all these sounds together in such a dark, yet gracious way. Cheers!
I saw "dark" and there was no way i was passing this one by! piano, strings, some of my favs! Love it :D is the forgotten symphony like a symphony of souls? Wahahaha 3:D>
Challenge Accepted! "Barney Stinson" But Before I remix this I want to hear your thoughts on what you would want to hear in a remix understanding that my style is ridiculously eclectic and sometimes atonal. What elements do you absolutely have to hear in a remix? (This is a new Idea for me. I have to reach out and connect with the original artists to get a better feel of there work other than me just making some wild remix that fits my taste as well...I want some synergy!)
Steve
Interesting approach to remixing a song, I would say get that dark feeling into it but there isn't necessarily a sound that has to come back to it in my opinion
On the other hand electronics mostly go with upbeat kind of stuff
I think a fusion between orchestral and electronics could really work out well for this, tell me what you think
This track is very well composed I love I'm loving every minute of it. I dont typically heart tracks on here unless they are really good but your definatly gettin one from me. To be brutally honest though I didnt really care for the claps and open hats at 3.30 I think if you had something with more punch like some orchestra hits or something would make it more powerfull and emotional. Anyway whocares what i think.Love the ending piano solo! Nice freaking job !
Well I definitely care for what you think, I was planning on getting in some orchestral hits but didn't really have any sound that would do this track honor, the orchestral sounds I have seem to be limited so I might aim to expand those soon ;)
I am really glad you liked it and grateful for the favorite ;)
When I will produce another one of these I will try to keep your advice in mind ;)
Nice dark bit of piano playing. There's plenty of emotion going on which is what this type of stuff needs. Niceley in with the string section. There's a ton of good stuff going on here. Are you actually playing that? Or is it programmed? Either way i like the way it changes around the 2:30 mark. the melody carries really well and then the stings bring it up another level again.
Really nice piece.

Well I play parts on my keyboard and from there on decide which direction I take it too (Don't do that in every track though but works especially well with piano tracks ;) )
And from there on I program them further and add different touches, this piano would else be only suitable in a duet since it uses notes between the chords which would else be close to impossible to play I think.
Here you have some insight on my way of working haha
But I am glad you liked it and appreciate the comment a lot
:)
Thanks ;)
Mate saw this one on the feature list, so thought would drop by for a listen, so glad I did, very nice indeed, loving the piano, love using piano in my trance tracks, just wish I could play, fact you are playing the piano makes this track even more impressive, very nice strings working nicely with the piano and light beat/percussion, extremely pleasant listen...Fav big time matey...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Big thanks Mosaic for stopping by, I really appreciate your comment and I am glad the whole track was so satisfying.
I didn't play this piano in real time though, I use my keyboard for most of the piano stuff but add in different touches through programming them in my daw etc, else it would be very complicated to play this whole thing through haha.
Glad you liked the strings and percussion, decided it should stay like a sort of cinematic kind of percussion.
Very beautiful work Johnny. Loving the slow introduction of other instruments as well to give support to your piano playing. I would say that this was classic cinematics.
I can see Charlie Chaplin doing one of his best works to this enigmatic piece. Awesome mate. God bless. - Billy
Haha interesting, But I find the honky tonky more fitting for Charlie Chaplin.
Thanks a lot for leaving a comment ;) Appreciate it
and I am glad that you could enjoy the build as it is
ofcourse U have several god piano worx Jean ..but this is so artistic , imporessive & thoughtfull ...and also a hard notation for playing ..
gentle & soothing , catchy and memorable but in the same time gray ...
seems someone is talking with a gray afternoon in his loneliness while sky -silent-is just looking at him...
take care my super tallented friend...

Hey Behnam, that's a really big compliment and it means a lot for me!
It is an interesting way of looking at how this music translates itself into a story, It intrigues me.
Hope you received the mail on your yahoo account,
Not sure as of yet ;d
Very good.
Actually it is so good that I think that the piano "alone" would even be better (IMHO).
You have a good touch and lots of good ideas in this one.
Really liked
Ciao, Domenico
PS: I would have downloaded it if it was possible. But no download, so I mark it as favorite for listening again later :)
I considered doing the piano solo but decided it would take a lot of new piano progressions which are pretty hard to come up with after a while, so I decided to layer them for the variation to make it a slightly longer piece without letting it become boring after a while.
really nice piano playing. Reminds me a bit of some classical stuff like Paul Hindemith piano music (2:13 - 2:25). Sounds really interesting. Too bad you just layered the piano with other instruments instead creating some new parts... But this sounds really good like this so far and I really like it.
Nice work.
A.
Yeah I had trouble deciding if I should make a new part or layer the instruments, but I couldn't come up with great solutions for new parts so went with layering it
I'm going in music school for 5 years, and I have to say - this is very good. Sounds very smooth and deep. Few dissonant chords, but it's positive thing in this genre. Strings follows the piano very nice... Really good job done here.
I have never been to music school (unless you count keyboard lessons as something, but not specifically for something like creating music with a pc )
But thanks for the kind words, kept some dissonant chords since it indeed fits with the genre and the genre usually offers a mixture between those different chord types
hi johnnyproducing,
nicely done electro track. I'd say I've listened alot of 90's AstralProjection especially 'Trust in trance' or'Ambient Galaxy' but at the moment I'm much more 'acoustic'... Anyway I am enjoying a lot the work you did with the leads here and programming them. I guess all lead-ins like this are crucial for creating dimamic on the 'electro' track and so on and you did it weryy well.
I agree with the laviathin comment and suggest you to maybe add some pads... It might give some interesting background - some harmonic 'context' to the leads. But it is still very 'electro' so far.
Greetings,
Alex
Well to come back to that, I tried adding in paths or harmonizing but they just didn't go together well for this track, I actually tried numerous times but I couldn't get it to work ;(
Anyways I am glad that you enjoyed the track, I did a lot of work on the leads and such to give them a more unique feel and I am glad I bring that message over ;)
definitely love the modulating synths and the tone and texture of the lead synths that's effen fantastic and delicious really fkn awesome work on the dubsteppy prts!!! yay man. well done.
Makes me so happy to see this ;D
I put a lot of work into modifying the sounds of these to make them sound unique and such, so I am glad that I got that through ;)
Its probably the lack of chords the lead is hangin there with no harmony to define it.I just noticed the whole track has no chords.maybe that's why it seems the freq range is not covered.Good solid mix with the loudness I just think you could have a bit more harmony.Try another lead in 3rds turned down with the same sound layered.

yes I think that would be a brilliant combination. I will start working on this over the weekend.

Well maybe it is a symphony of souls or maybe a soul divided so he can be anywhere and nowhere ;p

Loved that dubstepish part at 2:33!
My only complaint is that the whole thing was abit too loud imo.
