that is exactly the type of track i need at the moment. so calming, it's settling my nerves and makes me feel grounded. the arrangement feels natural and all the sounds are balanced and mixed together well. is the electric guitar sampled and you programmed the melody? or even synth? either way, it flows smoothly and sounds great - gives me some vai vibes. the drum + percs sound excellent as well. piano at 3:47 is exactly what was needed now. i would maybe even add another melody on the piano after the first bar or two, make it into moving intervals/chords or maybe an arp going with the guitar. it's not needed at all, just some thoughts i had. but i tend to overdo it anyway... :P i enjoyed listening - wonderful stuff!
hallo Leon! already loving this after 10 seconds and can say these will be some yummy strings. going to F# instead of C# was a pleasant surprise. guitar fits very well, did you record this guitar phrase? it's constant rhythm is guiding the rest nicely as we wait for the percussions. the solo bowed instrument is insane, what is it? did you have to program this or even play it? here comes the beat now, digging the flow. i am sitting in my chair comfortably at 1:40 AM and getting carried away by your lovely music. it has a meditative effect and helps me relax and focus - thanks. oh also, is it possible to see the picture this was based on? i already was creating an image in my head and it could be fun to compare it to the actual thing you used as inspiration. andreas vollenweider the harp player also used to hang images and paintings in the studio when they were in a creative phase and looking for inspiration. and clearly it worked like a charm. :)
glad to catch up slowly. this is already super nice and i can't wait to listen to more if it's all of such high quality. impressive work my friend, very well done indeed
hello Orlando this sounds wonderful and stays interesting throughout. very good attention to detail and every part adds up to a very smooth and nicely flowing arrangement. it's a pleasure to listen to for me. i wish someone would sing to this, some great combination could be found i believe. maybe i'll try but i don't have high hopes :P
somehow I stumbled upon this wonderful piece of music by accident and thoroughly enjoyed it. You truly understood the ambient genre and implemented it brilliantly here. I don't know if you know Lucia Hwong, she was on the "Private" label at the time and your track reminded me of some of her music... but you know what it's like, with comparisons like that... it's probably totally subjective. Crazy that the track even suggests smells to me... small campfire and stuff...
First...sorry for the late reply my friend...I'm so off lately and choosing that kind of a track for upload just reflects that(I think). It's something different and a bit extreme this time...not really my usual stuff, but thank you so much for giving it a listen and for your words of support...always means alot !
I was impressed with this one, Orlando! I could see this being in a movie that takes place in the 17th to 18th century. The beginning has a dark feel to it while the middle feels more mysterious/dramatic. Great work.
Dramatic intro, sets the mood. Then it's the calm before the storm and the tension builds up. Operatic piece, emotional, tells a story. Nicely put together.
This is too cool! I'm really liking the part around the 1 minute mark, and the enjoyment just continues from there. I've got to wonder where you get the orchestral inspiration, as I've found that it's not easy to come by. The door slam at the end adds a lot to the cinematic edge of the piece. A slamming piece it is... hee hee.
Thank you so much Spiv for welcoming this slamming piece. In fact I was just toying with some demo version synth (already expired...haha) and it just fell together...so funny. Many thanks for listening and comment !
Wow, Orrie. Ares & the Trojans are coming it is so dark I need flashlights to listen to this track mate. But, it is a great track my friend really well thought of piece of music. Well done my friend. Maj
so would it be so dark ??? maybe you're right Leon but by the end you could have put a bird chirping after the door slammed just to remember this masterpiece forever ... :-) fistbump, Danke
Incredibly relaxing and beautiful. I particularly loved the violin, specially the part just before the middle of the song. But the whole thing was a journey.
Wow - masterful in every way - gorgeous stereo sound and every instrument is crystal clear (nothing lofi about this) and its a beautiful evocative track somewhat melancholic but equally lifting / triumphant. Not surprised it has so many plays, fav, downloads and comments. There is a world of amazing music and absorbing listening on LM and this a great example of that

The violin, damn so pretty; I love the amount of reverb that was used
Great track!!

Faved a while back but have to comment... This is sublime. Sound is crystal. Everything is great but those strings are pretty amazing.

An amazing melody and a combination of instruments, and try to sing to this richness?)
Commented on March Of The Machines by Orlando51
That's a great sound at about 2:37. And again at 3:45, with the delay... nice work.
Also, let me know if you want to make something, some complex chord changes to solo over or the like, if so just message me. TTYL.
