Title: Sea Song
Post by: FourthMansions on August 19, 2007, 07:23:33 PM
Hi all

As usual, this doesn't fit into any particular category. I originally wrote the melody a couple of years ago, then put it aside, only coming back to it recently. Comments very welcome.

Hello,

Very unusual style & a very bold and snappy drum track that I like very much.
I was thinking though,that if you added some chord progressions in the backround with some reverb,that would paint a good aural picture,describing the vastness & atomsphere of the ocean.

Just thinking out loud,hope you don't mind. 8)

I also think this is a lovely composition.
 ;) I would love to hear the difference it would make if it were transcribed into 3/4 or 6/8 time signature.  I'm sure that would give it a more 'rolling sea' feel !   Just my opinion!  ;)

This is very nicely done. However, it says 'river Amazon' to me rather than 'sea'.

Thanks for listening, guys, and thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll give them a try next time I take the lid off this one.

I like the approach you're having in this track.

I'm not too fond of the cellosound though. It seems to lack sufficient character to carry the the melody well enough. Also a second counter melody half way through would make it more interesting

Hi Martin

Thanks for listening. I like the idea of a counter melody - might see what I can come up with when I have some more time to work on this one.

Cool and beautiful stuff.
I like ambient and classical music, so no drums is better for this kind of music, in my opinion.

I like.

I really liked this.  Nice choice of sounds here.

As already suggested possibly some reverb and maybe some chorus might be in order.  But I’m nitpicking for sure!  Plus I would not add these effects through out the song, just in select places, as this sounds damn good as is!

Just my thoughts - MarioD

Hi Fourthmansions
Nice stuff !
Very dense harmonies. I like the melody and I won't describe it as happy or sad but it sounds very good to me (for the atmosphere it builds)
Drums works good and sounds Ok

Cheers
