Me working on some music...

[Tíloran]

I'll post some music that I made while inspired by the movie.  None of them are really done because I get distracted, or I'm not sure how I want to finish it.  Any new songs will be added to the original post (i.e. this thing here).

The first song is Na'vi To War.  I wanted to get a sense of war drums going, but I think I may have dampened the aspect of war like feelings with the French horns and the strings.  Not sure.  (Software used: Project Sam Symphobia, Stormdrums, Cubase)  The drums sounded a lot better through my headphones.  I'm thinking when I exported I compressed too much.  Mp3 formating didn't do me any good other than a swift kick in my ears.  I may have to upload the original wave file...drat.

Edit:  Really?  No one wants to comment on the music?  Does it sound bad?

 It is nice, actually But I have a few niggles. First of all, I don't like the moment the drums stop, and only flutes remain. In my opinion, it would be better if you left snare drum out there, just like it was in the beggining of this phrase. Also, this string ensamble starting during that part sounds a little bit... lazy. They quite don't fit there, in my opinon ;P It might be a  little better if you would shorten the attack in the synthetiser you used.
Otherwise, it is a good one

hey Tíloran, why I can't download it?

[Tíloran]

Didn't know you wanted to download it.  Let me change that so you can download it.

This is awesome! Love the groove and rhythm, and how the melody starts out.

The brass around the 1-minute mark sound indecisive.. perhaps not as melodic as it could be. I feel the strings could become a lot more interesting, especially near the end, when they're just pulling whole notes. Other than that, wow. Has the potential to be more epic though. I'm at the end of my rope though; orchestrating for anything past an ensemble is beyond me...

[Tíloran]

Thanks.  13 years of musical theory and 15 years in Orchestra tends to help.  That and going to orchestra camp.

Very nice piece dude. Although the post on top about the solo flutes was right... adding in a little soft rhythm there and fading it away would do so much nicer!

Sounds like a movie soundtrack. Its very good, although the ending could have had more of a bang to end. But it was good. How did you make it?

Anyone ever listen to Cusco. They re a sort of indian band. ( not sure on that.) But they use a lot of reed pipes and flutes and heavy drums mixed together really well. Everytime I hear certain songs, my mind immediately jumps to Avatar and I relive certain moments in my head.

let me post some and see if you have the same reaction.
