Just finished a track for a local competition back here in Singapore.

They gave a simple melody to put in...

I just changed it rhythmically and added some of the synths i've been dying to use :D


Drums - Microtonic
Synths - Operator
Strings - Garritan Personal Orchestra
Choir - EastWest Symphonic Choirs


Sampled & Mixed in Live 5

sweet breaks &mdash 03/04/06 - 12:54:46 PM
aw man, someone needs to put this to kung-fu. It gets pretty epic in the
middle too. I love the breakdown. Killler Track. Ever hear of TaQ?

TaQ?

Thanks for your generous comments!

Oh yes... &mdash 03/04/06 - 08:55:22 PM
the strings!!! As soon as they kick in it definitely gets epic. As Joel said,
would be killer in a kung-fu flick! I can see the scenes unfold as I
listen. As well, the craziness about 3/4 of the way in was a nice little
ditty. Excellent breakdown. I hope you do well in the comp. Thanks for
sharing.

This works for me &mdash 03/18/06 - 11:16:13 AM
I'm digging it. Good groove. Good use of strings. Like the electronic and
acoustic feel to it. WTG!

great track &mdash 03/18/06 - 12:49:48 PM
A well balanced mix. The strings a pleasant surprise contrasting with the 'farting' leading synth. A very good job. Thanks for sharing.

I agree &mdash 03/18/06 - 02:04:44 PM
On the strings here. They sound quite clever arranged, and the mellotron (?). sounds very good. You got a nice drift going on here sir, triggered alot of emotions!

I really like it &mdash 03/25/06 - 06:31:21 AM
I like the synth bass at the beginning. A great hook. Would work well
on the TV show "Alias."

The choir is great! Sounds very much like a movie soundtrack.

The violin solo is very effective.

Again with the synth bass. That is great!

This is my first listen to your songs, Joel. You've got a great talent for
putting songs together.

Best,

John

Very cool World sound. This has cinematic fullness. I like the quirkiness
and invention.

Like It &mdash 03/28/06 - 07:02:58 AM
This reminds me of a few bands I like. Namely, "Conjure One." Now you
just need to find a Poe or O'Connor to lay down some cool vocals.

Not sure how long the track is, but if you do add in vocals, might be a bit
short. Not my usual style, but still enjoyable.

While not a Blues Classic, &mdash 04/08/06 - 09:54:41 AM
Being a Blues guy, this is Over There, to me, But

This is a Great Mix, both Rich and Detailed.

Powerful. Has compelling Momentum.

Wish, only, that the Percussion Breaks were more forward and wider, but
hardly a major flaw.

Compliments and Regards,
Cooper

Thanks Guys! &mdash 05/03/06 - 02:47:51 PM
Here's a sweetened version of the track - I cut down some lows and
brightened the highs a bit.

Killer production! &mdash 07/03/06 - 02:46:21 PM
I've never understood how you breakbeat/drum'n'bass/electronic people
do your beats. It sounds to me like a LOT of patience is involved!
This sounds really good - the strings and the choir make a nice contrast
to the groovy, electro beats and that rugged bass synth. Really dug the
beat break near the end.
And finally - a big KUDOS on the production - it's really great!

I love the melody, and the strings make it sounds so pretty. I like the immideate ending, but the strings deff make the song better!
