Description

Picture the creation and opening of a massive wormhole. Countless armed frigates and capital ships reveal themselves to an unsuspecting peaceful planet. Their defences are useless against the oncoming onslaught, leaving a civilization in a brief panic before degrading it to ruins. The armada vanishes almost as quickly as they came.

	You are into a "Let's go destroy a planet" mode. I can't help but imagine these destroyers as evil, except for their really great taste in music. I liked it. Does that make me evil, too? Thanks. Check out my latest song called Do Any Thing

	Armada You think you could send that poor unsuspecting planet this track as a warning of the destruction and chaos to come? Ehhhh, I dono - I'm thinking no amount of provisions could prepare and protect them from this fleet...sounds pretty evil and sneaky! It is a beautiful song P, very fluidic. You are quite the storyteller. Lovin' it! Check out my latest song called Octopus

	Return some interesting combos in here jay - it all feels just a bit off balance, which i suspect is exactly what you were going for. well done! Check out my latest song called Symphonic Smackdown

	yo i love it, you got it exactly right. I always try to incorporate the situation when i do a track like this. The drums are balanced, but the lingering ambience is off balance and unpredictable...Just like the struggle i was trying to convey... Thanks!

	Hum... Didn't sound sinister enough for me. When I think of an armada I think of the Star Wars music as the imperial destroyers approach. This was good but just not sinister enough sounding in my opinion. Check out my latest song called Never Say Goodbye - Bond Challenge

yo
i was worried about that comparison especially when writing the description, but its like comparing Apples to oranges. this isnt suppose to fall into that realm or universe. I wasnt trying to capture a star wars feeling. Try to think of a universe that has yet to unfold. There is evil and deepness to the track, just not to the extent of star wars. ( partially because i steered from orchestral which usually paints the epic over the top scenarios ) but I think it paints the picture well considering the nature of the soundbed. Thanks for the honesty and your opinion though Mark.

Too much B-5 watching, perhaps?
I think you could have gotten more evil/sinister sounds, possibly by going the "Industrial" route, more gritty intense beats and build-up, maybe? I like this track and the sounds you have, but it doesn't really match up with the description for me, I don't hear the peaceful planet, or the panic, or even the immense fleet. But on the other hand, I do hear a cool soundtrack for a solo lost warrior sneaking through an unfamiliar nebula in space... this has a more mysterious/curious/consistent feel to my ears. And I like it. There ya go, my honest opinion, as always :-)
ttfn,
Drakonis

thanks for the honesty eduard, I see where you and mark are coming from. Im not a fan of industrial beats, its too abrupt ( even though the concept of the track is of an abrupt nature ) I wanted to keep the beat in prototype form...hip hopish. I do agree the melody and sounds dont quite equate to a MASSIVE FLEET and more of a stealth bomb run, or something. Thanks for the honesty, I might take yours and Marks opinions and work on a different version. industrial/orchestral included.
Thanks

	I like This is a cool departure from some of your other stuff, but it still has what to me is your signature drum programing. Sounds great with the earbuds, nice spacial mixing. Nicely done. Check out my latest song called Falling Stars Forgotten

	Mellow!! A nice chill out. I enjoyed:) personally speaking from my own point of view and as a 'none loop artist' and a loop artist. if your work is good then all loops are fine with me. 'Music is music' No matter how it's made mee mee meeeee lol .. love it all :) This is really nice though I must say. Well done:) Check out my latest song called IT'S OVER (V2)

a good analogy would be:

think of it as doing a test with blanks as opposed to doing a test with multiple choice. It takes more brain power and energy to create something from scratch. To make every single component work together and blend is a challege, as opposed to lining up blocks of sounds that are prearranged and created by sound studio professionals.

I love the thrill of creating my own sound beds and the feeling of satisfaction knowing I composed and created every aspect of sound found within.

i have nothing against loopers, but there is a huge difference. I have a more developed respect for someone who composes/keys/sequences/plays live. I just like the challenge, ive used loops and just dont get any kick out of it. Its like piecing together a puzzle, the pieces are there now arrange them. I like creating the pieces.

	Sweet I'll have to see some recent SF movies to see what they do in the beat department: I'm wondering if your beats are a bit too emphatic. However, you're getting some fine synth sounds here. Much enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Pipe Spring at Dusk

	yo thanks for checking it out vic, i love the synths and the vibe in this. i probally should have went the route drak was talking about regarding the beat, and i thought about it, ( industrial beat ), but i love the hip hop kinda style so I wanted to keep it in the prototype style.
