Thanks it sounds like some mix of Visage's "Fade to grey" with "Forever Autumn" (Justin Hayward) [Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds]. I did try a flute for the lead even- but preferred the Oboe in the end. Will see if I can expand this idea some more.... Check out my latest song called Anyway

So fine Cool stuff with good harmonies. You should definitely develop this (and perhaps lower the lead a bit in the mix :) Check out my latest song called I'll See You Yesterday

Tack så mycket hmm.. probably could shave a db or 2 off the lead sound (JP4 Oboe), thanks for the heads-up. Will try and develop it more later on... which for me can be anything from 2 weeks to several years lol. :o. Check out my latest song called Anyway

Clean mix Love the separation L/R speakers. Electronic, yes. But could be used as a soundtrack, in my opinion. LL Check out my latest song called A Funky Little Thing

Funny... ..you mention a soundtrack .. as this developed I did start to drift into thinking momentarily of a "Hellboy 3" for example... but any futuristic sci-fi/fantasy could use this.. I was thinking of doing more "industrial" drum sounds too... at least for the chromatic descending lines... it does conjure up kinda futuristic/industrial man colonizing and destroying indigenous beautiful (or not) species a la Avatar/Outlander etc etc. Glad you enjoyed it Dave and for the feedback.. I do spend some time on my stereo-field placement choices while mixing. Check out my latest song called Anyway

Thanks Watson The best music for me usually always comes back to some very simple idea(s), hook(s), change(s) etc-that just grab you. Simple is seldom not good (or making it sound simple)- makes the music accessible. Check out my latest song called Anyway

Thanks Stan I came up with the melody and wanted to capture it.. I was surprised that when I figured out the notes I was humming, they were so tight together.. didn't actually expect to hum something so chromatic. Will need to decide if vocals is for this .. or even more soundtrack/instrumental is the way forward. Thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called Anyway

This is a fine start Actually, it's good by itself but I think it has a lot of promise for development, as I think you do. I agree too, that the oboe should be taken down a little but, other than that, a fine sketch. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

Good one... Like most, I too was caught by the chord progression...this travels very well with just a slight hint of the ominous underlying it all. Thanks for sharing another job well done! Check out my latest song called Old Man Mose is Dead

Thank you MJK for the listen and comment: I do try a shift from ominous/industrial/futuristic to more organic... like a space ship planet fall on a lush green planet... or something of that ilk. Check out my latest song called Anyway

Embedded scarf I totally dig the song art. Embedded skin scarf. Way cool. The smooth trumpet synth is ethereal. The overdrive sense makes for interest juxtaposition. WIll this be a part of something larger? Check out my latest song called Dignity

Thanks Tobin might try and extend it some... not sure.. the artwork is excellent: acquired it from http://www.bloodyloud.com .. some amazing manipulated photography there... forget the artists name to tell the truth. That smooth trumpet is a JP4 oboe in fact.. it does give that ethereal touch. Thanks for the listen and comment. Check out my latest song called Anyway

Soundtrack? Yeah, I've always thought the oboe had more "soul" than the other woodwinds - I think it's the double reeds. I agree though that they should be lower in the mix, as others have said. It is a great melody and progression. Some of the coolest and smartest compositions have been made for tv shows, cartoons, and videogames. I see this in that camp.
