Title: Fluss der Liebe

Production Notes:
This concept was initially planned by DarkPrinceLuca as a new age and orchestral piece that could be worked on by DPL, Freemind and myself. DPL's role as creative director of the project entailed conceptual ideas on the flow of the mix, and the initial sound design. From there Freemind created the piano melody and base harmony (most of the new age sections). At that point, I took Freemind's midi work and orchestrated the strings throughout the piece, as well as did the initial orchestral section. I then mixed down and mastered the file. Israfel joined the project near the project's completion. His work centered around additional orchestrations to compliment my initial orchestral arrangement. I then mixed his newly added material with my previous mastered file. The result is this mix.
(this fallthru is one of Freemind's.)
review.
It took me a while to decide whether to post this as a fallthru because i had some reservations about the mix. it is good, but i feel that the dynamics are not what they could be. dispite a climax around 3:45, i feel that the lead up that climax is not fast enough. another problem is that the theme really doesnt ever change. there are no real interludes, or any other kind of breaks from the meandering melody.
i anticipate a few judges penalizing this mix for its repetitiveness. but i also anticipate a few of us praising this mix for it's impressive feel and it's subtle harmonic changes, and for this reason, despite my ambivalence, i decided to post the fallthru.
make no mistake. this mix is not sloppy, nor poorly thought out. it is described as 'new-age,' a term i am less than completely clear on, but i know that the purpose was to create a relaxing mood, and it does that quite expertly.
it isnt for everyone, but i think it is worth a YES
