RoeTaKa Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It's been a long time since I've done any songs for myself so I thought I'd post it. It's emotional and sorta sad, orchestral strings with thick beats and piano melody. Hope you enjoy it! http://www.fileupyours.com/files/239088/Alex%20Roe%20-%20Forever.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jezon2000 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Pretty damn good, Roe. Wasn't sure you still posted on ocr other since I've been gone awhile, but I'm glad to see you are. Hope you're well! You're obviously keeping up with your sounds. It's quite a nice track minus the fact that you have always needed the london symphony orchestra backing you up : ) it has a nice elegiac feel, changes up nicely halfway through, and the string parts are pretty strong and well-developed. my only beef is with the beginning. personally, i feel like it starts up a little too quickly, which makes the beginning feel rushed/unpolished, when the track IS in fact pretty polished as is. i don't know if you're still working on it, but something as simple as just beginning with the piano and then bringing in the strings would help. you may be opposed to a longer lead in and feel like you want to get right into the track, but... i actually think it would suit the track better. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezon2000 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 PS there's a band you should know about, if you don't already: you two have kind of similar styles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_YfPdGq3PE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dual Dragons Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Ha! It's an ocr:other reunion! : )What have you been up to, Lunar? Post something! Oh man, I've been busy as hell, me and my brother have been doing a lot lately, I posted this some time ago in the ReMix section: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22056 and this a few days ago: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=23497 Other than that I've been composing for indie games lately, a lot of very ambitious people out there making high quality games, so I'm composing a full soundtrack for a turn-based RPG right now, and there's a third-person Sci-Fi action game we might do a whole soundtrack for soon. Sorry for spamming in your post RoeTaka I guess I should have made this a PM but I was too lazy for that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalocalypse? Never heard of it, the sigs artwork of the two guys is an original artwork I hired an artist to do, it's supposed to be me and my brother lol One guy once told me it looks like Vamp and Liquid from the Metal Gear series. Glad you like the music man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
