AngelCityOutlaw Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I wanted to put together something that would sound like it would be in James Bond or maybe metal gear. http://soundcloud.com/angelcityoutlaw/spy-theme This is what I've got. Mostly, I'd call it an "ambient" tune. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yknow this isn't that bad considering the sounds, it feels pretty stealthy and spy'ish. But being so repetitive and lacking some sort of melody or motif is what lets it down. It lacks character. But the percussion and ambient nature is pretty spot on musically. This reminds me of my really old Goldeneye remix haha. If you were to do something like this again I'd recommend building some sort of mood, perhaps go from ambient to a touch more dramatic just to really get a feel for the song. I'm surprised at the lack of comments, this board used to be pretty good with support and feedback. I think if you want to get comments and improve your work more from that it's probably a safe bet to try mixing some songs and posting in the wip remixes board.

AngelCityOutlaw Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks! Yeah, it was more just a little thing I threw together cuz I was bored lol. You're right though and I'll probably doing something like this on a larger scale in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 gotta agree with comment below - it all sounds good but there's just not much musical material. Some of the delay'd synth sounds suggest they a slight melody but aren't distinct enough to be hummable. This is certainly stealthy etc. - think about altering the two chord structure to create some drama and further tension. The strings seem like they've been generally used well. Perhaps you could change the drum pattern or build up more percussion parts also. Also you could think about including another harmony instrument other than just the strings as at 0:58ish it sounds very bare. Perhaps a pad in the background.
