Argle Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Did this well over a year ago, it was supposed to be for the apparently-dead DK64 project. It's finished, I just don't have a name, because SOMEONE took the obvious name already. Once I learned that a part of me died. It's a genre that I want to do much more: orchestral. If I ever get off my lazy ass and do anything... Yet unnamed DK Isle remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get off my lazy ass and do anything...Yet unnamed DK Isle remix You can still do more with this if you want the practice This may be subtle, but at 0:08 - 0:38, all the leads that play throughout that time are detached, so yuuuup, you can predict that I'll say it's fake-sounding If you listen closely, you can hear the envelope give it a bit of a repeated 'pulsing'. The detached quality is less exposed later on, but I guess the strings lead at 1:30 - 1:40 is missing a little expressiveness---a little lyrical excellence---due to its detached sequencing, too. A lot of this is great later on, and if you want to keep working on this, I wouldn't worry about the rest of it up til 3:06. That triplet... yeah, I'd change that, even though it's a neat highlight, since it sounds like three rapid staccato notes in a row, which is hard on a real trumpet. So yeah, just the detached feel of the earlier stuff at 0:08 - 0:38, 1:30 - 1:40 (I may have missed a spot), and the little triplet doodad at 3:06 are what I'd consider taking another look at if you want, seeing how long ago you made this. The scales and harmonies on this are rather unusual, but I think they work, and there are some neat tonal shifts in the chord progression too. This kinda sounds like some sort of victory march or something adventurous. Edited November 12, 2014 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Nice and fun. How about Cranky's Concierto? Or the DK Rhap...sody? It needs to be something alliterative. This thread is a stealth request for track titles, really. @Timeaus: There are a few bits and bobs that I'm not happy about, but I haven't touched this project in so long I would rather move forward and start on a new orchestral track. Once I mentally close the book on a mix it's very hard for me to want to revisit it. If the trumpet triplet is what I think you're referring to, yeah, that makes me cringe a bit. Needed to be more connected. Edited November 12, 2014 by Argle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
