Alex Kidd - Swimming (orchestra)

[bluelighter]

Hey!

Here is an orchestra arrangement from two themes of Alex Kidd, Swimming and a bit of Main Theme: https://soundcloud.com/bluelighter0085/a-kingdom-under-the-seamp3

Sometime peaceful, or using march band rhythm, or heroic… It was funny to explore these different atmospheres!

The main theme appearing at 2'32 is adapted in a minor harmony and a lot slower tempo can be more difficult to identify. But the melody is well present. It was a good way to get something heroic, like a big boss theme.

I think this mix is finished. But any comment to improve this is welcome

This is bringing back memories!

I think maybe the instruments in the lower-mid frequencies (particularly those drums, (Timpani? (I'm not very educated in classical music))), could do with bringing down a bit as they seem to be overpowering the rest of the mix, making things sound a bit cluttered at times.

Thanks for your feedback:)

 

I've reworked balance between timpani and orchestra bass drum. The two sounds are now easier two identify IMO.

file updated

 

Is this version better? Other points needing correction?

 

Thanks!

New version is here :

 

Timpani well reduced at some parts. I could win some DBs.

 

I think the result is better
