Kouly Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 This is my first piece done in Logic. I made some mistakes with it but it sounds decent. I took the flute out of it's natural range and some of the phrases are a little long. I had a time trying to put that oriental style into it, (probably because I have a European heratige). The Chinese flute is from the World Jam Pack and the Strings and French horns are from the Symphonic Jam Pack. All are EXS24 Samples.

David Nahmani Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey, it's really nice! Very new age... could be a good soundtrack to a documentary or movie set in Africa or South America or something. I think the flute needs to breathe more to give a more natural feeling and some rest from that high pitch.. but you figured that out already. I wouldn't like to be a flutist having to play that part (not much time for breathing). I like the percussions. Hey I just re-read your post.. chinese? I didn't even realize. I guess so... Yes, of course, come to think of it. What was I thinking African-South Amercican??? I must be tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben parsons Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 cool feel! i could see an epic journey across China, in to Himalaya... i agree about the flute part. i was cruising along thinking "i like this" and then the big percussion came in and that's when it came alive for me. thanks for posting- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kouly Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks for the feedback. I can see you gentleman have exceptionally good taste! Dave, don't worry about the mistaken geography. It seems there are quite a few people are having difficulty sensing the oriental feel I tried to put into it. I put the song up at Garageband.com and I have received some very good reviews. Of 17 reviewers, 2 thought it had an irish/celtic feel and 2 others thought it had a native american overtones. One even mentioned a Brazilian composer. So I guess I am going to have to work on that aspect along with the other parts. As my first original I think it is being received better than I thought it would. It is quite a learning experience putting something out for people to judge.The next ones are coming along. I tried to avoid any ethnic tones this time. Unless you can pin down synthesizer and electric guitar to any one nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
