Hi all, Here is another song I was making for an upcoming flash game, which I thought turned out pretty good. The ending is intended to loop immediately back to the beginning. Errikos, hopefully you can't say it is anything like John Williams this time =) http://www.suonlabs.com/music/annn.mp3 The old main theme I posted previously is also updated with crossfading and balance. Errikos, I tried adding the woodwinds in the hits as you suggested, but I couldn't overcome my own bias towards the original way. http://www.suonlabs.com/music/aaaa.mp3 And variations of another slower theme: http://www.suonlabs.com/music/abbb.mp3
http://www.suonlabs.com/music/accc.mp3 - Yes, anything with a solo celesta in 3/4 is forever condemned to be "Harry Potter" now. But I'm still doing it. It probably fits the target audience anyway.
I'll take these links down in about a week. Feedback will be very helpful and appreciated!! Best Regards ~Shawn

I so much prefer it when people betray influences in their music (healthy), rather than specifically trying to copy certain pieces or composers as their primary goal - that's for students and 3rd raters. So, I hope you have good luck with these nice track Shawn. If you can't notate/MIDI it yourself, it's NOT your music!

Wait, which category are you saying I fall into? =) The way I see it, everyone is "always" a student. For me it's (usually) not about pursuing originality, its about pursuing the ability to create an awesome musical experience, regardless of whether its original or imitation. ~Shawn

I was being complimentary Shawn. I felt that your earlier piece sounded as the result of a specific effort to copy John Williams' style, something which is not worthwhile in my opinion even if it could be done perfectly. Whereas this time around, I can still feel him and Goldsmith, but as influences this time in a work that's yours; there is a big difference, and a step in the right direction, one that hopefully will lead you to a sound that is more than less yours. I agree that one should not intentionally pursue originality - it can be a crippling experience. If there is any originality inside you it will come out anyway, if you don't stifle it by particularly aiming to sound like someone else (which I felt happened the first time, much less now). All the best. If you can't notate/MIDI it yourself, it's NOT your music!
